The Michigan Republicans were IN today and I reached–without any difficulty-Terri Reid. She is legislative political director for the Michigan GOP. Specifically, she says “I did Supreme Court for the party.” And, she says, she knew nothing about any robocalls by former First Lady Michelle Engler: “I didn’t even know what you were talking about when you left your message. It didn’t come from this building.”
Nor was she surprised: “A million robocalls go out.” Maybe, I suggested, it came from the national headquarters. That’s where one of the calls we posted November 9 traced to. “It could have been,” she said. “I didn’t know about it. I don’t know about it. So, I can’t answer your questions.”
Fair enough.
And it might have been just the calls that came from our of state. Brian McGillivary of The Traverse City Record Eagle reports that the Michigan GOP in conjunction with the Law Enforcement Alliance of America pushed $4.5 million of untraceable case into the Supreme Court race. Democrats did something similar, he wrote, to the tune of $2.6 million. Cui bono? Citizens?
If you take the time to read Mr. McGillivary’s piece you’ll note the importance of the makeup of the court in a lawsuit against Meijer.
