Unable to defend himself, Lavelle fed the News Journal this red-herring story.
Two of Gov. John Carney’s appointees are coming under fire for using a series of political action committees to successfully help unseat a Democratic state legislator.
The tip off that this is all about Lavelle trying to muddy the water around his own criminal activity comes at the very bottom of the story when Lavelle denies that this has anything to do with his illegal PAC coordination:
Lavelle’s complaint is somewhat unusual in that it comes from a high-ranking Republican and accuses two prominent Democrats of working to defeat another Democrat.
It also comes just days after the Delaware Democratic Party filed a complaint with the Delaware Elections Department accusing Lavelle and state Treasurer Ken Simpler of illegally coordinating with PACs supporting their respective campaigns
