'he said e-mail messages quoted by [The Wall Street Journal] were probably references to campaign contributions, which he said were lawful and reported in accordance with campaign finance laws.'

I guess that explains why Trepp jumped all over his wife for the email. yeahrightsure

Do NOT pay attention to that little man behind the curtain.

Hey! I live in Nevada and I can speak from experience that no one is better than Jim when it comes lying, stealing and screwing just about everyone (figuratively and literally).

You can think of him as a dumbed down version of George Bush. (Is that possible?)

I, too am a Nevadan. I have researched the Federal Election Commission's and the Nevada Secretary of State's (SOS) website to review Governor Gibbons claim that those monies "promised Jim and Dawn" (see the e-mail exchange Mrs to Mr Trepp), were "probably references to campaign contributions , which he said were lawful and reported in accordance with campaign finance laws" (See WSJ article). It is not my intention to report anything but the facts as they present themselves in public documents.

1. Governor Gibbons campaign contribution and expense report that is filed by law and is available for review on the Nevada's SOS site seem to show no evidence that ANY contributions were reported by Governor Gibbons during the month alleged (March 2005), nor the following month, April 2005, from Jale or Warren Trepp, or Florence Trepp, nor from any of Mr. Trepp's 26 LLC on file with the Nevada Secretary of State Commercial Recording website.

2. Information from the Federal Election Commission website demonstrates that the last time either Warren or Jale Trepp contributed to "Gibbons for Nevada", the Governor's federal committe, was September 30, 2003.

A). Additionally, Warren Trepp is reported as contributing $2,100 to "Friends for Dawn Gibbons", the Governor's wife's federal committee, on March 21, 2005 (before the Caribbean cruise). Interestinly the FEC site indicates that Dawn Gibbons' committee returned $2,100 to Warren Trepp on September 7, 2006 (3 weeks after she lost her bid for her husband's seat in Congress;

B) According to FEC website, Jale Trepp contributed $2,100 to "Friends for Dawn Gibbons on March 21, 2005. Interestingly the FEC site indicates that Dawn Gibbons' commitee returned $2,100 to Jale Trepp on September 7, 2006.

What's wrong with me? I should know that "legal" contributions are always paid in cash. And cash for both Rep and Mrs. Gibbons. "Don't you ever send this kind of message to me! Erase this message from your computer right now!" Now that says it all, Gov. Gibbons.

Lies, lying, liar. Could Gibbons get a job as the night manager at McDonald's, I doubt it.

Today's Review Journal has a story that is supposed to back Gibbons up on the campaign contributions story, showing that Trepp, his wife, and his mother maxed out to Jimbo and his wife in a 2 month period before and after that email. But its still illegal to solicit or receive campaign contributions in exchange for any official action.

Gibbons is still denying that he's under investigation, but even the local community columnist, Jane Ann Morrison, who usually covers new casino openings and the like, says she has a source independent of the WSJ that confirms he is under investigation.

What?! wrote on February 17, 2007 10:49 AM:

The R-J story is true that both Warren and Jale Trepp each contributed $4,200 ($2,100 for primary election, $2,100 for general election), to "Friends for Dawn Gibbons" BEFORE the Caribbean cruise. As Dawn Gibbons did not win the primary election, 2 U.S.C. 441 requires a refund of any "general election" contribution.

There were no other FEC filings attributed to the Trepps for the remainder of March nor all of April 2005 related to Jim Gibbons.

So Gibbons claim that it was a campaign contribution does NOT hold up and the title of the R-J article is misleading.

Billy kind of amusing, I think I get where you are coming from. But just to clarify things.

Gibbons is a Republican. And Nancy Pelosi is second in line to the Presidency and not fourth: Pres, VP, Speaker, Pres pro Temp, Sec State etc.

Billy, you are a moron. Please grow a brain...Gibbons is a Republican't.

Jim Gibbons is another corker like Doolittle. His wife, Dawn, set up Politek, Inc. in August 2003 and was paid $93k by Gibbons's campaign. Politek was then dissolved in August 2005.

A closer look at the situation behind Pelosi being fourth in line may be in order . . .

In Republican land . . . If Bandar Bush of the royal Sauds dies, President Whore-for- hay de -Shrub will take his place. If a pretzel does its patriotic duty and terms the Chimp-in-Charge while he is deciding about something . . . The Peguin clucks he way to the top of the heap. If its mechancal heart fails and that kills Darth Chain-y, another fictional bad guy must die . . . Maybe the Darth Chain-y is the clone of the Dark Seth Lord Cheny . . . .

Then and only then does Pelosi get a shot at the brass ring.

It is only fiction but does make make sense to Republicans . . . My mother just confirmed that this is her understanding of reality . . . Some one needs to phone Katherine Harris to confirm . . .

Is this the deal where your wife gets a kickback, er, 2% of the campaign donations for their company's work?
