Cuccinelli donates cash from tainted veterans group to vets organizations...

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has finally decided where to send the $55,000 he got in tainted campaign cash from a shadowy veterans organization that is under investigation in lat least four states.

Cuccinelli was by far the largest Virginia beneficiary of the group, the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. Cuccinelli announced last month that he would donate the cash after months of political pressure. Gov. Bob McDonnell rid himself of the donations in the spring when word started to spread that the group run by "Bobby Thompson" might not be legitimate.

There's still very little known about the man and Cuccinelli's release even identifies him "man who donated as Bobby Thompson" probably because there are identity fraud questions.

Here's the detail from Cuccinelli's office:   

"We have selected eight outstanding programs where we know the money will make a positive impact and benefit veterans and their families around the commonwealth," said Cuccinelli.  "Throughout the past month, my campaign office has been looking for charities that have immediate need and offer essential services to the veterans community." 

 The recipients of the funds are:

 Virginia Vets House - Virginia Beach ($10,700)

If they're ever in Lincoln ma Also the Decorvada Musuem and sculpture park is right down the road and place to stop by. Along with Brayer's house down the lane. You can't go inside his but you can walk around the neighborhood. So his neighbors weren't all that upset since it was his friends.
