In Connecticut's Journal Inquirer, Don Michak reports:
"Sen. Christopher J. Dodd didn’t have to disclose the two controversial mortgages he obtained in 2003 through a “VIP” program at Countrywide Financial Corp. because of a loophole in the Senate’s ethics rules, a Washington-based campaign finance watchdog group charged Wednesday.
The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics also reported that the five-term Democrat collected more than a tenth of the subprime lender’s campaign contributions this year — $15,000 — and that he had collected a total of $25,000 from Countrywide’s political action committee during his career.
It said that was more than any other senator got from Countrywide and suggested that the campaign contributions were 'investments.'"
