Michele Bachmann's bitter, unpaid staffer: 'I witnessed a crime ... they covered up the crime.'

Surely she has a reasonable explanation for all this It's been a few weeks since we tuned in to As the Batshit Crazy Bachmann Turns, so it's a good time to check in on the latest scandal to emerge from Michele Bachmann's failed run for president in 2012. Because yes, while the election may be over, and Bachmann's dreams of making Barack Obama a ONE. TERM. PRESIDENT!!!!! have long since faded, the comical catastrophe that was her campaign may well live on forever.

When last we left our certifiably ridiculous heroine, her former staffer, Peter Waldron, was still hopping mad about Bachmann refusing to pay him and a few other staffers because they wouldn't sign a retroactive agreement not to cooperate with the police in any investigations into any potentially criminal activities by her campaign. Waldron has already filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging several violations of federal election laws by the campaign. But he's not stopping there. Oh no. The Iowa Republican reports:

State Senator Kent Sorenson (R-Milo) is the target of a complaint filed with the Iowa Senate ethics committee. Former Michele Bachmann presidential campaign staffer Peter Waldron filed the complaint against Sorenson, who was the state chairman for Bachmann's campaign. Waldron's complaint is 41 pages long. In it, he alleges Sorenson was involved in a violation of criminal law, as well as Iowa Senate ethics rules.

'I did it because it's the right thing to do,' Waldron said, when TheIowaRepublican.com asked why he filed the complaint. 'I witnessed a crime. My faith requires that I report that crime. I reported the crime first to Michele Bachmann. I reported the crime to the chairman of the campaign and no one did anything. On the contrary, they covered up the crime. And they sent me a non-disclosure form asking me not to report it. After one year of waiting on Michele and Guy Short to do the right thing, it became clear they would not.'

Let's go below the fold to look at the crime'sorry, alleged crime'perpetrated and covered up by the Bachmann campaign.
