Dem superdelegate Laura Richardson defaulted on three mortgages but managed to loan her campaign $77,500

Developments surrounding Laura Richardson's default scandal are getting curiouser. The Hill is reporting Laura Richardson apparently refinanced at least one of her houses and plowed $77,500 into her campaign, before defaulting on the loans.

Even as that was happening, ethics watchdogs were crying foul over Richardson’s personal finances and questioning how she was able to lend her campaign to Congress $77,500 in the midst of multiple home loan defaults.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports show that Richardson loaned her campaign a total of $77,500 — in three installments — between June and July of 2007.

Richardson, of course, is a superdelegate pledged to Hillary Clinton.
