First of all, Bucco, I never said he committed a federal crime. That's a question that can only be determined by a federal court.

What I did say is that it appears as though he may have violated federal securities laws and that could be a big problem for him. I went on to say that it remains to be seen whether federal attorneys will choose to prosecute him, but the conviction of the Attorney General by the House of Representatives on mostly a political basis might come back to haunt the Republican candidate.

It's clear that Romney either misrepresented his role with Bain to the public in order to defend against allegations that he was in charge when Bain-owned companies went bankrupt or moved jobs from the U.S. to foreign countries, or he misrepresented his role at Bain to the SEC. The former could be explained as an intentional falsehood uttered while campaigning for office and is not a violation of any law. The latter is a criminal federal offense. It'll be up to the SEC or federal attorneys to decide whether to prosecute and the courts to decide.

Other than the evidence that Romney may have lied, does any of this disqualify him from being President? Not in my opinion. If he lied, so what? Politicians lie, intentionally mislead or parse words all the time.

As far as the "evidence" of what Romney has done, it's not hard to find. The following took me about a minute to find...
