Ward "was the gold standard," Walden said in an interview Friday. "They all said there's no one better; he's the expert."
But now, amid allegations that Ward embezzled money while Walden chaired the organization's audit committee, the Oregon Republican is being drawn into a saga that is getting more worrisome for Republicans by the day.
Among the questions: How thoroughly did Walden and other committee managers monitor the finances of a sprawling -- and vaunted -- operation that raised $49 million last year and, according to The Washington Post, more than $400 million during the past five years?
Even more important: How much money is missing?
Some experts are saying Millions and there was collusion on the part of accounting firms and law firms too.
