They say hell hath no fury.
Remember, the same mind blaming everyone else for her repeated failures to gain elected office is also the same one that fabricated a divorce and hid assets from Ponzi scheme victims. (more on that later)
Information has come in to your intrepid blogger that indicates that Harkey has also been participating in the Gene James / Bryan Maryott coup that is brewing against the current leadership of the Orange County Republican Party.
This should surprise no one as the alarming behavior of Diane Harkey started to manifest itself in 2009.
Diane Harkey took a lot of campaign cash from donors with business in front of her “former” husband.
California Assemblywoman Diane Harkey accepted $16,600 in political contributions from real estate developers who had received loans from her husband’s business, now under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The borrowers later failed to repay loans brokered by her husband’s lending company, Point Center Financial Inc. of Aliso Viejo. The firm was accused of fraud last month in an investor lawsuit, and the company’s owner has confirmed that Point Center is under investigation by the SEC.
Harkey (R-Dana Point) said Monday that there was nothing improper with the developers’ contributions and that she had no idea they had loans pending with her husband’s company at the time they donated to her campaign.
I feel bad for the people in the Orange County Republican Party that are getting messed on by Diane Harkey – but her moral bankruptcy has been well known for a long time.
So now, Diane Harkey is raising money for democrats and cavorting with Gene James and others in an attempt to try and unseat the current leadership of the OCGOP.
In 2009, she was raking in campaign cash from people doing business with her husband.
In the lawsuit filed last month, the investors contend that Point Center neglected to inform them about the risky nature of its loans and that Harkey, a defendant in the lawsuit, used proceeds from bad loans to donate nearly $1.1 million to her political campaigns.
Harkey said she used her own money — from a prior “six-figure” banking career — to donate to her campaigns for the state Senate and Assembly.
“It came from my personal income. I don’t care what the lawsuit says. It’s frivolous. It’s full of lies. And it will all come out in court,” she said.
Wait, what? Just a few weeks later in the Orange County Register – this gem:
“I’ve been married for 25 years to my husband,” said the Dana Point Republican. “We have personal income. He has income. I have income. Sometimes it was my income. Sometimes it was his income. Sometimes it’s both of our incomes. And I’ve saved him financially many years. So I’m not going to get into whose, yours, mine, ours. Who knows after 25 years?”

Its funny she is talking like a Republican on her public Facebook posts, but likes to do things like this in semi-public. I unfollowed/unfriended her posts for her lack of consistency.
