More GOP "morality"

FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUNDRAISER FOR THE "MORAL" PARTY

Republican stalwart and John McCain fundraiser Emily Pitha fell for Chris Hustrulid.

Pitha worked for the Arizona fundraising outfit Lovas Co., which boasted a client roster that included former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

But friends of the couple said that Hustrulid used his romance with Pitha and her political connections with the stars of the Arizona GOP—her LinkedIn also lists jobs with Sen. Jeff Flake and former Sen. Jon Kyl—for personal gain.

“I got the impression from him that once he started dating Emily that his life was on easy street; that his life was kind of untouchable,” one longtime friend said. “Everybody knew that Emily had pull.”

She was also a political rainmaker tapped by GOP heavies from John McCain to Marco Rubio to court donors to fatten their election war chests.

When the Hustrulid trio moved into Pitha’s two-bedroom home on East Bethany Home Road three years ago in the Wrigley Terrace suburb of Phoenix, everything seemed very cozy.

That all changed Wednesday.

A parcel containing a jigsaw puzzle was shipped from the Netherlands from a “Peter De Groot” addressed to a “Gloria Mears” and headed straight to Hustrulid and Pitha’s home.

On Monday, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in San Francisco flagged and X-rayed it and determined the item wasn’t a puzzle at all, but a puzzle box filled with a plastic baggie stuffed with 253 grams of ecstasy. According to the report, the ecstasy doses were purple-colored, pentagon-shaped tablets, each scored with a ram’s head.

Other agencies were notified and a sting was organized.

Instead of the normal letter carrier, Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service sent an undercover agent in to deliver the drugs.

“When he signed for the package, he signed his real name,” Maricopa County Det. Doug Matteson said, noting that Pitha arrived minutes afterward and joined her boyfriend in remaining silent after they were read their Miranda rights.

Armed with a warrant, authorities searched the house and allegedly discovered a meth lab in the rear. “It was a storage shed on the outside, behind the house,” said Matteson, who was present during the search. “It was a working meth lab. They had glassware and oils and materials and explosive materials and there was a quarter-pound of meth there.”

There were also signs of a plan to cultivate cannabis, according to the cops.

“They were building an addition and had one of those false walls that would have been for an illegal marijuana grow,” Matteson said.

According to the incident report, the search didn’t stop at meth or marijuana hallmarks.

They also evidence-tagged from Pitha’s home (which was fitted with security cameras) 5 grams of marijuana, 3 grams of heroin, 3 grams of cocaine, 10 acid hits, shatter, hash oil, and $7,000 in cash.

Both were slapped with charges of child endangerment, manufacturing narcotics, and possession of drug lab equipment, among others.
