It is interesting to know that "Abraham Lincoln died after being assassinated." I am sure glad he didn't live after being assassinated – that would be weird.

Sorry blog guy – just bustin' your balls.

But Lincoln did almost 10 hours after being shot–so does that mean it was merely an attempted assassination up until he died?

Bank records obtained by the Review-Journal also show numerous deposits with notations referencing Signs of Nevada, along with the names of political candidates paying for services.

It’s unclear who owns Signs of Nevada. Because Nevada limited liability corporations are not required to list their owners, public records show only that the company’s registered agent is the law firm of Trent, Tyrell and Associates.

Although records show that some politicians sent their payments toSigns of Nevada in care of Professional Fiduciary Services, several candidates said they were unaware their checks went into Shafer’s account.

Many Signs of Nevada clients were running for judicial office — jobs that could put them in the position to hear lawsuits involving Shafer brought by guardians, wards and families of wards. At least one candidate, District Judge Rob Bare, reported receiving $7,500 in in-kind contributions from Signs of Nevada to his 2014 re-election campaign.

Bare could not be reached for comment.
