Kurt Holland was enlisted to follow Democratic Senate nominee Joe Donnelly in hopes of catching him in an embarrassing situation.
Turns out it was Holland who committed the faux pas.
Instead of following Donnelly he was following Marion County Judge Jose Salinas. [...]
Holland told police he was working for Pete Seat. Seat is press secretary for the Indiana Republican Party, but Holland told police he believed Seat was working for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
His assignment, the police report states, “was to reveal how ‘the party of the poor’ is actually led by rich people, in nice cars, in rich neighborhoods. The photos were to be used for TV political campaign advertisements.”
Holland told The Indianapolis Star he still questions whether it was Salinas in the car, and not Donnelly.
