New York Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in serious legal trouble after it was discovered that she allegedly broke campaign finance laws. Fox News reports:
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive firebrand’s multimillionaire chief of staff, apparently violated campaign finance law by funneling nearly $1 million in contributions from political action committees Chakrabarti established to private companies that he also controlled, according to an explosive complaint filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and obtained by Fox News.
Amid the allegations, a former FEC commissioner late Monday suggested in an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation that Ocasio-Cortez and her team could separately be facing major fines and potentially even jail time if they were knowingly and willfully violating the law by hiding their control of the Justice Democrats political action committee (PAC). Such an arrangement could have allowed Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign to receive donations in excess of the normal limit, by pooling contributions to both the PAC and the campaign itself.
The FEC complaint asserts that Chakrabarti established two PACs, the Brand New Congress PAC and Justice Democrats PAC, and then systematically transfered more than $885,000 in contributions received by those PACs to the Brand New Campaign LLC and the Brand New Congress LLC — companies that, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures. The PACs claimed the payments were for “strategic consulting.”
Although large financial transfers from PACs to LLCs are not necessarily improper, the complaint argues that the goal of the “extensive” scheme was seemingly to illegally dodge detailed legal reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which are designed to track campaign expenditures.
Democrats are always criticizing campaign finance laws as being too lax, but they can’t even comply with the existing ones.
Throw both of them in jail for about five years and fine them about $4 million each.
Despite all the malfeasance and socio-economic idiocy of Madam Cortes,
I just can’t get over her incredible good taste and style in her hair, makeup and especially clothing. I just mute the TV sound and feast my eyes on her never-
failing lovely appearance. She is so attractive all the time, and a feast for my eyes.
What she sees in her fat, red-headed boyfriend is beyond me.
Oh well, she probably won’t be around long, and is truly a phenomenon.
Bye bye, Alexandria.
I can’t believe that you find her attractive. Just about every picture I have seen of her she has that same stupid wide eyed deer in the headlights expression on her face
AOC – ‘Oops! I’m sorry! Is all forgiven now?’
A typical member of the modern democrat party. Her arrogance is beyond belief. No doubt she figured what she did was just standard procedure.
It’s 911 all over again! Place these weasels in top positions so none of the crimes get discovered until the damage is done. Wake up, true Americans. Do NOT turn OUR country over to the amerikans claiming the land rights, but not living the citizenry!
You get what you tolerate!!
If this isn’t enough to get rid of this socialist twit, someone tell me what is? Time for New York to do everything possible to get rid of her, censure her, recall her, deprive her of all the benefits she thinks are hers despite not having earned them. Do it IMMEDIATELY!
This woman (?) is a real case of stupidity……..Why anyone could possible vote for her is rediculous. She is also a MUSLIM….a real ass-hole………..
David B. Renaud. Your question is also my question. She is a MUSLIM and how is it that she was voted into OUR government. Are people really that STUPID?
She needs her ass run out a.s.a.p. What’s with electing all of these foreigners?
Just what we need on a conservative site, false claims about a politician. AOC identifies as a Roman Catholic, like most Puerto Ricans. Considering her political stances, especially on killing children in the womb, I doubt she’s a practicing Catholic, but that’s another matter.
Recce1: I thought that at one point during her campaign she stated that she was a Jew. Now I might not know a lot about religion but I do know that Jews and muslims are not the best of friends. Now you are saying that she is a Catholic; another religion that conflicts with both Jews and muslims. Just because she is of Puerto Rican descent doesn’t mean she is Catholic. There are Jews living in just about every country in Europe, there are Italian Jews and Spanish Jews and even some German Jews. Country of origin does not dictate a persons religion.
Remember that old, old saying: I you can’t impress them with intelligence, baffle them with bulls**t. THAT, my friends, is how Liberals ply their wares
Ask Dinesh DeSouza if he thinks that they should serve jail time. They won’t. They’re Democrats. One set of laws for them and one set for the rest.
That’s because the Republicans, atkest some of them have no spine and wont go after these socialist criminals because they are afraid of losing in a re-election bid because that’s all they care about. They have no power because the Democrats are their are their masters. Must really be a sorry life when you fear liberal democrats.
YOU are absolutely right R! Double standards are what the entire democrat party is about. THEY are above the rest of us! THEY are the ruling class and don’t forget it! I’ll bet she dowsn’t know or even care what our Constitution that she SWORE to uphold and defend even says!
Crucify ’em They did the crime let them swing the time!!! It seems the more you let them “get away with” the more they forward the acts!!! Nip it in the bud, NOW!!!
thanx….. rich….. IN GOD WE TRUST
bravo
underwhelming! silly alexiiiiannndria OrcarzzzZZZzzooO GREEN whackadoodle! redefining stupidity. a complete ”egomaniac”….. “pompous little twit.” & her: ”Burger Boy” & His Slush Fun,
