Corruption in the AOC Camp
Timothy Birdnow
Occluded Cortex aka Alexandria Oasio Cortez picks some winners. Now her recently resigned Chief of staph, er, staff is being investigated by the Feds for campaign finance violations.
According to The Blaze:
I suspected AOC was corrupt, and knew she had a lot of dark money behind her. I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Occluded Cortex aka Alexandria Oasio Cortez picks some winners. Now her recently resigned Chief of staph, er, staff is being investigated by the Feds for campaign finance violations.
According to The Blaze:
The investigation comes after government watchdog group National Legal and Policy Center filed complaints with the FEC in March, alleging Chakrabarti created shell companies to circumvent strict federal guidelines governing PAC finances and disclosure requirements.
More from the Post:
As Fox News noted, the FEC only initiates investigations stemming from complaints filed by outside organizations if there is sufficient evidence to believe a violation occurred.
According to the Post, the investigation includes probing the motive behind salary rules implemented by Ocasio-Cortez's office. In March, she announced no staff member working in her office would make less than $52,000 or more than $80,000.
More from the Post:
The two PACs being probed, Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, were both set up by Chakrabarti to support progressive candidates across the country.
But they funneled more than $1 million in political donations into two private companies that Chakrabarti also incorporated and controlled, according to Federal Election Commission filings and a complaint filed in March with the regulatory agency.
In 2016 and 2017, the PACs raised about $3.3 million, mostly from small donors. A third of the cash was transferred to two private companies whose names are similar to one of the PACs — Brand New Congress LLC and Brand New Campaign LLC — federal campaign filings show.
