Uh Oh: Ocasio-Cortez Hit With More Ethics Trouble Over Boyfriend's Congressional Email Account
https://townhall.com ^ | March 7 2019 | Matt Vespa

She came out swinging. She’s pushed the Green New Deal, which was economic insanity. She said fighting climate change was like fighting the Nazis. She chased Amazon out of New York City. She’s defending far-left Democratic colleagues who have peddled anti-Semitic trash on social media. And, like Trump, takes to social media to attack those piling on her appalling positions on policy. She is the female Trump in many ways. As she approaches the age where she would be eligible to run for president, coupled with the intense enthusiasm the base has for her, are there signs of trouble? Perhaps, but it all depends on if she survives this ethics complaint concerning her boyfriend and PAC money that was illegally moved around…allegedly.

Literally NOTHING will ever happen to her or her BF over this. She’s a minority and a democrat so she’s got two of the three get out of jail free boxes checked.

Besides socialism (gag)....Bernie and AOC have a lot in common. AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s Director of Organizing Technology.

Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor "Stripe".........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.

Saikat Chakrabarti was....wait for it....... Bernie's Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.

So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti's tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC
and ended up in Hillary's account
. Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.

Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....

<><> Chakrabarti the tech whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie's tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he? /////THIS JUST IN--- An FEC complaint says AOC and her COS diverted $1 million dollars in campaign contributions to her own pocket .....

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the Brand New Congress PAC, and,
<><> Justice Democrats PAC.
Then Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the Brand New Campaign LLC, and,
<><> the Brand New Congress LLC.
Saikat Chakrabarti's private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

Keep in mind it is a common criminal act to open bank accounts using similarly named entities as Chakrabarti did.
It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by depositing checks in the new accounts with similar names that were made out to the original entity.

Even your bank will advise you that if the check-writer "mis-spelled" your name.....to just endorse the check with the correct name.

==========================================

ANALYSIS --- Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.---SNIP---SOURCED FROM FR.

===================================

JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?

Maybe we should ask Bernie (/s).

Give her a break! She has only been in Congress less than 60 days.

She hasn’t figured out how to skirt the law just yet.

Digging reveals suspicious payments to AOC’s boyfriend began during campaign-allegations surface

FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC’s office apparently doesn’t believe in having unpaid workers; according to her COS they have no volunteers in the office.
<><> So boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but also isn’t on AOC’s staff,
<><> even though Roberts showed up Friday morning in the House directory as processing into her personal office as a staffer.

Taxpayers demand to see all of AOC's financial records as a member of Congress....outlays WE paid for.
We need to see AOC's correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives, wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.

ACTION—Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlaid to AOC, and everyone employed in her office.......including her boyfriend and family members.

ACTION--DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT INFORMATION specifically govt vouchers submitted by AOC:
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment
<><> household help,
<><>reimbursements for varied ancillary interests.

==================================

ACTION-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE AOC PERSONAL AND GOVT CIRCLE IS CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO SHE MIGHT HAVE PLACED ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. (Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in).

These maneuvers leave a huge paper trail.

She’s a Trump employee placed in that seat to guarantee the President’s re-election. That will be the next big scandal. She’s the one that wet the bed in Moscow
