Dems have been laudering money out of public funds into “campaign funds” i.e. “retirement funds” (what they don’t spend on their campaign, any politician can keep whats left over ) for decades. When you control the voter electoral fraud re e;ection is a given anyway.
Oh-BTW-It has stayed under the radar for so long BTW -because the Pubbies do it too. They generally “respect” one anothers’ territory
The UniParty has been a well-oiled machine for decades
I think they changed the laws such that politicians can’t keep leftover money directly. But they can run perpetual campaigns, including charities, and use the funds to maintain staff (personal assistant) and drivers and cars and keep an office and phones etc. It may not go directly to their bank accounts but they can certainly eliminate a lot of personal overhead expenses and make their daily lives more cushy. Maybe they can pay themselves a salary for managing the enterprise. I’m not entirely sure but the so called “campaign finance reform” came with more loopholes than a rodeo.
