And Clinton operative Terry McAwful gave you that $500,000 “campaign contribution” because he’s a nice guy.

The timeline of McCabe Corruption (Slate, 10/16):

Longtime Clinton aide and ally—and then-current Virginia governor—Terry McAuliffe recruited a woman named Jill McCabe to run for state Senate in March 2015. McCabe's husband Andrew was, at that time, the director of the FBI's Washington, D.C., field office.
Hillary Clinton was the featured speaker at a June 26, 2015, fundraiser for the Common Good VA PAC and the Democratic Party of Virginia.
In late July 2015 the FBI began investigating Clinton's private-server case. In that same month, Andrew McCabe was promoted to become the bureau's associate deputy director—the agency's No. 3. The FBI says that McCabe did not have any "oversight" over the Clinton case as associate deputy director.
In October 2015 the Common Good VA PAC, controlled by McAuliffe, gave $450,000 to Jill McCabe's campaign.
In November 2015 Jill McCabe lost her race.
In February 2016 Andrew McCabe became FBI deputy director, the agency's No. 2. It's at this time that the FBI says he began to have an oversight role over the Clinton investigation. (Ultimate oversight over the case rested with Comey.)
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe left the box blank for wife Dr. Jill McCabe's salary, as a doctor with Commonwealth Emergency Physicians. And there is no documentation of the hundreds of thousands of campaign funds she received in her unsuccessful 2015 Virginia state Senate race. (Fox 3/17)
Campaign filings show she received $467,500 from Common Good VA, a political action committee controlled by McAuliffe, as well as an additional $292,500 from a second Democratic PAC.

I'd like to see her campaign finances audited by a forensic accountant. I have never heard of any audit being performed her campaign funds. Were there debts at the end? Or surplus cash. If debts, who discharged them? Did that free up the $700k to make its way to the McCabe family coffers? If there was surplus cash, where did it go?

This is a classic "if it walks like a duck" scenario. All the McCabes are crooked. Hold her to account!

Which I’m sure she has never returned.

Trying really hard to give a schmidt.

Not really. I lied.

The amount was totally out of line for the office she was running for.

That’s a huge contribution for a job that pays $18,000 a year. We need to do some research here, folks. Let’s see how much her competitor raised. These are big numbers for State senate races.
