Prosecutors Say Rep. Hunter Used Campaign Donations To Cheat On His Wife
Talking Points Memo ^ | June 25, 2019 | Cristina Cabrera

Posted on 06/25/2019 9:50:45 AM PDT by Coronal

Justice Department prosecutors alleged on Monday that Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) used campaign contributions to have multiple extramarital affairs, including a $1,000 ski vacation with a female lobbyist.

According to the court filing, Hunter started using the campaign funds to “carry out a series of intimate relationships” with five women soon after he first entered office in 2009.

The first woman (“Individual 14”) was a lobbyist. For about three years, Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions to pay for a couple’s ski getaway (which cost more than $1,000), a road trip to Virginia Beach, and hotel stays, according to prosecutors.

After their relationship ended in 2012, the GOP lawmaker allegedly carried out affairs with four other women until at least 2016–at his donors’ expense.

“Oh..No, if he was a dem and it was another man, he’ll walk.”

Actions such as these are Red Badges of Courage for the Dems, and would be cheered on by the Lib chattering class.

On our side, we call for his head...as it should be.

Note to Duncan: Stay away from raw oysters and clams at the buffet bar.

I guess we not convict based on allegations. So much for that whole bill of rights thingy.

Yeah. Me too. And you know that this stuff is going on all the time with politicians. Maybe if the woman claims sexual harassment the congressional fund to pay her off would make everything o.k. Right? Sure.
