AOC is one big act. She's smaking the standard Democratic moves:
(A) to keep herself in office, and, (B) gain wealth off of politics, both at the same time.
====================================
BACKSTORY: "Justice Democrats" and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms
should be all about Bernie's policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. AOC was hired to run in NY.
NOTE
<><> "Brand New Congress" mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> "Justice Democrats" is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.
Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.
==========================================
.......an FEC complaint was filed against AOC alleging her COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple
private companies--LLCs--to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......
BTW, besides socialism (gag)....Bernie and AOC have a lot in common.
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it....."Director of Organizing Technology."
AND THIS--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 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 2016 candidate 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?
Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the "Brand New Congress PAC," and,
<><> the "Justice Democrats PAC."
After mucho money was raised, 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.
NOTE WELL: it's a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks 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.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
==========================================
ANALYSIS --- Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC's donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC 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 (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC's 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 landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?
Ocasio-Cortez has served on the board of the dark money group’s “sister organization,” Justice Democrats, since December 2017.
Her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, has also been a Justice Democrats board member since December 2017, and also served as the political action committee’s executive director until February 2018, according to his LinkedIn.
Ocasio-Cortez’s attorney told Snopes on March 8 that she left Justice Democrats’ board in June 2018, but the PAC’s corporate filings with Washington, D.C., currently list her and Chakrabarti as “entity governors” of the group. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti listed as governors of Justice Democrats on March 14, 2019, at 4:55 pm. (Screenshot/DCRA)

Ocasio-Cortez never disclosed to the Federal Election Commission that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled Justice Democrats while it simultaneously supported her primary campaign!
AOC = PLT Pompous Little Twit
Overseen by Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman socialist Democrat’s chief of staff Puppet Master! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amish? Innocent young liberal from NYC?
Not Really!: Ocasio-Cortez’s, boyfriend was paid $6,000 by a PAC owned by AOC’s Puppet Master, Saikat Chakrabarti, now her chief of staff, at a time “when her campaign was running out of money.”
The PAC is affiliated with Justice Democrats, a collaboration between Chakrabarti and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, Thompson noted.
Again, who, might Saikat Chakrabarti be/is?
So what, my voters and supporters don’t give a damn about realities and real history!
Again there are no coincidences at this level!! Who guided/connected Saikat Chakrabarti to AOC to be her Puppet Master?
