Before this is over, the mediots will try to make this embezzler a friend of Sarah Palin, a lover of Perry and a buddy of Rush, and finance chairman of the tea party.
Apparently, she has been looting the math dumb liberals for years if not decades:
Handcuffed Kinde (or, How Durkee Became The Delinquent Democrat)
Sunday, September 4, 2011 posted by South Bay Sunnycrest
Although many of us are enjoying the Labor Day weekend holidays with friends & family, one of the most interesting news items for politicos this weekend could be unfolding right now for Democratic politicians across the state.
As reported by the Associated Press, longtime Democratic operative Kinde Durkee was arrested on Friday by FBI agents on suspicion of mail fraud. Durkee, as any of our liberal, Democratic friends would tell you, has been the campaign treasurer for hundreds of candidates and elected officials across California for decades. Her client list extends to 113 separate committees for left-leaning candidates, PACs, and causes.
According to the AP, the state FPPC (Fair Political Practices Commission) has had to come down on her multiple times for failing to report transactions. San Diego’s Ethics Commission has even dinged her for similar offenses.
Talk about guilt by association, folks. The hit piece potential from this could upend many established Democrats up and down the state, notably in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. The full list of clients can be found here, thanks to our friends at Sacramento Bee.
Durkee’s web of clients even extends down to us in America’s Finest County. One of those San Diego-based candidates/electeds who hired Durkee is none other than South Bay’s evenly sketchy Arlie Ricasa — as if there’s not enough dirt on her already. Birds of a feather, right?
Durkee is expected to make her first appearance in court on Tuesday.
We’ll have updates for you on this as the story unfolds.

On the Secretary of State’s website, you can search WHICH campaigns various treasurers have served.
http://dbsearch.ss.ca.gov/TreasurerSearch.aspx
From January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2011, Kinde Durkee submitted 242 campaign finance reports for groups or committees with either the name “DEMOCRAT” or “DEMOCRATIC” in their formal titles, per the Secretray of State’s data base.
Durkee submitted exactly TWO (2) reports for a GOP group, the obscure, “National Organization of GOP Armenians” (which spent less than $1K the last year).
SUMMARIZING THOSE TOTALS FOR YOU
* 242 reports for Democrat groups
* 2 for a single Republican group.
That’s a 121-to-1 ratio for the Mathematically-minded.
There are dozens more Durkee reports filed for various Labor Union-related PACs and prominent Democrat office-holders like Gil Cedillo, Paul Krekorian, Jose Solorio, Ted Lieu, Jerome Horton, and…..

Loretta Sanchez’s funds ‘nearly wiped out’
A week after her campaign treasurer was arrested by the FBI, U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez’s office says the congresswoman’s campaign account “has been nearly wiped out.”
Adrienne Elrod, Sanchez’s chief of staff, declined to say how much is gone, but confirmed that the account managed by Kinde Durkee is nearly empty. According to Federal Election Commission records, Sanchez had $378,928.50 in the bank at the end of June.

Karma?
Sanchez stole votes by making 'em up..

This will probably cripple if not neutralize the Rat’s phoney non profits, which laundry money to elect and reelect rats in California.
These crooked rat bastards are basically defanged by losing their money.

Headline in the NYT: "GOP Campaign Treasurer Embezzled Funds"
I served on the board of directors of a national trade association in the mid 80s and within a few months I suspected something was wrong when one of our managers refused to hire a accounting firm to do a audit for us. This woman was so deceitful that she bought a quick print franchise and was printing fake bank statements and putting in her own bogus numbers. Our investigation showed she had 5 or 6 bank accounts to filter the money through. We made a mistake in not bringing in the county DAs office in Dallas Tx.
