There are multiple reports floating around and Ms. Durkee’s list of clients goes far beyond the couple of big ticket names provided above such as Feinstein and Sanchez. She also either represents or has previously represented The California Democratic Party, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, the Orange County Democratic Party and more. Also, while I wasn’t personally aware of her before this, it seems this isn’t the first time Kinde has been in trouble. The article lists past instances where her practice has been called in for questions and one investigative reporter in L.A. has apparently been waiting for this day for some time.
Thrilled that the FBI has FINALLY arrested Kinde Durkee of Durkee and Associates who is one of the biggest political treasurers in California is BEHIND BARS. Lots of buzz around the case.
Wonder who is next?…
Wonder how many people are going to “go down” in this case? This could become another “Whose Who Of Politics” pointing fingers in everyone else’s direction. Not a “good Labor Day Weekend” here in Democratic California…

Check them out: Boxer, Feinstein, and the Kali US Reps whose names don't role off my tongue, as well as state types that must have higher offices in mind.
Since they have charged Kinde with only one count of mail fraud, with this "DOJ", I think they're going easy on her to cop to the one count, and avoid dragging any potential co-conspirators into the mess.
Remember the Hillary Clinton fiasco with her bundler Hsu? She had to give his $23,000 to charity and return $850,000 more to his associates in 2007 to pay her way out of that lawsuit before they dropped the charges and let her off scott free...these scammers are how California stays blue...
Hopefully someday Californians will realize the scum bucket that resides in Los Angles and Hollywood supporting democrats is not doing them any favors.
Maybe next time they put a republican in charge, they’ll have enough sense to check out and make sure it’s a republican and not a democrat with an ‘R’ at the end of their pinky finger.
I think when you’re involved in the Democratic campaign business it’s a lot like being in the Mafia. Money flows by in such torrents and from such illicit sources that it’s difficult not to just skim some off the top. After all, who would know? For the most part, the people giving are expecting “favors.” How do they know if the favor was paid for by the $50,000 they dropped off in an envelope or by the $40,000 that actually reached the campaign? The favor is still the favor.
All Democrats have sticky fingers.
That is why all Republicans have sticky wallets.
sticky fingers bump
Political accountants, NGO’s, Charities, PAC’s etc suffer a lot of embezzlement, because they try to keep the oversight to a minimum to keep secrets of their donors lists, operations and personnel. When you have a minimum of oversight you also suffer more losses. They also try not to disclose their losses,because it hurts their contributions. So rarely are the police called in.
There are no pictures. Is she another one of “Holder’s People?”
No. That’s what I thought from the name, but perusing the links about her, she’s been at it since the early 1970s.
Any way, from an earlier post on the subject about a picture...:
