Many big-name Democratic politicians used the services of a top campaign treasurer even though she had a history of fines and investigation into how she used the funds of elected officials.
Kinde Durkee was arrested on federal fraud charges this month, accused of taking thousands of dollars from the campaigns of various elected officials. Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Garden Grove), a Durkee client, said her campaign fund was nearly cleaned out, and the Los Angeles County Democratic Party reported that more than $200,000 had been taken from its fund.
Although many Democratic insiders said they were shocked by Durkee's arrest, it was far from the first sign of trouble. When the FBI launched its investigation into Durkee in January, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office and the state Fair Political Practices Commission were already probing Durkee's use of campaign funds.

I'd consider it my patriotic duty to drink up all those Democratic campaign contributions.
sounds to me like she had the goods on the local ‘Rats...and it wasn’t until she got greedy on Feinstein that the Feds could come in to take her out.
Sloppy ethics and creative accounting are the keys to success in the Democratic Party.
Sloppy ethics....... to be progressive moonbat is to be free from ethics. There are no degrees of freedom. There are ethics or there no ethics.
I see a cause in need of porkulus dollars.
Sloppy might have been the wrong word. A better word would be relaxed ethics.
So what did Kinde Durkee do with the money she stole from the Democrat campaign funds?
By chance was Kinde Durkee a launderer for the Democrats and converted campaign funds into personal funds?
“I was aware of some of it,” said state Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana), who said the FBI had informed him that Durkee might have embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign fund. “””
What an example of a person who is running for office & making decisions, rules, & laws that affect us all.
It seems it was OK with this politician that his internal staff member was an embexxler.
As a life long bookkeeper, I am stunned.
As a Republican looking at more Democrat mischief, I am not one bit surprised.
Democrats steal even from each other!!!!
