The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative activist group, filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after payments to her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, were made from a political action committee (PAC) managed by her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti.
According to the complaint obtained by Fox News, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation believes that the process by which the money was transferred to Roberts breached the current regulations specified by the FEC.
As IJR previously reported, Luke Thompson, a Republican strategist, uncovered a series of payments between Chakrabarti and Roberts. Chakrabarti ran Brand New Congress, LLC, as well as the Brand New Congress PAC.
Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign paid Chakrabarti through the LLC for his work in managing the campaign. Within two months, the LLC received $6,191.32 from Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign, and Chakrabarti’s PAC cut two checks to Roberts, totaling $6,000.
Thompson alleges that this was an indirect payment from Ocasio-Cortez to her boyfriend.
As IJR previously reported, Chakrabarti denied that anything nefarious occurred with the payments. He claims that the money between the LLC and the PAC is not connected and that he only hired Roberts because he’s good at his job.

....someone has to pay for her hamburgers...
LOL!
If it was a Liberal group the headline would be “Clean Government Group (or some such) Files Suit.”
What a media we have... anything for their advertisers’ favored groups.
“and that he only hired Roberts because he’s good at his job.”
And... what job was that ?
Corruption. It just tastes so good.
Lock her up....
Just saw a great poster of AOC. It shows her sitting with a box of Cheerios on her lap with the caption: “We can end world hunger with these donut seeds!” I cannot confirm or deny if it’s true.
Oh No!!!!
You don’t want to piss her off and have her go against you with that BRILLIANT MIND!!!
This stinks due to nepotism, and also, since they live together, and likeky share finances. So money paid to him, even if for some legitimate reason, ends up back in her hands.
“Donut seeds?” Sounds reasonable to me. Go for it AOC!
I’ll be planting some of those seeds tomorrow. I’ll try some with glaze and some without.
She’s an idiot. She’s a moron. She’s dumber than a box of rocks. She’s never done anything. She might be able to make a decent, skinny margarita. Somehow she was able to get a degree from Boston University, a place some would say is a really decent school(not anymore), in Economics even though she doesn’t seem to have a clue about economics. But.....
The more people keep messing with her, the more publicity she’s going to get and the more she’ll be able to play the victim card from the mean party of old white men. The more cameras and microphones she’ll get in front of to talk about how mean the Republican’s are. The more free publicity she’ll get. Isn’t it said that, there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
She does enough all by herself to provide examples of what a moron she really is. She’s not doing her party any favors with her insane statements and she’s for damn sure, pissing off her party’s leadership.
So, let her keep doing what she’s doing. Keep stuff like this in your hip pocket, for when the time is right. And, IMHO, this isn’t the right time. Empower her to do more and more every day and when the time is right, pull this out and all the other material that she will provide in the future. Because I think there’s going to be lots of it.
As the Dem’s have shown, they’ll eat each other alive, but they will circle the wagons to protect one of their own, if the Right is at the door.
I would hope he’s at least smart enough not to let her near his checking account.
p
That's her mother holding the Bible.....boyfriend is grinning tall guy on right with the beard.
She got caught putting her live-in boyfriend on the Congressional payroll.....
and the buzz is he's got top level security clearance over OUR SAFETY and SECURITY.
Reports reveal suspicious payments to AOC’s boyfriend began during her campaign.
FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC’s office apparently doesn’t believe in having unpaid workers; according to her COS they have no volunteers in the office.
<><> So boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but also isn’t on AOC’s staff,
<><> even though Roberts showed up Friday morning in the House directory as processing into her personal office as a staffer.
===============================
Taxpayers demand to see all of AOC's financial records as a member of Congress....outlays WE paid for.
We need to see AOC's correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives, wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.
ACTION—Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlaid to AOC, and everyone employed in her office.......including her boyfriend and family members.
ACTION--DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT INFORMATION specifically govt vouchers submitted by AOC:
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment
<><> household help,

==================================
ACTION-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE AOC PERSONAL AND GOVT CIRCLE IS CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO SHE MIGHT HAVE PLACED ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. (Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in).These maneuvers leave a huge paper trail.

It’s a good deal, at least for her and her boyfriend; it involves greenbacks; and it’s relatively current - maybe that’s what she meant by a “Green New Deal”.
She understands the most important rule of socialism—some pigs are more equal than others!
AOC is just put out as a lightning rod to deflect from other issues, while at the same time putting a woman out for their masses to gobble up. Her presence keeps the burning racial divide and social justice warriors pacified until they are called.
The DNC’s Big Tent ... a place where he opposition to America comes together
I’ll but it that she said it.
Wait until she plants them & waters them & they dissolve!!!
I have had dogs & horses that are smarter than she is.
