It looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the golden girl of the Democratic Party, might be in some serious trouble, according to a new report from The Daily Caller. According to the report, Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti appear to have been in control of Justice Democrats PAC from December 2017 through her primary campaign victory in June 2018. Justice Democrats PAC donated heavily to her campaign, and that support was crucial for her victory.
If the Federal Election Commission (FEC) finds that the New York Democrat’s campaign operated in affiliation with the PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, it would open them up to “massive reporting violations, probably at least some illegal contribution violations exceeding the lawful limits,” former FEC commissioner Brad Smith said. Ocasio-Cortez never disclosed to the FEC that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled the PAC while it was simultaneously supporting her primary campaign, and former FEC commissioners say the arrangement could lead to multiple campaign finance violations. The group backed 12 Democrats during the 2018 midterms, but Ocasio-Cortez was the only one of those to win her general election.
“If the facts as alleged are true, and a candidate had control over a PAC that was working to get that candidate elected, then that candidate is potentially in very big trouble and may have engaged in multiple violations of federal campaign finance law, including receiving excessive contributions,” former Republican FEC commissioner Hans von Spakovsky told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Brad Smith, a former FEC commissioner, says that if a complaint were to be filed, he thinks “it would trigger a serious investigation,” and potentially result in jail time for Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti.

When pigs fly....................
Every once in a blue moon, the dims allow one of their own to be prosecuted. If they get out of line.
There was a congressman from Ohio, Trafficant that got sideways with the law when he strayed off the democrat party’s narrative.
Could someone direct us to the complaint department?
Biggest chuckle I have had all day. A Democrat “held to account” for anything by the GOP. My sides.
That sort of thing can lead to a sternly worded letter ...
I’ll believe it when I see it but have everything crossed.
Full corrected sentence “Had she been a conservative she could be facing jail time now.”/s
Now she’s free to go to lavish lawn parties at Hillary and Huma’s mansion, behind the high security fences and walls.
AOC to her driver:”Keep the SUV limo engine running the whole time I’m here. I hate to wait when I make my exits from parties. Too many adoring media and photographers rushing me.”
Most interesting is how the MSM is going after her on this story, not soft peddling it one bit.
The MSM got its marching orders to take her down.

I miss Old Possum Hat! A meme-ers dream.
The Democrat stop AOC machine goes into action
Didn’t take long what ? one month
She is a threat to the Dems which is why they are taking her out. Her speech about campaign contribution influence did not sit well, added to the view she is going to cost them the election.
In other words, they did not gain any morals in going after her. It is purely self preservation on the part of the Dems.
Lots of laughs watching our two tiered justice system in action.
Trump’s UPS delivery guy will be jailed for handing him a package containing a book by Roger Stone. Due to that the guy was “linked to the Trump crimes.”/s
Nancy waited 8 long years to get that gavel back.
She’s not enjoying the Puerto Rican Princess’ act.
Truth - this potentially is their own deep state action.
Beam me up!
Clearly, AOC is a loose cannon that Nancy Pelosi will not abide.
This means she really is a corrupt socialist and not a Rush Limbaugh operation chaos plant?
Let’s do it! The PR Princess would be really popular in the big house.
