Authorities arrested a California man Tuesday for allegedly setting up phony PACs and websites to raise money for Democrats.

Prosecutors charged John Pierre Dupont, 80, with wire fraud and identity theft, NBC News reported. He allegedly used $250,000 raised to pay personal expenses, including the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz.

Hmmm. Seems like standard ops for dems. Promises made, promises dropped.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

IOW, he’s the PERFECT democrat.

[ifinnegan]

Should have given $5K to each of them.

Ah, it’s not like he’s gonna serve a 30 year term :)

[Steely Tom]

Yup, the perfect example of a normal left-wing socialist, except not quite bright enough to know he needs to kick something upstairs, like they do in the Mafia.

And he’s from California too! Rounds out the package perfectly.

Obviously Russian Collusion.

Maybe he had a quarter-million-dollar Beto bumper sticker on the rear bumper for the Mercedes. Minus the cost of the Mercedes, that is.

The rest could have been called overhead and misc expenses. :-)

The gangster in me secretly hopes I’d still be up to doing something like this (without getting caught) when I’m 80 :)

[BenLurkin]

How very....Clinton Foundation of him.

[wastoute]

Those people who donated wanted to feel good about it. They did. So where is the fraud?

[rktman]

I thought it indicated a 22 year term. So he’d be 102 if he started now. No biggie. And Big Louie probably won’t be too interested either.

lol

[glennaro]

Could be that he was the valedictorian at the HRC School of Ethics

[dp0622]

That the money came from dem supporters should cut 10 years off the sentence :)

[rktman]

Looks dam good for being 80.

[Baynative]

I thought Hillary proved there is no law against defrauding democrat contributors.

[Red Badger]

The rent too damn high!........................

[shotgun]

Reminiscence of AOC’s campaign. Feds haven’t arrested her yet.

[DannyTN]

He’s more than perfect.

If we had an army of people like him, we could divert the funding from the democrats.

I wonder if it is illegal if you target overseas contributions which themselves would be illegal?
