Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 by paying herself a salary from her campaign after securing victory in the 2018 general election, the House Ethics Committee unanimously ruled on Friday.
The Ethics committee found that Tlaib violated FECA’s personal use restrictions by paying herself $10,800 from her campaign when she was no longer a congressional candidate in late 2018 and ordered her to repay that amount back to her campaign within one year, the committee said in a report.
The committee “determined that the evidence is sufficient to support a determination that a portion of the salary payments that Representative Tlaib received after the 2018 general election was inconsistent with the requirements outlined by [FECA] and its implementing regulations,” the report read.
“The Committee also recognizes, however, that Representative Tlaib’s violation of the applicable restrictions was one of bad timing and not ill intent,” the committee added. “Representative Tlaib engaged in good faith efforts to comply with the relevant FECA requirements.”
The Ethics committee noted that it did not find any evidence that Tlaib sought to “unjustly enrich herself by receiving the campaign funds at issue.”
The ruling was issued three days after Tlaib secured victory over her Democratic challenger in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday.
Candidates for federal office like Tlaib are allowed to pull a salary from their campaign as long as it is no more than the amount they made the prior year, according to the Federal Election Commission. Candidate campaign salaries may also continue until the date of the candidate’s general election, the FEC adds.

I say let her keep the money-if she promises to get plastic surgery
So..... slap on the wrist? Fine? Expulsion? FMG? (Hey, its not my culture...)
I don’t understand. How can this be true? She’s a Democrat!! Please stop posting lies like this.
Her district is chock full of arab muslims. It’s not Michigan in general.
Awww, see? Nothing to see, here.
Taiubby can’t do “timing”, yet.
Her bizzie practicing her “sedition by treason” manual.
It means that if you are a member of "The Club" you have no worries about silly little ethics charges or other felonies.
If the headline read “Rep. Rashida Tlaib robs bank in downtown Detroit, kills four” ... people would still say “ho hum”. Until any of us see INDICTMENTS and CONVICTIONS, headlines like these are just digital waste matter.
What a frikkin' joke.
“The Committee also recognizes, however, that Representative Tlaib’s violation of the applicable restrictions was one of bad timing and not ill intent,”

"The ruling was issued three days after Tlaib secured victory over her Democratic challenger in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday."
“...ordered her to repay that amount back to her campaign within one year...”
This’ll go down a rabbit hole within 6mos.
She’s a democrat - she’ll get a pass.
YOU DOUBT?
Democrat thugs burn down cities, loot stores, tried to kill police officers by barricading the doors - attempting to burn them alive in a trapped biding.
AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO THEM.
Two right wingers used CHALK on a sidewalk (YES, “chalk” - the stuff the rain washes off) saying ‘black baby’s lives matter’ AND THEY WERE ARRESTED.
That’s what passes for ‘law’ in the United States today.
LMAO!!! Tlaib will write the check to her campaign then the campaign will turn around and pay her husband's firm the same amount.
Nice job Nancy and Teddy...
Hold this up until right after the Michigan Primary vote...
Release late on Friday...
These people are scum...
Did they send her a strongly worded letter? That should learn her.
The "laws" they create don't apply to them.
Although this was dropped three days after her primary, this was a clear warning shot across the bow by her own kind. The powers that be are saying fall in line or else. Yes it is a demoncrat committee, but as a member of “the Squad” they would be willing to throw her under the bus in a heartbeat, as they would with any demoncrat who flouts the party’s ideas. Demoncrats throw a bone out every now and then but it is usually because the bones are not more than scraps that have no further use for the party. As I said this was a warning shot, did the “M-f’er” Tlaib get the message? Is the real question.
Time for the FEC to go after AOC and her hubby. Past time.
Ironically, the HOUSE announced that my Rep, Schweikert, had plead guilty to 11 Erthics violations, right before the Primary. i really like him but the Am Central website mentioned that , in his Primary he had pled guilty, etc. They did mention that the woman who will be running against him doesn’t live in the District, but that is all they said about her. She also is no longer a practicing Doctor and sits on some sort of Board that has to do with Healthcare in AZ. She is e PROPONENT of Socialized Medicine. Will we even hear that in the upcoming campaign? She also has over a million dollars in her ‘warchest’ and Schweikert has about 1/4 of that amount of money. The Republican Party Isn’t supporting him and he IS our Primary candidate. There was an article in our local paper that said he is calling this announcement unconscionable as the matter could have been finished last year......but the DeMs held it until it could be of more use to them. I hope Dr Hiral Tipirneni meets with some misfortune as she is, like all Dems, slimy at best.
