A charity led by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) in 2018 illegally campaigned in support of Democrat Stacey Abrams's failed Georgia gubernatorial campaign that year, the group admitted before state authorities on Wednesday.
Warnock was the chairman of the New Georgia Project when the charity and its affiliated dark-money group engaged in a full-bore effort to elect Abrams in 2018, the groups admitted during a hearing Wednesday. The charity, which Abrams founded in 2014 and from which she stepped away just before running for governor, effectively operated as an arm of her campaign that year, managing at least 10 field offices across the state to engage in direct voter contact in support of Abrams, said David Emadi, the executive director of Georgia's ethics commission.
The New Georgia Project, which Abrams founded in 2014, racked up a hefty $3.2 million bill campaigning for the Democrat's failed 2018 campaign, spending that it didn't report to the state, as required by Georgia law. The charity admitted to violating 16 state laws when it was under Warnock's leadership and agreed to pay a $300,000 fine, according to a consent order released Wednesday...
"Stacey Abrams's nonprofit finally admitted what they've been accused of for years: They used charitable dollars to aid her failed gubernatorial campaign," Sutherland told the Washington Free Beacon. "While this $300,000 state violation is a great first step, New Georgia Project should also be investigated on the federal level, which would help determine the extent of Senator Warnock's involvement while he led the organization."

Both Abrams and Warnock are crooked loudmouthed racist lying bigots and belong on the same chain gang. Just the two of them.
“Charity”
There is nothing illegal about this...if you’re a democrat. Right?
Election interference
Mail Fraud
Money laundering
I’m sure Fat Fani will be charging both of them sometime today...
Who shined the light on this? They need credit.

I’d add Fani Willis and her boyfriend.

I think they should add another zero or two to the amount.

Good thing they didn’t illegally campaign for Trump. They would have been fined millions of dollars and all of their New Yawk Yankees souvenirs.
Stolen elections have consequences.
The problem that we have here is the lack of balancing of the scales of justice.
A fine? Really,
To set things right my idea is to back it up time wise to 2021 and install the right ones. Negate negate negate.
Okay. So absolutely no harm to the perpetrators of this crime.
“Trump DOJ, please pick up on line 1”
Everybody who signed off on $$ donations needs to go to County for a few weeks. Without going after the scumbags personally nothing will change. Fines just enrich the gov’mt.
Nice touch!

They stole from the charity. However, the charity pays the fine with funds that are supposed to go to charity. The perps get off scott free. Why were they not prosecuted? If I worked in a bank and embezzled 300 thousand dollars, I would be prosecuted and jailed.
