“Rubio made notes on what he spent on personal expenses, and reimbursed the GOP in full every month when the bill came in. It doesn’t sound very scandalous to me.”

Sorry but he didn’t reimburse the GOP. He said he paid it directly to AMEX and has not produced any records to prove it.
There are also serious questions about political action committees he set up with most of the money donated going to “expenses” and salaries (including family members) with very little going to the candidates.
Give a minute and I will see if I can find the link for the document of research.

Amntn, I agree with you that there is something about this which does not pass the smell test. An accountant auditing this would insist upon supporting documentation and demand to see the accounting for all the expenditures related to these credit card charges...and that would include a breakdown of ALL debits and credits and documentation explaining each item as well as a proper “reconciliation”.
As to those who say “if the Florida Republican Party was OK with this, I’m OK with it”, they should know that Rubio, in a very real sense, WAS the Republican Party.
Well I do not want to pick a fight but:
A. IT WAS A GOP card!- not a govt. account-
B. Certain expenses are COMPLETELY allowable -
Such as BUYING your wife an airplane ticket-
C. If he added more to that card and paid it who Cares?
If he did not pay it - WHO Cares!
gee- anybody checking Hitlery’s GRAFT?!
THE MSM has really had to dig low - to get to Carson-now Rubio- Cruz will be next.... clearing the way for the Jebster
Doubtful. It would just be marked as a personal expense. When I had a work CC, this was an option if you used the corporate card. I'm in consulting so we rack up a lot of charges and I can see that some might use it for personal expenses. (I've always used my personal CC so that I get the points.) Different organizations have different policies. Governmental bodies tend to be the most strict with corps. having different levels of strictness.
