The campaign of New York Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her former chief of staff failed to report over $1 million in expenses according to recently released Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. A two-year investigation found that AOC’s former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, funneled $1 million through two political action committees, Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats.
According to The Washington Examiner:
“The FEC has gone after a whole host of people whose violations are dwarfed by the scale of this scheme,” Paul Kamenar, the attorney for the NLPC, said in a statement to the outlet. “It appears to be not prosecutorial discretion, but prosecutorial favoritism.”
The NLPC’s complaint claims that Chakrabarti funneled the money through two political action committees into two organizations, according to the outlet. The money transferred might have been in violation of the $5,000 limit for donations to federal candidates, according to the complaint.
The FEC investigation revealed that the two PACs “did not properly disclose the purpose of the disbursements” to the shell companies.
In response to the findings, the NLPC filed a lawsuit against the federal election integrity organization for failing to provide a reason for dismissing its complaint, according to the outlet.
“It was highly irregular for the FEC to release its statement of reasons after the deadline for us to file suit,” Tom Anderson, the director for the NLPC’s Government Integrity Project, told the outlet.
The FEC’s findings come more than 30 days after the agency voted to dismiss the complaint against Ocasio-Cortez
wpDiscuz
Rules don’t apply to socialist demorats.
What, AOC and her staff possibly helped themselves to some money? I’m shocked, SHOCKED! (On second thought, she can probably get away with it, by claiming stupidity as a defense.
Ho Hum, another corrupt sleazy democrat politician. Nothing to see here…
How much money does it take for a bar tender to get elected in a small borough of NYC? My guess is about $1000 if that much. Where did the other $999,999 go????
Dismissed the complaint of $1 million being laundered through shell companies? Only a Dem can get away with that. Corruption!!!

Look how much money the bidens have made selling American down the drain.
It is fine with me for AOC to remain a bird in the gilded cage, as long as she stays in her cage and far, far away from American politics.
What else would one expect from the corrupt justice and the demonrats?
So what ? Things don’t change in Washington nothing will be done and it will get put in the list of other issues that are illegal that never get resolved
