    I was getting worried for the GOP's favorite lucky charm w/ those campaign finance violations... What a relief that they are "bogus", lol... :)



    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and her campaign manager ran a “subsidy scheme,” according to a new Federal Election Commission complaint that alleges they abused campaign finance laws to illegally fund the campaign.

    The complaint, which was obtained by Fox News before its filing Wednesday, claims Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, her campaign manager, used PAC money funneled through an LLC to “subsidize cheap assistance for Ocasio-Cortez and other candidates at rates far below market value.”

    The complaint alleges Chakrabarti’s group Brand New Congress LLC, which took on Ocasio-Cortez on as a client, was charging clients under market value and subsidizing losses with PAC money; therefore, providing candidates who signed on to the LLC with illegal campaign contributions.

    If the money isn't foreign in origin, I am not really concerned.

    Almost all politicians who run for federal government office violate campaign law to some extent. Some are better than others at hiding it.

    If she was taking foreign cash in any way, I would throw the book at her.
