AOC under investigation already

The cash transfers from the PACs — overseen by Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman socialist Democrat's chief of staff — run counter to her pledges to increase transparency and reduce the influence of "dark money" in politics.

Tom Anderson, director of the National Legal and Policy Center's Government Integrity Project, said: "It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws: transparency."

Chakrabarti, 33, is a Harvard graduate and technology entrepreneur who became an organizer for Bernie Sanders during the socialist's 2016 presidential campaign.

He founded a PAC called Brand New Congress in 2016 and another called Justice Democrats in 2017, with the stated goal of helping elect progressive candidates to Congress. One of those candidates was Ocasio-Cortez,


in further news her mother moved to florida to avoid high NY taxes.  lots on lies in her interview.  She stated twice that AOC couldn't wait to show off her brain power once she got into school.  much doesn't make sense where the money came from for AOC to go to a 100k college while the mother was improvised after the father died, etc., etc.
and the mother clearly states AOC only lived in the bronx when she was one yr old and then they moved. AOC campaigned she was a poor girl from the bronx. LAIR!!

Don't know enough about this to comment on AOC but if her Mom moved to CA to avoid NY taxes, one should probably be concerned about her good judgement.   Then again,  don't know anything about her Mom.   Is she a Progressive also?    If so, she'll fit right in with SF communities.

article gives town she moved to.  said AOC wasn't raised to be a socialist since that is not who PRs are.

I just added the link to mother's interview. I left it out by mistake.

very strange this little girl was serving drinks a year ago and now she is the star of the democrat party and In Congress.  totally bizarre.

I hear this and similar things from conservatives a lot these days. No doubt she is getting plenty of coverage, especially from the right wing press. But make no doubt about it she is far from the star of the Democrat Party. The Grand Dame has still got that sewed up.

I am pretty sure that the core of law is based on intent...Precedent may be used to define how an indictment moves forward if past court decisions are pertinent to the case at hand. The judge is in the wheelhouse, and will decide whether previous judgements apply, and then if defense files a chain of motions for appeal.... ..... .... ...by that time Ivanka will be president.

Yup not even her own party accepts or likes her, she is a threat to their already evil ways.......in fact she is in many forms worse. She was voted in for all the wrong reasons, surely you realize that?

She was voted in because the people in her district wanted her. Just like the people in Iowa’s district voted Steve King in. Democracy. Surely you realize that ?

because she lied where she grew up, she moved out of the bronx when she was one yr old and got a lot of illegals to vote for her. she pandered to abolish ICE as well provide free health care to all including the illegals.  and all of those illegals did not speak english yet she speaks spanish and the white guy she defeated did not.  

And she ran unopposed, all she had to do was beat the sitting democrat to get on the ballot.
The Justice Democrat organization recruited her. they did their home work the best place for her to run to get their Fifth Column UN Member in. The JDs support the green deal which is the UN 2030 Agenda. this is where she got her 12yrs from

I understand that, and there's no way I'd shed a tear for her if she were attacked by flesh-eating virus, but I still hope someone dropped a dime on her, not a witch hunt. As for reverse accusations, this may easily be yet another probe by established Democrat leadership

I'm not sure if they are running scared, or if they just need somebody to hate. I think they are exhausted from hating Pelosi for years. It's time to move on to new blood.

[Serk]

Yup, utterly terrified..... PLEASE don't make her the face of the Democrat party, whatever you do....

Whatever you do, please don't throw me in that briar patch!

[Moonshot_1]

Clearly, AOC is Constitutionally qualified and was properly voted into office by the voters of her district.

What is also clear is that things are so far over her head she can't see reality with a telescope. To put her on any committee is insane. She has no real world experience in anything.

Democrats are letting her and other freshman congresswomen out on a long leash to woo the Progressive voter.

It will likely implode the Party. This is insanity on top of insanity.

and isn't she nice, "run train" is slang for Gang Bang.

[Alberta Patriot]

Improving the World even slightly would be a monumental task even by a collection of the most brilliant minds, but any uninitiated fool with a bit of new found power can certainly make it worse as evidenced by the half baked uninformed twaddle this girl trots out including the anti semitism that she and some her new compatriots are vomiting out..

I haven't paid enough attention to the context of what she said to have an opinion, just googled up the street meaning of that phrase.

Frankly, I wish more on "my side" would pay less attention to that twit... Although her being held up as the new leader of the Democrat party can be nothing but a positive for those of us fighting the forces of evil.

 Scared of that twit? Hardly. If the dems keep listening to her with her socialist ajenda they will never win the whitehouse again. The majority of Americans DON'T want socialism in this country. The rest have no idea what socialism is. They only hear what AOC and Ol Berney tell them how the rich need to pay their fare share and free everything.

Never underestimate the big demographic shift to Gen Xers and Millennials, and how deep this new generation of socialist leaning progressive voters may dive. AOC even has Nancy concerned.
You got Slick Bill for two terms, who BTW was still very popular with the "in" crowd even with the news of his long train of "willing and unwilling sperm recipients" with rumors of an even bigger list on Epstein’s private Caribbean island.
Granted George '41' slipped up with the "read my lips" thing and the minor vote split with Ross Perot, but Bill still got his second term even with the Whitewater "investigation" that started hitting the news 2 years into his first term. Not Going with any opinions Re: Hussein...that is not territory I am willing to wade into.
It's not helping that a number of Republicans in the senate are acting like a bunch of RINO's over Trump's border emergency.
Man....The Dems stick together like gorilla glue....WTF is with the Republicans???
They might want to start playing Trump style hardball politics instead of acting like it's guided by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.

She should be getting plenty of press from the left wing press too... the Wednesday
congressional censure of certain member's antisemitism has been shut down by
the AOC-aligned democrats until it can be watered down to meaningless drivel...

[Gavin_Sons]

I enjoy watching her bring the Democrats to their knees.  This woman will single handedly ruin the Democrats.  She is one of the most ignorant people I have ever heard speak. To the point it is amusing to watch. From bartender running trains to a government official. And yes, she worked in a bar, she knows what running a train is, has probably done a few herself.

Maybe, I suspect Pelosi still controls her caucus.

[bagelboy]

I think with her ideology she won't last long. However, she did win fair and square. The press gives her coverage because of her Socialistic views. It makes news! I don't think Republicans have anything to worry about. The Dems will eventually eat her up and spit her out. It's a dog eat dog world in Washington. She's in way over her head!
