Sacramento, Calif. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say in a court filing that Democratic campaign treasurer Kinde Durkee defrauded at least 50 candidates, officeholders and political organizations out of $7 million in a scheme that dates back more than a decade.
The U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento filed the new charges in federal court late Tuesday, providing the most detailed account to date in a case that has left some Democratic candidates scrambling for campaign cash in an election year.

Fraud sounds SO harsh. Call it an undocumented redistribution of campaign funds.

The headline is misleading.. makes it sound as if the
CA Treasurer was accused. This lady was a campaign operative not a constitutional officer of CA.
To: SmithL
I think of it more as “diversity”. She was apparently diversifying campaign funds into alternative investments where she perceived a greater opportunity to provide global solutions. Her intentions were nothing but forward looking, by the way.

You are correct, but California State Treasurer, Bill
Lockyer (D) has issues of his own.

The ugly hag needed the money to try to fix her face. Feel sorry for her and take pity on her plight.
Just another physically ugly liberal progressive trying to improve her self-esteem.
