Rosie O’Donnell made illegally over-sized campaign donations to at least five Democratic federal candidates, according to a Post analysis of campaign filings.
The liberal comedian has regularly broken Federal Election Commission rules limiting the total any one person can give to an individual candidate at $2,700 per election. The limit applies separately to primaries, runoffs and general elections.
“Nothing nefarious,” the outspoken star and Donald Trump arch-nemesis wrote in an email to the Post. “I was not choosing to over donate.
“If 2700 is the cut off — [candidates] should refund the money,” she wrote. “I don’t look to see who I can donate most to … I just donate assuming they do not accept what is over the limit.”
O’Donnell said she donates often, and uses the online liberal fundraising platform ActBlue. “My anxiety is quelled by donating to those opposing trump [and] his agenda — especially at night — when most of these were placed.”
Alabama Sen. Doug Jones disclosed $4,700 from O’Donnell in his special general election bid last year against former GOP judge and accused child molester Roy Moore, his campaign filings show. Jones’ office didn’t return messages seeking comment.
Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb reported $3,600 from O’Donnell for the special general election he won in a March upset, his filings show. He’s now running for a full two-year term in a different congressional district in November, and O’Donnell put up another $1,000 for that bid.
Lamb’s campaign manager said they will notify O’Donnell of her error and inform her that the extra $900 can be refunded or put toward the primary.

Laws are for the little people, not celebrities. Move along.
Rosie is over the limit period.
Wait, what did Desusa (spelling?)go to prison for? One count and now here’s rosie with five counts? Equal justice indeed!
““Nothing nefarious,” the outspoken star...wrote in an email to the Post. “I was not choosing to over donate.”
“Filings show O’Donnell gave a combined $5,400 in contributions over the limit to the five candidates, and used five different New York addresses and four variations of her name.”
Sounds like the second quote from the story shows some STRUCTURING going on, to get around the limits - a FELONY, basically no different from what Dinesh was convicted for.
Let’s see if justice is really ‘blind’ in this case.
She’s definitely over the 3 tons per axle spring brakup limits around here.
“I was not choosing to over donate.”
“I just can’t count.”
Lock her up.
No joke. This stuff has got to stop.
Put her in the graybar fat farm.
What’s the point of rules, regulations and laws if liberals regularly violate them without penalty? Wow, the amount over the limit will be donated to another liberal cause - that’s the penalty? The damage has been done, giving more than should be allotted and the election is over. Rosie should be made to do jail time!
Not too worry, Sessions knows she’s over the legal limit, so he can’t land her.
Rosie O’Donutstuffer should be in jail
Please no pics of this turd. I’m going to bed and don’t want nightmares. I’m skeered.
O’Donnell has gotten away with a lot of stuff recently. Being a celebrity comes with a lot of perks.
When can she expect a raid by the Feds?
so she gets drunk at night and donates ... so what? ... she’s still breaking the law ... and has now admitted she’s done it knowingly ... I really hope she’s held accountable ...
Well since sheheit mostly made them at night to make herhimitself feel better hesheit wont get the same sentence as Dhinesh!
