Democrat John Hickenlooper Charged with Violating Ethics Laws
Breitbart ^ | June 05 2020 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 06/05/2020 10:52:35 PM PDT by knighthawk

The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission (IEC) charged former Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) with violating state ethics laws.

The ethics commission ruled that Hickenlooper, a U.S. Senate candidate, violated state ethics laws when he allowed large corporations to cover the cost of a private jet trip to Connecticut, a Maserati limousine ride, as well as several elegant dinners in 2018.

The commission ruled unanimously that Hickenlooper violated Colorado’s gift ban in June 2018 when he attended secretive Bilderberg meetings in Italy. Hickenlooper paid a fee of $1,500, believing that covered the cost of the hotel, limousine, meals, and other expenses. The event’s sponsor, Fiat-Chrysler, said the $1,500 fee did not cover the limousine rides.

If he’s from a deep blue district he’ll still win come election time.

We’re dealing with people who are like the Manson family.

The headline is misleading. He wasn't charged, he was convicted. "The commission ruled unanimously that Hickenlooper violated Colorado’s gift ban in June 2018 ..."

"The commission will meet on June 12 to decide what penalties the former governor will face for the two ethics violations."

Bad on Breitbart.

Yeah, the gift ban. 1500.00$ The real crime is that Hickenlooper used 911 federal dollars to pay a high priced lawyer to do a bunch of legal work for him. So the Dems convict him of $1500.00 oh Gee I guess I goofed, sorry about that and the 911 fund dollars are never mentioned. It is like Al Capone did win the Illinois election.

Excellent! Hickenlooper is one of the most effective leftists at gun grabbing. Even without prison (or more), which he richly deserves, this is a step in the right direction.

Yep, flew over there and no one knew where he had gone. He was being vetted for compliance.
