The New York Post reported that O’Donnell made the following contributions, exceeding the individual limit of $2,700 by a total of $5,400.

$4,700 to Alabama Sen. Doug Jones in the special general election against Roy Moore.

$3,600 to Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb for the special election he won in March.

$2,950 to California Rep. Adam Schiff for his primary congressional race.

$4,200 to Lauren Underwood, an Illinois congressional candidate, for her primary. (Note: when we searched the FEC individual contributor database, we found $2,700 are marked as going towards the primary campaign and $1,500 towards the general.)

$3,450 to Omar Vaid, a congressional candidate in Staten Island and Brooklyn, for his primary.

O’Donnell told the New York Post she did not deliberately exceed the limit.

“If $2,700 is the cut off — (candidates) should refund the money,” she said. “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 indeed broke FEC rules, but campaign finance experts told us this type of violation goes unpunished as long as there is no intent to deceive. The money can be refunded or redirected to the candidate’s next race.

According to Politicrap, it all boils down to how much money was contributed..........In Rosie’s case, while in violation, she gets a pass. But then again, she didn’t have the Obama machine looking to bust her.......

Per article: ‘The rather small amounts in excess of the limits, as well as the fact that O’Donnell made no effort to conceal the contributions’

Outright LIE. Rosie the Pig, used different names and addresses.
