Rep. Duncan Hunter and his wife indicted in use of campaign funds for personal expenses

Rep. Duncan Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted Tuesday on charges related to the misuse of $250,000 worth of campaign funds for personal expenses and the filing of false campaign finance records.

The charges of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations and conspiracy were the culmination of a Department of Justice investigation that has stretched for more than a year, during which the Republican congressman from California has maintained his innocence.

Republican Party leaders had long worried that with a potential indictment looming, Hunter's traditionally safe district which makes up much of eastern San Diego County could be at risk of Democratic takeover in November's midterm election.

There is enough anger out here in middle America... these things may not bother many... the real criminals are still running the asylum.. and that’s what is making so many angry enough.

Someone said he had not decided if Manafort was a good man or not... and my reply is it doesn’t matter... as long as mueller is doing his witching and hillary is home free and the rest are not being even investigated... leave Manafort alone... whatever he did, may be for himself... the other bunch are going after citizens .. in the middle of the night.. and bankrupting them in a trial. Hoping the mueller bunch can shake enough juice off the tree to get Trump .. while THEY are the ones who belong in prison.

So bigbob, can you post a link showing a Deep State crooked Dem being charged in the past 6 years?

Didn’t think so.

Duncan was targeted because he was the 2nd Congressman to endorse Trump.

Rosenstein and Meewler’s efforts targeting Trump supporters is going to fail to remove Trump from office, and fail to sway the elections to the Dems in November. I see Rosenstein has about 4 months left before he gets fired.

It's really not a duplicate. When I searched for the article none had been posted yet. Somebody posted the FOX article 3 minutes before I posted the CNN article.

Socialist Bernie Sanders has 3 homes on a senators salary.
You bet he is spending his campaign funds on personal stuff.

Surely by now we are smarter than to turn on our own just because the rats say they are corrupt. Hopefully we have learned the rats lie, and the media swears to it.

If we have not yet learned that lesson there is no hope for us to turn things around.

It’s time for President Trump to take the gloves off and start turning the tables on the Democrats. Start by releasing all documents pertinent to the “Russia Collusion”. Number one dump Sessions and Rosenstein .

Is everyone in DC crooked? We need to clean house. I thought he was better than that.

And to everyone who says ‘but Hillary did worse’, doesn’t matter. My mom used to say ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’.

They railroaded Ted Stevens, who was later found to be innocent, so I'm not ready to condemn him yet.

The offices of Perkins & Coie is the perfect place for Rosenstein to go after he gets fired since they specialize in covering up Democrat party wrongdoings.
