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.

Frankly, I don’t know one way about the validity of the charges (I hope for his sake they are false). I’m disturbed at how many Trump supporters are being targeted by the corrupt and evil Deep State.

Should have listened to his parents and cut that bitch loose.

She ‘hints’ at abuse to the media, viola she gets the campaign credit card. Worse than Bob McDonnell’s ex.

>One of the charges Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to was “Campaign Finance Fraud.”

He was never in the campaign, nor did he use campaign funds.

Regardless, they have been indicted and unless the evidence is fabricated, they should be prosecuted. We cannot be hypocritical.

First Chris Collins and now this. It looks like the Democrats plan to indict their way to victory.

The Ted Stevens strategy.

BTW, do you know who was in charge of the Stevens investigation? Robert Mueller.

And all Mark Foley did was invite a page (over 18 male) to lunch.

Such is the double standard.

In all other ways that count, Foley was a reliable conservative vote.

Hopefully, Duncan Hunter can fight this and survive.

??? There are NO republiturds brave enough to say boo, let alone wage war. All the ball-less wonders have had almost 2yrs to produce NOTHING!!
I think they hate this country as much as democrats, since they sit idly by and watch Trump and Country, and good people get torched
Republicans-ever the minority part. They make me sick with very few exceptions

iirc, Rep Charlie Rangel had offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. Did Mr. Rangel go to prison? Ohhh, he’s a Democrat....

Wasn’t Wasserman-Schultz’ buddy Awan guilty of bank fraud......did he go to prison? Ohhh, he’s best buds with Dems....and, may have some dirt on Dems...so no prison for him!

Would NEVER have imagined our justice system & FBI were so blatantly biased. Pres Trump exposed the depth of the media bias and the bias within our own government....and, imho, that’s why they want to bring him down. Sad and scary.

Bill and Al committed campaign finance fraud six times before 9:00 am. Remember Charlie Trie? John Huang? James Riady? The Buddhist Monks? Al Gore drinking too much ice tea? Hillary laundered millions through the Clinton Foundation. Paid for Chelsea’s wedding. Yeah, boy the shit really hit the fan with those things, didn’t it? (——NOT!)
