Ocasio-Cortez and her puppet-master Chakrabarti Scandal #2: A million bucks is unaccounted for

Money raised from donors by two political action committees (at least one of them problematic) was mysteriously "transferred" to two private corporations (LLCs) controlled by Saikat Chakrabarti, the founder of Justice Democrats, the group that recruited, trained, and ran the campaign that got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez elected to Congress.  There is no record of those private corporations providing services in exchange for the donations, which raises the question of what was done with this money.

Alana Goodman writes in The Examiner:

Two political action committees founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's top aide funneled over $1 million in political donations into two of his own private companies, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.

The cash transfers from the PACs — overseen by Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman socialist Democrat's chief of staff — run counter to her pledges to increase transparency and reduce the influence of "dark money" in politics.

Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used.

The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

This might be the weapon for AOC to be eliminated by Democrats sick of her.

[DainBramage]

Dems are taking her down.

[Buckeye McFrog]

At the end of the day nobody but Thomas Lifson is going to care.

[mastertex]

Does anyone really have to ask where the money went???

[ArtDodger]

She will plead ignorance... And the media won’t remember she has a degree in economics..

Nickname for the two: Momo and the Nazi.

She’ll get a few Tattoos to show her prison mates she means business

[ifinnegan]

“Dems are taking her down.”

When this started coming out, I figured that’s what they’re doing.

Why is Adam Schiff in that pic?...........................

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Republicans should get on this like rabid pitbulls, and repeat it every damn day until she’s ejected from the Congress. Give them a taste of their own medicine. War is hell.

[Red Badger]

She will plead ignorance.......and nobody will disagree......................................

Where are the conservative black ladies Diamond and Silk?

Rolling Stone prefers LEFT-WING women to shape our future I see.

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the Brand New Congress PAC, and,
<><> Justice Democrats PAC.
Then Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000 Plus in contributions received by the PACs to his rivae companies:
<><> the Brand New Campaign LLC, and
<><> the Brand New Congress LLC --
Saikat Chakrabarti's private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

ANALYSIS --- Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group. Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.---SNIP---SOURCE FR.

===================================

BACKSTORY Oh, wait.....AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, is a tech wiz.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool, and then (B) built up the product team at the payment processor Stripe.........
(C) he then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.

So...... Chakrabarti's tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC
and ended up in Hillary's account. Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.

<><> Chakrabarti did find out about the tech theft, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie about it, didnt he?

<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?

ANALYSIS---notice the similarity in names. This is a well-known criminal scam in business.
Opening bank accounts in similar names to siphon off money from a business, or a partner, for oneself.

EXACTLY!

This has the look of a little “kneecapping” by Pelosi. This won’t amount to much except to remind her of her place.

Pelosi will make this “right” if she falls in line.

“Why is Adam Schiff in that pic?...........................”

Funny.

It’s Momo, aka Alexandria Occasio-Cortex.
