Maya Rockeymoore’s charity paid over $250,000 in “management fees” to her own for-profit consulting firm between 2013 and 2015, according to audited financial reports for the foundation published by the Daily Caller on Thursday. The payments were made by Rockeymoore’s foundation, the Center for Global Policy Solutions, to her consulting firm, Global Policy Solutions. The two entities also had a cost-sharing agreement in which the foundation covered its own expenses related to any joint projects.

IRS law prohibits insiders at nonprofit groups from self-dealing, or using foundation money for their own personal financial benefit. Tax records of nonprofit charities such as Rockeymoore's are public and are supposed to be made available for viewing.

News of the payments, which experts said raise legal questions about self-dealing at the charity, came after the Washington Examiner reported that Rockeymoore’s foundation had received millions of dollars from corporations and special interest groups with business before her husband’s committee.

According to the complaint, Global Policy Solutions and the Center for Global Policy Solutions appeared to have overlapping operations, and the arrangement may have been used to derive “illegal private benefit.” The complaint asked the IRS to investigate the “shared leadership,” “integrated operations,” and “shared address and physical facilities” of her two companies. Rockeymoore’s nonprofit group and the LLC have mutual clients, donors and projects, and were located at the same address and share a phone number.

Pay-to-play, baybee. Everyone is doing it - and no one goes to prison!

With corrupt Cummings, you never know when he’s coming or rocking. Neither does his wife.

Who does she think she it, Mrs. John (”I’m in jail”) Conyers Jr.?

“Scrutiny deepens”? Didn’t scrutiny already deepen last week?
