Top Democrat Operative Busted Funneling Nearly $2.4 Million From Soros-Funded Super PAC to Her Private Firm

A top Democrat operative from the dark money group behind the botched Iowa caucus app has been caught funneling nearly $2.4 million from the Super PAC she runs to her private firm.

The operative, Tara McGowan, has been caught moving money from her PAC to her private firm in the past, as well.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

“New disclosure forms show that PACRONYM, a super PAC affiliated with McGowan’s nonprofit ACRONYM—the dark money group behind the botched Iowa caucus app—spent close to $2.4 million on anti-Trump ads Wednesday night that will run in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The money was sent to a for-profit digital consulting firm, Lockwood Strategy Lab, which is also part of McGowan’s network.”

McGowan’s PAC had already sent nearly $1.5 million to ACRONYM for media buys against Trump and $400,000 for “digital consulting and survey research.”

In my mind the Feds should start by swooping in and shutting the entire operation down, and then taking all the money until an investigation can be done.

I agree.

Where is the FBI on this ?

They should be all over it like flies on dog sh*t.

The Hammer,House Speaker Tom DeLay faced jail time for much less , allegedly transferring replacement funds from an RNC account that allegedly had illegally gone out for a state purpose? Yet he won on his appeal to conviction years latter on a Texas money laundering charge.The crooked Dem “prostitutor” had to shop 3 grand juries to get an indictment. This situation looks like it would be open and shut prosecution.

*******************

“Mr. DeLay was convicted with two associates of funneling $190,000 in corporate contributions through the Republican National Committee to Republicans running for the State Legislature in 2002. The election had national implications: Mr. DeLay was looking to lock in Republican control of the Legislature as it prepared to redraw Congressional district lines.

And after that election, Republicans in Texas pushed through a redistricting plan that markedly changed the playing field in favor of Republicans, strengthening Mr. DeLay’s control in Washington.

This was the first time that prosecutors in Texas had attempted to use a money-laundering statute against a politician charged with trying to circumvent the state ban on corporate contributions that has been in place since 2003. Mr. DeLay never denied he engaged in the practices described in the indictment, but said they were common and legally accepted campaign practices.”

Only 2.4 million?
Why not a billion dollars?
There is no consequences so the sky is the limit.
Why not plot to overthrow the government?
I am surprise there are no concentration camps for “crazy people” who do not believe the state is all powerful.

Was just listening to El Rushbo talking about how Obama will NEVER be investigated, much less charged for his crimes “because we just don’t do that in this country”.

I found this reality to be both frightening as well as disgusting.

As long as WE permit the existence of a “Two Tier” justice system, we do NOT have a true Republic!

I personally don’t care about who one is, the color of their skin nor what job that they may have held. As the Commies are so fond of saying: “NO Man Is ABOVE The LAW!!!!”.

I know nothing will happen but a slap on the wrist legally because they have the DNC pass but what does happen when you steal from the Soros Mafia?

Democrats are the lowest form of life on this earth!

Many years before the 2016 election season began, I had taken a VERY strong dislike to Hillary Clinton.

In search of a pejorative term for her that I could use to describe her character and behavior, I somehow conjured up the term “venomous harridan,” which Merriam Webster’s defines thusly: venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger” and harridan = “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”

Somewhat later, I added “noxious” to my snarky thoughts about her: Merriam Webster’s definition of noxious: “harmful to living things: toxic”

Thus, Hillary Clinton became a noxious, venomous harridan; and, of course, she is a LIEberal in that she LIEs about most everything!

Well, now, I had a good working definition of Hillary as a “noxious, venomous, LIEberal harridan!” That is as complete a word picture as I could come up with to describe her character and her behavior.

I’m not done yet: I made the huge mistake one day of listening to a (VERY) brief portion of a Tim Kaine ad. I IMMEDIATELY took a strong dislike to him, and right away decided that he was the male version of a “noxious, venomous, LIEberal harridan!” And, he, like Hillary, was “screechy,” (as in VERY HARD to listen to) also!

So, the Democrats attempted to foist TWO “screechy, noxious, venomous, LIEberal harridans” on the American public.

I wasn’t satisfied with the term “harridan” for Mr. Kaine, so I consulted the Internet, seeking a word for the male version of a harridan. Turns out there is no such word.

In my search for a synonym, a fellow FReeper suggested “asshole!”

I consulted Mirriam Webster, and Lo and Behold! Asshole = “a bad, stupid, or annoying person.”

Tim Kaine is CERTAINLY one of those!

In the years since the 2016 election, I have come to the conclusion that most Democrats can be defined as “a bad, stupid, detestable or annoying persons!”

The modifiers “screechy, noxious, venomous, and LIEberal” can be added, but most of us understand what Democrats are, and they are understood without adding those modifiers.

At the appropriate place, and on the appropriate thread, of course!

1. I found this reality to be both frightening as well as disgusting.
2. As long as WE permit the existence of a “Two Tier” justice system, we do NOT have a true Republic!
3. I personally don’t care about who one is, the color of their skin nor what job that they may have held. As the Commies are so fond of saying: “NO Man Is ABOVE The LAW!!!!”.

.

1. I agree 100%

2. I agree 100%

3. Rich folks and connected folks have never had to "pay the piper." That includes every country in the world.

Also beautiful, well-build women get away with WAY too much because men won't do anything but drool.
However, all those beautiful, well-build women will age. They will get a zillion wrinkles, have awful hair and their beautiful face will look like the Wicked Witch of the West.
Additionally they WILL get fat: their hips will be bigger than a house. Their nickname will be "thunder-thighs" and their belly will obliterate ANY view of their privates.
SO they get to face the reality of age...in SPADES.

However, if they have CHARM they will survive because CHARM doesn't age.

Democrats are the lowest form of life on this earth!

Their leaders (senators, reps, governors, mayors, etc.) sure are. MOST democrats are just hard working stiffs who live their lives the way we all do.
To my way of thinking I can readily understand why there is so LITTLE voter turnout. Who wants to vote for the scumbags?

I DO think that we dodged a HUGE bullet when Hillary didn't "get her turn" to be POTUS. Whew!
