I'd like to see a copy of the FEC complaint.

So far, can't find it. Just the news reports.

Thank you.

I had looked at some of the FEC filings and was wondering why there were hardly any staff salaries for Brand New Congress.

This helps expalin it. They were funneling the expenditures through the LLC where it doesn't have to be itemizied.

Definitely something fishy about the way this was done. And why was a congressional candidate (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez) serving on a board of Justice Democrats?

Remember how she was touting her decision to pay every one of her staff at least $52,000?

And doing so by lowering the salaries of the senior staff?

Now we know how her chief of staff made up the difference - and more so - for the "pay cut."

Pretty sophisticated "organizing" for a rookie member of Congress and her staff.

All this is starting to make me wonder who is coaching this bunch?

Saikat Chakrabarti, one of the defendants. Check this guy’s resume. I think it’s safe to say he is likely the brains behind it. @beckyromero

He's a tech guy.

Not a politico.

WAS a tech guy and decided he wanted to become 21st century Che Guevara. @beckyromero

What I mean is that he doesn't have a political background to know how to navigate the FED, election laws, etc.

Which probably explains why he screwed up!
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Disagree. He’s clearly a smart guy. Very smart. Made millions and decided to shift to managing politics behind the scenes. This is a case of him showing that he suffers from smartest person in the room syndrome. @beckyromero

@jackjjackson

There are plenty of smart people in the U.S.

Doesn't mean they know cow dung about election law.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Of course not. However he seems to think he is quite clever and good as being a puppet master I recommend that you read about what he did between 2016-2018. @beckyromero

He represents what's really sleezy about the far, far left.

They adopt the same principles as the far, far right.

Trying to hide and funnel money, evade campaign contribution limits, etc.

Now you’re getting it. This guy is trouble. Big trouble. @beckyromero
