2019.03.08 AOC Campaign Finance Scandal
AOC appears to have illegally diverted more than $1M of her campaign funds.

👮 Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti (Chief of staff, former campaign chair), appear to have obtained majority control of Justice Democrats PAC in December 2017, raised more than $1.8M (and was responsible for her win), and illegally diverted more than $1M of those funds. If AOC and Chakrabarti withheld their control of that organization from the FEC to divert funds around campaign limits, they could face jail time. Either way, this is the Dark Money that AOC ran on curtailing. All the FakeNews misrepresented or omitted context on what happened: CNN, ABC, NBC, WaPo, BI, MarketWatch and Snopes.
Archived copies of the Justice Democrats website reveal Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control over” the PAC starting in December 2017, and that Chakrabarti was one of its “major players” up until January 2019. And real journalists found that out and reported it. FakeNews didn't try, or tried to bury it. Either their own website was lying (and makes them guilty of fraud to deceive contributors), or AOC and Chakrabarti withheld this info. [1]
