Ocasio-Cortez, chief of staff illegally moved $885K in campaign contributions 'off the books,' FEC complaint alleges

Looks like Ms Polly Perfect has an ethics problem in her office. And wasn't she railing against this very thing? Is this the good part of socialism we've heard so much about, transparency?
What is the FEC for if not to investigate/enforce election related laws? Relying on legislators to enforce the laws is as goofy (and counter to the Constitution) as relying on the executive to allocate funding.
She doesn't have an office ethics problem, she has an ethics problem. She's just as culpable as he is in this.
By the liberal standard, however, she's only really been an adult for 3 years.She’s developed. She’s a 29-year old Congressman.

The complaint was drafted by the conservative, Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC). Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti, according to the NLPC's complaint, appeared to have "orchestrated an extensive off-the-books operation to make hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenditures in support of multiple candidates for federal office."
The funds, the NLPC writes, were likely spent on campaign events for Ocasio-Cortez and other far-left Democratic candidates favored by Chakrabarti, who made his fortune in Silicon Valley and previously worked on Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. But no precise accounting for the expenses is available, and the complaint asks the FEC to conduct an investigation into the matter immediately.
The thing is, the legislators CAN'T enforce election related laws. They don't have the power.
But they can investigate and apply punishment to one of their own House members.
There's also the revelation that AOC's boyfriend was paid by her PAC or LLC, so she knows about this shell game.

I'm confused. What was illegal here? It says large financial transactions from PACs to LLCs are not (illegal?) but the intent of the transactions were? Why would one intend to do it illegally if it could be done in a lawful manner? I'm definitely not in favor of millionaires taking money out of PACs, but why would one even presume that she knew anything improper was taking place? Aren't candidates, by law, prohibited from directing how money from PACs is used or having any direct communication with them? So following that logic, Ocasio-Cortez would be guilty of a crime by simply knowing about these transactions, but it looks like there's no proof she had that knowledge, correct?
So why are all the replies about Ocasio-Cortez? Do you want to blame Bernie Sanders for the DNC being corrupt, too? That's the game - guilt by association. Palling around with terrorists.
Cortez isn't above the law.
Something is fundamentally wrong with a process (system?) which requires spending many millions simply to apply for a (2 year) job that pays less than half a million. In her district, as in many, whoever wins the party primary will win the general election. Any campaign money raised after winning the primary is then basically up for grabs - having little (if any) effect on the general election outcome.

Edit: Oh, I get it.
She’s developed. She’s a 29-year old Congressman.
She is the leader of the Democrat Party, “The Boss”. “The future”.
She helped kill Amazon bringing jobs and billion to NY.
She created the New Communist Deal.
All this in 60-days.

Trump eliminated Obama’s legacy in 14-months. He’s decimated ISIS. NATO allies are ponying up. NK has stopped firing missiles over Japan. China is being brought to their knees. He’s got the economy roaring. The feckless, moronic Iran Deal has been scrapped. USMCA agreement. TPP trashed. Paris trashed.
Awesome
If only Obama was so incompetent, such an embarrassment... ROTFLOL.
How much would they spend to win power though? Its not about the paycheck, its about having power over other people. Getting rich at the same time is a bonus.
Yes she does need to get more sophisticated at breaking FEC law.
There were Russian hacking attempts before he made that sarcastic statement too. So what? Also Hillary says her server was never hacked.
This delineation does not make her above the law. Good grief.
It makes her guilty or innocent.
I don't agree with you about much.
Although large financial transfers from PACs to LLCs are not necessarily improper, the complaint argues that the goal of the "extensive" scheme was seemingly to illegally dodge detailed legal reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which are designed to track campaign expenditures.
...
A separate explanation posted by Justice Democrats last year cast the arrangement as above-board. "The ONLY way to do work for multiple candidates legally at this scale is to create an LLC and act as a vendor," the group said.
She isn't developed. Her timing needs a lot of work.
She’s developed enough to be a leader of the Democrat Partei.
A Goebbels Inspired Media Propagandists (GIMP) darling.
Her timing is perfect.
I LOVE HER.
She’s like Denis Kucinich... the rare Leftist who is willing to vomit the ideology straight... so everyone can see what a sick, twisted perversion it is.
It sounds like we can't know for sure what when on until a full and thorough investigation is conducted into her, her boyfriend, her campaign staff, and her family to include any and all possible crimes committed during or prior to her running for Congress.
She will no doubt welcome that level of scrutiny as it is the only way to clear her name.
This is the new normal, right TDS Squad?!
After all, if she doesn't have anything to hide...
