Report: Rashida Tlaib Paid Herself $17,500 in Campaign Funds Post-Election

[The Purge]

She’s a muslim, a female and, above all, a Democrat - a class, as we all have seen, which is above the law.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may be in hot water with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after she paid herself $17,500 in campaign funds following the 2018 midterm elections, according to a report.

Recent FEC filings show that the freshman Democrat lawmaker may have run afoul of campaign finance rules by making payments to herself after she ended her candidacy on Election Day.

According to FEC rules, a general election candidate can take a salary from his or campaign funds until the date of the election.

“If the candidate loses the primary, withdraws from the race, or otherwise ceases to be a candidate, no salary payments may be paid beyond the date he or she is no longer a candidate,” according to FEC rules.

But Tlaib’s FEC filings show that she dipped into her campaign coffers twice after the election, paying herself $2,000 on November 16 and $15,500 on December 1. The payments, which were all made weeks after the 2018 midterms ended, raised the question of whether Tlaib violated FEC statutes.

If she broke the law, she should suffer the consequences.

Maybe we should have a 2 year investigation because I don’t like her.

There is already a thread on this. Trump raises $100 million for his "inauguration", but you're focused on $17,500 that this woman hasn't explained.

No hypocrisy there.

Both should be prosecuted, and convicted, if they did something illegal.

Normally it's just a fine unless it reaches felony status and then is minimal if any...
