And the DemonRAT CORRUPTION AND CRIME continues to flow....this will probably the only article you will read about this... if a Republican this would be worth a week of media headlines!
LAS VEGAS - Democratic Senate Majority Leader Kelvin Atkinson wept as he resigned from the Nevada Legislature during Tuesday's Senate floor session.
He said he let himself and his family down and he was "truly sorry" for his actions.
He is accused of misusing campaign funds and plans to plead guilty to federal charges.

Meanwhile in Republican land.....
?
This is why I have ZERO respect for Trump sycophants....
How soon you idiots want to pretend that a sitting US congressman and his wife didn't get indicted for illegal use of campaign funds -- a charge with the congressman blamed on his wife, because that is what depraved Republicans do....
Oh, and republicans still re-elected him despite being indicted....so please spare me any bullshit about about AOC's staffer....
Duncan Hunter and his wife indicted for using campaign funds for personal expenses - CNNPolitics
Seems AMERICANS REELECTED HIM....HE DIDNT ADMIT ANYTHING AS THE DeathRAT did!
AOC was indicted?
Link?
You know, like the link I just posted about a sitting US congressman being indicted for the same shit you allege AOC is guilty of, despite ZERO proof...
You know how proof works right? It's when people like Trump's campaign manager and deputy campaign manager get convicted on felonies -- and you Trumpers insist that its no big deal because it didn't have to do with Trump...
Then Trump's own attorney gets convicted on a felony to which Trump is a co-conspirator -- but you Trumpers say "so what?" -- but yea, AOC, she needs to go jail for something
An FEC complaint says AOC and her COS diverted $1 million dollars in campaign contributions to her own pocket .....
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the Brand New Congress PAC, and,
<><> Justice Democrats PAC.
Then Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the Brand New Campaign LLC, and,
<><> the Brand New Congress LLC.
Saikat Chakrabarti's private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
Keep in mind it is a common criminal act to open bank accounts using similarly named entities as Chakrabarti did.
It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by depositing checks in the new accounts with similar names that were made out to the original entity.
Even your bank will advise you that if the check-writer "mis-spelled" your name.....to just endorse the check with the correct name.
==========================================
ANALYSIS ---
Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.---SNIP---SOURCED FROM FR.
===================================
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?
==================================
Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor "Stripe".........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.
Saikat Chakrabarti was....wait for it....... Bernie's Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.
So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti's tech skills musta come in mighty handy when
donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC
and ended up in Hillary's account. Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.
Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti the tech whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie's tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?
