Millennial Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Stalin (D-NY) could be in even bigger trouble than Jussie Smollett, who was just arrested by Chicago police for his fake hate-crime.
Yesterday, it was reported by multiple media outlets that AOC helped funnel $6,000 to her boyfriend during her campaign.
Today, we’ve learned those contributions were likely illegal.

And if not downright criminal, at the very least highly unethical.

Remember Luke Thompson? He’s the guy we told you about last week whose account was locked by Twitter after he started asking questions about why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend has an official House email account.
The MSM blew Thompson off, as did AOC’s Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakr.

But Thompson, not satisfied with the excuses offered up by AOC’s office, kept digging and found that a liberal Super PAC paid AOC’s boyfriend $6000 during the campaign at a time when the campaign was deeply in debt.
Oh, and the payments are possibly illegal.
All of this could be illegal:
.@saikatc funneling money to Roberts – who @AOC says is her spouse – is unethical and maybe illegal. And AOC didn’t disclose this income, and didn’t claim Roberts as a spouse, in her candidate financial disclosures.

Even if it’s not illegal, it does raise ethical issues:
Now, maybe he wasn’t her spouse then, but they were living together per her Vogue profile, so paying the money is still a massive ethical problem.https://t.co/SEqi5fEAe5 pic.twitter.com/FRduzForEM

As we reported yesterday:

Days ago Ocasio-Cortez was called out for giving her boyfriend a paying job on her staff.
She and her chief of staff feigned outrage and said that he was not being paid.
They claimed he only had a Congressional email to check on her calendar for her and that it was common practice.
And they were, in part, telling the truth but not in the way that normal people tell the truth.

She and her chief of staff had found a much more clever way of paying her boyfriend that would not be caught as quickly.
“A rich guy used a PAC to pay @AOC’s boyfriend $6,000 when her campaign was running out of money. After AOC won, she gave that rich guy a job in her office. Follow me on a journey,” author Luke Thompson said.

“Last week, @AOC and her Chief of Staff @saikatc (the rich guy in question) freaked out on me when I pointed out it looked like she’d hired her boyfriend. I did some digging in the FEC. Turns out Saikat has “hired” her boyfriend, before…just not to do any actual work,” he said.

“.@AOC paid Brand New Congress LLC, which @saikatc owns, for strategic consulting. @BrandNew535, the PAC Saikat ran in parallel to his LLC, turned around and paid Riley Roberts – the boyfriend – the same amount as its sole “marketing consultant”. How swampy,” he said.

“The payments to Roberts are the largest payments made by @BrandNew535 to any person or group other than Brand New Congress LLC. Oh, and Roberts doesn’t work in marketing,” Thompson said.
