1. its her thread.
2. she has, similar to Trump, campaigned on being anti-swamp. so the hypocrisy is note worthy.
3. define "All the time". Cause what I am seeing from the FEC is they did 7 investigations all year in 2016. https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/OIGFY2017WorkPlan-FINAL.pdf and that is on more than just campaign stuff. for them to have a new one in early 2019 is at least somewhat noteworthy, and will be a substantial chunk of their new investigations. ~14% of their new cases if the numbers hold.

'There is no violation!' Ocasio-Cortez denies watchdog's complaint to the FEC that her chief of staff funneled campaign cash to his own firm

Rep. Alexanadria Ocasio-Cortez is denying any violation in campaign finance law after a conservative watchdog group filed a complaint charging that her top aide funneled $1 million in contributions from a PAC he controlled to his own companies.

'There is no violation,' the first-term lawmaker told Fox News as she arrived in Washington, D.C. for a day when votes in the House are scheduled.

She also denied that the Federal Election complaint, filed against her and her chief of staff, connected her to 'dark money' in her campaign. 'No, no,' she responded.

Ocasio-Cortez responded after the National Legal and Policy Center's Government Integrity Project filed an FEC complaint saying her top aide shifted the funds in what it argued could have been a bid to avoid disclosure.

The aide, chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, set up the Brand New Congress PAC as a way to collect contributions to boost new members of Congress.

PACs face disclosure requirements beyond what a company would be required to reveal about how funds get spent.

Chakrabarti tweeted about the unusual arrangement in response to media reports Monday. 'We were doing something totally new, which meant a new setup. So, we were transparent about it from the start,' he said.

Conservative watchdog group National Legal and Policy Center, which previously had researchers investigating longtime New York Rep. Charles Rangel – a senior lawmaker like the one Ocasio-Cortez knocked off in a primary in her Queens district – named both Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide in the complaint.

Chakrabarti's campaigns raised $3.3 million and diverted more than $1 million to his companies, the Washington Examiner reported.

CNN Panel of Dem Voters on ‘Badass’ AOC: ‘She Is the Candidate of the Future’

Wednesday CNN’s Alisyn Camerota interviewed a panel of Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

The most excitement appeared to be for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Panelist Mary Reaman said, “She’s a badass.”

She added, “I don’t feel like she’s playing games. I’m so excited about her. She is smart, she is intelligent, and I cannot wait to see what else she does.”

Michael Milisits said, “She’s got the Democratic Party nervous in a way they should be nervous because she does represent the new guard, the new generation. I think she really kind of personifies where we expected things to go down the line.”

Christian Tamte said, “She is the candidate of the future.”
