Clay raised $145,340 throughout the first quarter of 2019 and disbursed $56,797 during this time. Clay's sister's firm was the biggest recipient of the campaign's cash.
Coincidence or crime? You make the call.
According to the FEC filings, $30,000 was paid out from the campaign's coffers to the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay LLC, a company owned by Clay's sister, Michelle, during the first three months of the year.

The firm's address is in Silver Spring, Md., and is just outside of Washington, D.C., but it turns out that it's not a law office but an actual residence.
Is it real or just a front?
The firm does not apparently have a website and practically no information is available online in relation to its operations. However, the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay LLC is incorporated in Maryland and is currently active.
Shouldn't the Democrats demand full disclosure of the "firm's" IRS statements like they do with Trump?
The firm was disbursed three payments in the amount of $10,000 each, which were made in early and late January, with the third payment disbursed in late February. Clay's sister received the cash for what she claims is for fundraising, compliance, and community organizing, Obama style.

Believe it or not.
Clay paid his sister's firm for fundraising despite the committee receiving very little money from individual contributors because most voters think he isn't the man for the job. An overwhelming majority of the cash came from donations from committees. Clay also paid out $9,000 to Frailoi & Associates, a D.C.-based campaign consulting group, for fundraising, the filings show.
Of the $145,340 in donations Clay received during the first quarter of the year, $116,350—or 80 percent—was sent from other committees while only $29,990 came from individual contributions in small, unmarked bills as he requested.
It is also unclear what community organizing the law office is receiving compensation for, as community organizing is typically not an activity performed by law offices.

Perhaps like the Obamas, who both surrendered their law licenses in 2012, Michelle Clay had to do the same. Who knows?
Clay's campaign did not return a request for comment on what type of fundraising and community organizing work his sister's firm is performing on behalf of his campaign.
Outside of the money Clay's campaign disbursed to his sister's firm and Fraioli & Associates, the Democratic Rep. charged thousands on an American Express card for travel, spent thousands more for catering and "meals while working" at the National Democratic Club, and more than $1,000 on "Ford Credit" on an automobile, possibly a Mustang, but it isn't known.
This is not the first time his sister's law office has received money from Clay's campaign committee.
The Democratic congressman put his sister's firm on his campaign's payroll about a year after entering Congress in 2002. Since that time, the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay has been paid more than $950,000 from his campaign's funds.
It is believed he and his sister have a "very strange relationship."
