Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr. (D-MO) disbursed almost $200,000 from his campaign funds to his sister's law firm. This was done throughout the 2018 election cycle as per a review of Federal Election Commission filings.

Clay made the payments from his campaign committee, Clay Jr. for Congress, to the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay, LLC, a law firm owned by his sister, Michelle. The firm does not have a website and whose only address appears to be a residential home in Silver Spring, Md., outside of Washington, D.C.

The first payment was in the amount of $9,000 made on Jan. 4, 2017 for professional service fees including fundraising and compliance [which, when you think about it, is pretty ironic]. In addition, the payments to her firm were marked for community organizing, legal counsel, and record keeping.

Michelle does it all, it seems.

The time period of the many payments made by Rep. Clay Jr. was from Jan. 4 to Oct. 31, 2018. The amounts ranged from $500 to $10,000 coming to a total of $198,500. All the money went to his sister's firm, the filings indicate.

Through the full election cycle, total campaign monies came to $656,571.62. Individual contributions, however, only came to a measly $83,000, while most of the money, $573,342.77 was transferred from union, corporate and other political PACs.

I just wonder who gave him seventy-seven cents.

The $198,500 in expenditures made to the Law Office of Michelle C. Clay, Rep. Clay's sister, accounted for about 25 percent of all payments that were disbursed from his campaign committee.


Clay Jr.'s campaign did not respond to a request for comment to any in the press, including Brain Flushings own, Vinny Boombots.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
