Famous for screaming that she plans to "impeach the mother****er!" [referring to the President of the United States], Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has her own problems. Internal messages were discovered allegedly sent in 2018 in which she asked her congressional campaign for personal money.
This is a potential crime. People don't contribute to political campaigns to buy groceries and pay the rent for candidates.
The announcement came in response to a referral that the committee received from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), which alleges that: “Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, reported campaign disbursements that may not be legitimate and verifiable campaign expenditures attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes. If Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use, or if Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes, then Rep. Tlaib may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
Fortunately for her, nothing will likely happen because people in Congress and Hillary Clinton, are above the law. In other words, the law means as much to them as the white line on a road in India means to traffic.
The OCE recommends that Tlaib be investigated “because there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use or Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes.”
“I am struggling financially right now. … I am sinking,” Tlaib wrote on April 4, 2018, later adding, “So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of 5k.”
Hey, she's a progressive, so the money is owed her for her position in government.
In another email dated April 27, 2018, Tlaib wrote, “I am just not going to make it through the campaign without a stipend. With the loss of a second income to lean back on, I am requesting $2,000 per two weeks but not exceeding $12,000. The cost of living stipend is going towards much needed expenses due to campaigning that includes car maintenance, child care and other necessities.”
Poor baby.
Tlaib is no stranger to controversy as she has repeatedly been in the national spotlight over her anti-Semitic beliefs and statements. She was banned from entering Israel, along with her "squadette" buddy, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) this summer, "stating that the two far-left members of Congress planned to harm Israel, increase incitement against it, and planned to meet with organizations that have expressed support for terrorism against it,” The Daily Wire reported.
Hopefully something will come from this and justice will be done. Maybe we can impeach the mother.
