Beto O’Rourke used campaign funds to pay personal company $110,000
April 4, 2019 by Jerry McCormick

Beto O’Rourke has already had to defend some rather questionable acts during his youth, but now he has to defend the fact his campaigns over the years have paid out about $110,000 to a business owned by himself and then his wife.
Business arrangement

The payments don’t necessarily violate campaign finance laws. The stipulation, of course, is that the compensation for services isn’t out of the ordinary.

Stanton Street Technology Group, a web development company, was founded by Beto O’Rourke in 1998. When O’Rourke entered Congress in 2013, his wife, Amy, took over the company.
Big Money

During the 2011-12 e******n cycle, the company was paid $58,544.

During the 2013-14 cycle, the company was paid $39,060.

During the 2015-16 cycle, it was paid $9,290.

During Beto’s Senate run against Sen. Ted Cruz, the company was paid $32,778.

All of these funds came out of the O’Rourke war chest. According to records, all of these payments were to cover “consulting” and “social media work.”
Twitter buy

This is not the first time O’Rourke’s practices have been scrutinized. In 2013, O’Rourke reportedly purchased Twitter stock before the general public had the option of buying.

Watchdog agencies have already stated this is, in fact, a violation of House rules.

Additionally, O’Rourke was criticized by El Paso residents for recommending a housing development project that was proposed by his father-in-law.

Shockingly, as much as Democrats have called for investigations into Trump’s business practices, they aren’t interested in investigating O’Rourke’s own business practices.

Different rules for democrats and republicans, just another example.

If this is true he is a crook just like Trump, and since he is smarter more well spoken and popular you must support him!

Seth

Exactly.

Evidently every one of these democrats are terribly corrupt. The new little darling of that party is under intense investigation, Occasional Cortez, If we get the law authorities to enforce the law, we would see just how many of these people are c***ters and pathetic liars. They are doing nothing for our country, since Trump was duly elected, only obstructing everything he try’s to do for the American-people..

Then why dont republicans start an investigation on him? If found guilty then hang him.

Typical demonrat behavior, raise the taxes rape the people, buy more stuff! They are usurpers! In cally they take away straws supposedly for the environment but allow pampers! Typical, foolish corrupt politicians and the zombies that v**e for them! Not to forget the i******s that dominate the f********t e******ns!

Seth

With only a few brave exceptions, the Republicans in Congress are spineless career (whores) politicians who allow the Democrats to crap all over them.

I put up an excellent article on what is probably the reason behind that the other day and it appeared briefly, nothing offensive about it, and then learned that the admins here are Zuckerberg-like as they buried it around the time the sun came up that day, it was probably too t***hful or direct or something, but I was pretty surprised considering some of the threads they allow.

That was a shame, because I really wanted some feedback from other posters here on both sides of the equation.

Knowing that, I'll post on threads already in play but I doubt that I'll bother trying to start any more threads myself.

Lessons learned...

So what!! These corrupt gas bags break the law all of the time and NEVEN get charged with anything.

Losing to Cruz costs money.
Looking Kennedyesque costs money.
Kissing All Sharpton's ring costs money.

Beto may look good in the ghet-to, but he's in the red on paper even before one winning campaign.

Seth

If he actually ends up receiving the Democratic Party nomination, President Trump will chew him up and spit him out in the debates.

So how about you list the crooked things Trump has done and how about some real proof, not just an unknown or an anonymous person said he did something. snowflake. make me eat my works!
