T he campaign of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her former chief of staff were found to have failed to report roughly $1 million in expenses.
The Federal Election Commission released filings on Thursday from a two-year investigation surrounding allegations that Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, funneled $1 million through two political action committees, Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, according to the New York Post . Despite the findings, the FEC voted to dismiss a complaint lodged against Ocasio-Cortez by the National Legal and Policy Center in March 2019.

The NLPC's complaint claims that Chakrabarti funneled the money through two political action committees into two organizations, according to the outlet. The money transferred might have been in violation of the $5,000 limit for donations to federal candidates, according to the complaint.
The investigation from the FEC found that the two PACs "did not properly disclose the purpose of the disbursements" to the shell companies, according to the outlet.
In response to the findings, the NLPC filed a lawsuit against the federal election integrity organization for failing to provide a reason for dismissing its complaint, according to the outlet.
"It was highly irregular for the FEC to release its statement of reasons after the deadline for us to file suit," Tom Anderson, the director for the NLPC's Government Integrity Project, told the outlet.

Just what is it that makes the Democrats "forget" to file stuff?

If there ever was a need for Special Counsel investigations it is now. Hunter Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland and now AOC.
The swamp is at flood levels and claiming new territory in Democrat run DC.
If this were a Republican charges would already be filed; and at the very least a hefty fine would have to be paid.
But, the FEC has already "pardoned" her - that didn't take long.
Swamp? Did someone mention a swamp? How about draining the one behind the NLPC and the NLPC itself?
