Discussion: Politico: GOP Rep.-Elect Who 'May Have' Broken Donor Law Let Donor Screen Staff

Hey, it’s called outsourcing. Done all the time. Next, Spano will be having his donor show up in the HR to cast his votes for him.

What the hell. If I buy a Congressman, I buy the office as well, and I want to make sure it is staffed by the right people. It’s called property rights!

GOPers aren’t even pretending that they’re not rotten to the core, mercenary and unethical. What a bunch of low energy crooks.

Rep.-elect Ross Spano (R-FL) admitted to the Federal Election Commission late last month that he “may have” broken campaign finance laws by accepting $180,000 in personal loans from two friends, which he then apparently funneled to his campaign.

Is it too late for him to retrofit the “simple private transaction” defense?

Indeed! And …" According to Politico, Carreno did the firing: “He told the campaign’s treasurer she was fired,” the outlet reported."

I wonder if Carreno has any unemployed relatives looking for a job dealing with money?

Qualifications required: relative or ‘associate’.
