Let's see now. Money donated for a political campaign has to be spent on that campaign. It can not be siphoned off and used for personal enrichment. Oh. Wait. You are a politician - the rules do not apply to you then. From Breitbart:
Karen Bass’s Campaign Gave Nearly $100K to Nonprofit She Co-Founded Which Paid Her $70K+ for ‘Consulting’
Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) nearly doubled her income in 2010 from consulting fees she received from a nonprofit she co-founded, and Bass’s re-election campaign donated nearly $100,000 to that nonprofit between 2008 and 2011, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Bass, a vice presidential contender on Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden’s VP shortlist, co-founded a South Los Angeles-based nonprofit called the Community Coalition in 1990. Her community organizing with the Coalition laid the groundwork for her successful run for the California State Assembly in 2004, where she would eventually rise to the position of Speaker in 2008.
A Los Angeles Times review of Bass’s financial disclosures found that her State Assembly campaign committees paid the Community Coalition nearly $100,000 between 2008 and 2011. And in 2010, the Community Coalition paid Bass a total of $70,500 in consulting fees, an amount that nearly doubled her State Assembly salary that year.
The word you are looking for is: Money Laundering and the Federal laws against it were codified in the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986. Yeah - she committed a Federal felony. How come she does this if she is so hot-to-trot for socialists like Castro and Chavez. I thought that socialism was all about living on nothing and giving all the money to help the poor people. Liberté, égalité, fraternité and all that good stuff...
