Rep Duncan Hunter & wife charged with misusing campaign money

[cow451]

29. "On or about March 4, 2016, in Washington, DC, Duncan Hunter spent $462.46 in Campaign funds for 30 shots of tequila and one steak at El Tamarindo restaurant during Individual 8's bachelor party."

“Christian” Tequila is apparently smoother than Trump Vodka.

At >$10/shot, it had better be.

Also, if I was on death row, 30 shots of tequila and a steak would be my last meal.

Your Honor, I request death by drinking.

That would be cheaper than smuggling all those lethal injection medications from Europe.

Duncan Hunter's lawyers are now alleging that his many sexual affairs with staffers was part of legitimate public business.

"However unpopular the notion of a married man mixing business with pleasure, the Government cannot simply dismiss the reality that Mr. Hunter's relationships with Individual's 14-18 often served an overtly political purpose that would not have existed irrespective of his occupation," Hunter's attorneys wrote.

"Dear Mr Hunter, That's not what it means to 'give her the bizness'".

I hope these corrupt Democrats get what's coming to them.

 

[carlv_52]

Yeah but... What did Hillary do with all those emails?!

That's what I was wondering too, when I started to read about Mr. Hunter....

Lock 'em up!

I'm guessing your tongue is firmly lodged in your cheek, but for those playing at home: Hunter is a Republican.

Here's a shot from Hunter's campaign-financed fact-finding tour at the Vatican:

Well then, it's a witch hunt and the corrupt Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for even suggesting that such a nice young man has done anything wrong.

Not directly related, but... I've made a lot of threads today, so I'll make this one an update.

Duncan Hunter ordered to stop using Marine Corps emblem in campaign

The letter [from the the Marine Corps Trademark Licensing Office] dated Tuesday, demands that Hunter's campaign "immediately remove the Emblem and the Phrase from its mailers, and, without limitation, from all other campaign materials including websites

...

He currently faces federal charges of wire fraud, campaign finance violations, falsifying records and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts and has argued the charges are politically motivated. In June, federal prosecutors alleged in court documents that Hunter had used campaign funds to pursue extramarital affairs with five women while in Congress.

 

[Skewpoint]

Wow, this guy is a walking trainwreck.

Good.

Hunter was only narrowly re-elected in 2018 despite the heavy Republican lean of his suburban San Diego seat. But without the scandal-marred incumbent running again, the GOP would have little trouble keeping their seat in this column.
One man who wants to do just that is former Rep. Darrell Issa

Ugh, the GOP has such a deep bench of people I can't stand.

Though I would love to see that campaign "Yeah I quit the last time I was in Congress, but this is different."

Hunter ran over his wife with the bus (figuratively, not literally). You'd think that on account of them having kids still living in the house you'd want at least 1 prison to not be facing prison time, but nope. Hunter only thought of himself.

 

[Scholastica]

Hunter has been stripped of his committee roles and has been told not to vote in the House anymore.

For some inexplicable reason he hasn't resigned yet.

Congressman pleads guilty to spending campaign funds on Steam games

Some politicians have been guilty in the past of misusing campaign funds for personal things. However, this is probably the first time we’ve heard someone use them for… Steam games? Per this report from Polygon, United States congressman Duncan D. Hunter pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing funds from his campaign. Apparently over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars ended up being used for personal expenditures. Among them were plane tickets for his pet rabbits (yes, just the rabbits), as well as Steam games.

Apparently, the congressman spent $1,300 on said games. And he likely didn’t even wait for a sale. Not only that, but Hunter’s wife, Margaret, is also a subject pleading guilty on the spending matter.
