👮 Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti (Chief of staff, former campaign chair), appear to have obtained majority control of Justice Democrats PAC in December 2017, raised more than $1.8M (and was responsible for her win), and illegally diverted more than $1M of those funds. If AOC and Chakrabarti withheld their control of that organization from the FEC to divert funds around campaign limits, they could face jail time. All the FakeNews came out to misrepresent this: CNN, ABC, NBC, WaPo, BI, MarketWatch and Snopes. But either the Justice Democrats website was lying for years (and they're guilty of fraud), or AOC/Chakrabarti are lying now.


Archived copies of the Justice Democrats website reveal Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control over” the PAC starting in December 2017, and that Chakrabarti was one of its “major players” up until January 2019. And real journalists found that out and reported it. FakeNews didn't try, or tried to bury it. Either their own website was lying (and makes them guilty of fraud to deceive contributors), or AOC and Chakrabarti withheld this info. [1]
