Prosecutors Can Prove Hunter Spent Campaign Cash on His Mistresses
Remember when Trump-supporting Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter got caught stealing $250,000 from his campaign account, and then blamed his wife?
Now it turns out prosecutors say they can prove that Hunter used much of the money he stole on women he was having affairs with. Well have to wait and see if he tries to blame this on his wife also.
Its true that much of the money he took was used to benefit his wife, who also did the accounting for Hunters campaign organization. However its not true that the Congressman didnt know what his wife was doing when they were spending all that money on expensive trips, fancy restaurants, bar tabs, and even monthly grocery bills.
So now prosecutors in the case are saying that the ultra-conservative Hunter illegally used campaign money for gifts and entertaining at least five women, none of whom are his wife. Now Mrs. Hunter may really be upset that the Congressman threw her under the bus for crimes that he committed.
Both Hunter and his wife Margaret were indicted last month on more than 60 criminal charges, all connected with how they misappropriated more than $250,000 in campaign money. Details of their lavish lifestyle had previously been reported, but only now is it coming out that Representative Hunter a big espouser of family values on his congressional website may have been seeing other women.

Say goodbye to Duncan Hunter and his ilk. The prime example is the man who occupies the seat at the Resolution Desk.
