Meadows appears to have kept spending campaign donor funds on personal expenses after retiring

YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL, THIS IS WHAT REP hUNTER DID IN CA.




The purchase include gourmet cupcakes, a cell phone bill, grocery purchases, lavish meals, lodging at the Trump International Hotel and thousands of dollars at a Washington jeweler

The spending went on for months after he announced his retirement in December, then months after he stepped down in March, and has continued through September in the form of a PAC that has raised no money

Rep. Duncan Hunter went to prison for using campaign funds for personal expenses. The day he resigned in January, Meadows spent $1000 at the Capitol Hill Club, after he announced he would no longer be campaigning.

There is no bottom with these people.

Looks like Meadows took the opportunity to funnel some campaign cash right into Trump's pocket. Typical.

I hope that Moe Davis can win Meadows' old seat!

it applies to just about everyone in his administration and political circle, starting with himself.

It's projection, of course, just like everything else he says.

depends on the state, but many have election campaign laws that apply to the house and senate candidates since they raise money in state.

I’d LOVE to see him face the consequences!

And the bigger the consequences, the better.

Lock HIM up.
