Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) appears to have failed to properly disclose the true source of nearly $1 million her husband made in the energy sector, in possible violation of House Ethics rules. And even worse: Some of that money appears to have been paid through a company connected directly to Boebert herself.
According to new financial disclosures, Rep. Lauren Boeberts husband, Jayson Boebert, made $478,386 in 2020 and $460,601 in 2019 for consulting services he provided to a company called Terra Energy Productions, AP reported last week. (That name appears to be an error, with the intended company being Houston-based Terra Energy Partners.) A Terra Energy Partners representative confirmed to The Daily Beast on Friday that Jayson Boebert was a contracted shift worker, but was not paid directly. Instead, he was paid through a company called Boebert Consulting.
The Terra Energy representative said Rep. Boebert did not play a role in the companys business relationship with her husband.
But while Boebert Consulting doesnt appear in Lauren Boeberts recent filing, it is listed on the financial forms Boebert filed in January 2020 as a congressional candidate, as self-emp. income for spouse. The income amount is not listed, and not required by law.

Where does Boebert Consulting get it's money?
Meanwhile, she shows Zero dollars from her restaurant.
This smells bad.

She barely has a GED.
