In a major bit of news showing yet more Swamp corruption, the Office of Congressional Ethics released a report in which it showed that far-left Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) likely profited off of taxpayer funds that were appropriated by Congress, directing those funds to a for-profit entity.
In the report, investigators working for the Office of Congressional Ethics found that there is “substantial reason to believe” that Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick sought and recieved taxpayer funding for a community project and then redirected those funds into a private business from which she profited.
Making that conclusion, the OCE said, “The Board recommends that the Committee further review the above allegation concerning Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick because there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick requested community project funding that would be directed to a for-profit entity.”
That conclusion came after the OCE report rattled off of litany of accusations against the far-left and likely corrupt congresswoman. Beginning, the report stated, “Representative Cherfilus-McCormick may have requested community project funding that would be directed to a for-profit entity. If Representative Cherfilus-McCormick requested community project funding that would be directed to a for-profit entity, she may have violated House rules and standards of conduct.”
Continuing, it described how she appeared to have been bribed via campaign contributions, a common form of Swamp corruption. It said, “Representative Cherfilus-McCormick may have accepted campaign contributions linked to an official action. If Representative Cherfilus-McCormick accepted campaign contributions linked to an official action, she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
The report then described the various ways in which her campaign might have broken the law in linking accepted contributions to official action, saying, “Representative Cherfilus-McCormick’s congressional office may have made payments to an entity in violation of House committee rules and standards of conduct; alternatively, her campaign may have accepted and failed to report in-kind contributions that may have exceeded applicable limits. If Representative Cherfilus-McCormick’s congressional office made payments to an entity in violation of House committee rules and standards of conduct—or if her campaign accepted and failed to report in-kind contributions, or if those in-kind contributions exceeded applicable limits—she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
Building on that, it noted that she appeared to have used her position to dispense favors and privileges to those on her side, saying, “Representative Cherfilus-McCormick may have dispensed special favors or privileges to friends in connection with her congressional office’s requests for community project funding. If Representative Cherfilus-McCormick dispensed special favors or privileges to friends in connection with her congressional office’s requests for community project funding, she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
The report then said, before reaching the conclusion that there is substantial reason to believe she broke the law, “Representative Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign may have misreported the source of a campaign contribution or accepted a campaign contribution made by one person in the name of another. If Representative Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign misreported the source of a campaign contribution or accepted a campaign contribution made by one person in the name of another, she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
