Uh-Oh. Say it ain't so ! ! !
"The Feds are looking into possible campaign finance misdeeds by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff and lead rainmaker, who suddenly resigned Friday, federal sources told The Post. The inquiry centers on two political action committees founded by Saikat Chakrabarti, the top aide who quit along with Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent,the sources said.
The two PACs being probed, Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, were both set up by Chakrabarti to support progressive candidates across the country.
But they funneled more than $1-million in political donations into two private companies that Chakrabarti also incorporated and controlled, according to Federal Election Commission filings and a complaint filed in March with the regulatory agency."

The interested reader may wonder, "Why was this not discovered earlier?"
"Ahh-Hah !", says poor old DonDiego. It seems some conservative jounalists opined on the potential for just such malfeasance several months ago.
On 27 February, 2019 the Independent Journal Review published an article: "AOC Paying Her Staff a 'Living Wage' Conveniently Allows Her Chief of Staff to Bury His Finances".
And the New York Post finally came through !
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying."
