Stacey Abrams' nonprofit guilty of illegally aiding her 2018 campaign

[Anonymous]

Well, well. How utterly unsurprising - to the tune of $7.4 million illegally used to aid Stacey Abrams.

A nonprofit founded by perennial candidate Stacey Abrams has settled a complaint with the Georgia Ethics Commission and will pay $300,000 to the state for illegally spending millions to bolster Abrams’ gubernatorial bid in 2018.

According to the consent order, which was made public on Wednesday following the ethics commission’s vote to approve it, the New Georgia Project and its fundraising arm, the New Georgia Project Action Fund, failed to disclose roughly $4.2 million in contributions and $3.2 million in expenditures that were used mostly to support Abrams during the 2018 primary and general election.

The order details 16 violations of state law, including the group’s failure to register as a political committee, failure to file a number of required disclosure reports, and failure to disclose millions of dollars in political contributions and expenditures. By agreeing to the consent order and by paying the $300,000 penalty, the New Georgia Project admits it broke the law, according to the order.

David Emadi, executive director of Georgia’s ethics commission, said in a statement that the fine is the largest ever imposed by the commission and may be the largest fine by a state ethics board in a campaign finance case ever.

How quaint in light of the corruption on the Supreme Court and the incoming administration. Laws are only for black people, I suppose.

What a shock, who would have ever seen that one coming.

Not surprising . She was going on tv saying she won the election. She was an election denier before it was cool.

That does seem within Biden's diversity, equity, and inclusion presidency. He said that the laws were for everyone, no matter their race. Why would he change his stance on the law applying only to black people days before the end of his presidency?

Hush, your mouth! Miss Selena Montgomery is guilty only of having too little sex in her bodice rippers.

Icky. Gross. Anything and anyone associated with the Republican and Democratic parties these days is just absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, he was found guilty of that. So, I guess he didn't get away with it?

So Biden is responsible for Georgia?

Except he didn't use campaign funds.
