GP: Two prominent Democratic figures, siblings no less, have been charged with fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. The San Diego District Attorney’s office made this announcement on Wednesday.
Andrea Cardenas, a sitting Chula Vista City Council member, and her elder brother, Jesus Cardenas, who previously served as the chief of staff to San Diego City Councilman Stephen Whitburn, are at the center of this controversy.
The charges revolve around their alleged fraudulent acquisition of a $176,227 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan for their venture, Grassroots Resources, a local government and political consulting firm, Time of San Diego reported.
According to the charging documents, Jesus Cardenas is accused of misrepresenting the nature and scale of Grassroots Resources to secure the PPP loan. He allegedly claimed the company had 34 employees and further denied its operations as a political consulting entity. But the deceit doesn’t end there. The funds obtained under these pretenses were reportedly used for personal expenses. read more
Shrug, just another Democrat resume-enhancement. Pretty soon this dynamic duo of Democrat duplicity will be “promoted” by Gov. Hairgel to some bureaucratic position and we will never be rid of them.
But using campaign funds for personal use is fine.
If you haven’t learned yet what happens when you put piles of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY on a table unwatched, try leaving a candy bowl out for the kids on Halloween and see how long it lasts. OF COURSE THE PPP program was abused – by both democrats and republicans, and independents, etc.
I think the newly convicted Sam Bankman takes it all for his Democrat scam. $10 billion, and he decided that his and his mother’s altruism isn’t a viable way to go. Ole Sammy is looking at around 150 years in prison. That’s a lot of meetings with Jamal and Bubba in the shower. 🙂 Oh, and he’s got one more trial to go through next year. The penalties are mounting up.
