Ocasio-Cortez and top aide run outside group leading “War” on establishment Dems, documents show

DC: Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide hold majority control over Justice Democrats, a left-wing PAC waging open war on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other establishment Democrats, according to corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, obtained majority control of the political action committee in December 2017, TheDCNF reported Monday. Chakrabarti resigned from the Justice Democrats’ board in August 2018, Politico reported, and the PAC’s website no longer lists Ocasio-Cortez as a governor, but government documents show the two still hold majority control as of Wednesday afternoon.

Ocasio-Cortez’s role with the PAC, which was a driving force behind her stunning victory in 2018, may have violated campaign finance laws, two former Federal Election Commission (FEC) members told TheDCNF.

Ocasio-Cortez never disclosed her control of the PAC to the FEC. If the congresswoman intentionally withheld that information from the FEC, both she and Chakrabarti “could be facing jail time,” former FEC Commissioner Brad Smith told TheDCNF.

But there’s another aspect to the story: Justice Democrats has aggressively attacked Ocasio-Cortez’s more moderate Democratic colleagues at a time when the party is divided between establishment members and progressives pushing the party left.

Justice Democrats’ corporate filings indicate the group attacking senior Democrats isn’t just allied with Ocasio-Cortez but is also partially controlled by her as well.

Both Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti are still listed on the Washington, D.C., Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs’ website as two of Justice Democrats’ three governors.

The left-wing group is open in its antagonism toward establishment members of the party.

Justice Democrats and Ocasio-Cortez staged a sit-in at Pelosi’s office in November 2018 shortly after the midterm elections.

It hadn’t been reported at that time that Ocasio-Cortez — at least on paper — controlled the group staging the protest in the California Democrat’s office.  MORE HERE

  1. The more I think about this the more I think sending AOC off to jail is not such a good idea. The would give her time to hammer out her personal manifesto “Mi Lucha” while surrounding herself with an every growing stronger personality cult.

    Best for her to get all the oxygen now so she can super nova her Green New Deal and just take out her friends and the DNC leadership.

  2. How’d she get so “smart” and so devious? Whose the puppet master? Soros? There has to be a script and game plan this nobody woman is following to have this much impact on policy and perceptions in such a short period of time.

  3. Do they have a Latrine Orderly in the Capital? I was Latrine Orderly once in Fort Gordon. We were getting ready for an inspection by the Post Commander. My Platoon Sgt told he wanted that fucking latrine to sparkle like a fucking star. I said, no problemo Sarge, and I immediately cut down the use to one, commode, one urinal, and one sink. Talk about 24 pissed off GIs reduced to one of each. They wanted to strangle me. But I stuck to my guns. Remarks were made,like fuck you you Irish prick. But no matter.
    Next morning I shined up the remaining three items, commode, urinal and sink and by inspection time I had those toilet seats standing at attention and every thing sparkled. (Just like Gommer Pyle, USMC Permanent Latrine Orderly)
    We passed inspection with flying colors because the other lads buffed the floor, cleaned windows, made beds, shaped up foot lockers, and shined shoes. We rated number One on the Post, The Company Commander, a Captain, was so proud he sprung for a beer party the next day, Sunday. It was a fun time. The Captain told us
    that the Inspector General was most impressed with the Latrine and cleanliness of it. But added “Captain don’t your men ever take a shit”? The Captain toasted me and and some of the lads gave me a rousing cheer, others called me a fucking asshole. But then we all moved on the bigger things. Like being soldiers.
    Anyway, the reason I bring this up is I honestly believe that many, many people in our government could not make a competent Latrine Orderly. Gerrard Nadler wouldn’t have the balls to tell 24 soldiers
    “you can’t use this urinal.” Neither would Schumer, Lowery, Gillibrand, Schiff, Pelosi, Feijndtein, Lee, Johnson and so on. But these caitiffs have no problem attacking President Trump. They are cowards. This muslim bitch Omar should be trounced, and so should
    this Cortez from the Bronx idiot, along with the hoe who called our President a Motherfucker. They couldn’t make a competent Latrine Orderly. And the LO at the Capital, the janator, is ,mostly assuredly, more competent then any of them.
    That’s my rant for the night.
