Each time, the campaign paid, and as the court docs put it, “carrying out all these affairs did not come cheap.” [link to lawandcrime.com (secure)] |

Even his five mistresses testified for DoJ. Hunter ran through all his appeals and would have been in prison by now had he not gotten a delay due to COVID-19 How can people actually make excuses for swamp monters like this asshole? |

I smell a rat! Quoting: Anonymous Legend the dude admitted he did it, and yes trump is a fucking idiot, and a criminal himself. and yes, so is biden, so don't pull that bullshit. Biden has nothing to do with this. Hunter is filth. He swindled his donors out of $250k and spent it on vacations and even paid for affairs with five different women while his wife was spending the same donations on luxury items like jewellery. Hunter’s big corporate donors, such as the PACs of Northrop Grumman and AT&T, or lobbyists at various K Street firms, weren’t merely funding his campaign. They were, in effect, funding his lifestyle. Every glass of prosecco Hunter raised in Italy was funded by special interests affected by his work on the Armed Services Committee. That is, Hunter’s racket was similar to that of every other lawmaker who extracts cash from the entities he subsidizes and regulates, but with a more acute personal benefit. How can anyone possibly be more criminally and morally corrupt than this guy? And gets off without even a slap on the wrist as a reward? FFS, now he doesn't even have to pay all that money back that he spent. See this article: Trumpian corruption embodied in two swampy pardons [link to www.washingtonexaminer.com (secure)] |

Duncan Hunter used campaign funds to pay for $600 of airline fees to fly a pet rabbit, one of the more colorful expenses to surface in an ongoing review of his practices. “(The office) has in their report $600 in campaign expenditures for in cabin rabbit transport fees,” Kasper said. “Since travel is often done on (airline) miles – which is entirely permissible – the credit card connected to the account was charged several times even when his children were flying.

Duncan Hunter (R-San Diego), who was convicted in Dec. 2019 on a conspiracy charge for stealing campaign funds for personal use. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78764248 Hunter's 11-month sentence was scheduled to begin in January 2021 after his self-surrender date was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The former congressman, who represented the 50th district encompassing San Diego's East County for nearly six terms, pleaded guilty on Dec. 3, 2019, to misusing $150,000 in campaign funds for his own personal expenses between 2010 and 2016 -- everything from outings with friends to $511 on his daughter’s birthday party at the Hotel Del Coronado. Hunter and his wife, Margaret Hunter, were originally charged with 60 criminal counts. The complaint alleged he misused the campaign funds for golf outings, plane tickets and a family vacation to Italy. Prosecutors also said the money went to household items and airline tickets for their pet rabbit. Prosecutors said that despite their lavish spending, the couple were in dire financial straits, overdrawing their bank account more than 1,100 times over a seven-year period.
