Cori Bush could be on the hook for many crimes as the Justice Department continues its investigation into her alleged misuse of over $750,000 in campaign funds for personal security.
The progressive Squad member spent thousands on security services out of her campaign account since getting elected in 2020. That includes over $120,000 to her husband Courtney Merritts, according to her most recent campaign filings, who she married in February 2023.
Kendra Arnold, executive director for ethics watchdog the Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust (FACT) told DailyMail.com that 'a host of other possible charges' for Bush are possible.

A black cisgender Progressive woman misaligned with traditional antiquated and reactionary laws against self-directed reparations to her black cisgender husband? Racism.

well said, #1 and I would add - she's a communist and a democrat, both species are above the law and are never punished, significantly, for their misdeeds

I am sure Merrick will prosecute her with the same zeal that he is prosecuting Trump. s/o

FTA: "'a host of other possible charges' for Bush are possible."
A Host of Charges are Possible for EVERT Democrat, The Party of Criminals and Traitors and Parasites but that doesn't mean there will ever be changes, due to the Democrat Parry controlling the Justice System. Tell me if I'm wrong: I believe the very last Democrat with a modicum of integrity was Harry Truman.

Then expect similar complaints to be lodged against half of the Congress. Paying one's family members is a time-honored reality. To paraphrase the original Mayor Richard Daley in Chicago, 'If ya can't help your family - who can you help?'.

Come on now. This misuse of campaign funds is nothing more than another form of reparations. Get it.

As soon as a certain class of ethics free folks gets access to someone else's money, they instantly scheme up ways to embezzle, steal, convert, use whatever term you want.....TAKE other people's money for their own use.
They have no morals, no ethics and just see no reason not to steal, with both hands. So many of the inner city class just cannot avoid being crooked....they just have no internal prevention, corrupt to their core.

Another "13%" lawmaker on the grift . . . as Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise, surprise."

The decision to punish and the nature of it will be determined by the Thieves’ Guild, which dominates the Congress.
