AOC PAC USDs to LLC, TBD by FEC

A new FEC complaint alleges that several PACs directed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and/or her chief of staff reported large lump-sum expenditures to a set of campaign vendor LLCs, apparently complaining that the specific expenditures should have been reported individually.  More here and here (including some other allegations concerning potential improper affiliation of the PAC and the campaign, and several that just seem to be screaming “AOC” as loudly as possible).

Here’s the PAC’s own explanation (from May 2018) of why it was set up as it was.  And a Twitter thread from Common Cause’s Paul Ryan trying to parse what’s what … and what might merit closer investigation.
