AOC and her shady connections. More accusations regarding top aid and finances
They are all crooks in our government whether Democrats or Republicans but the toll falls more on Democrats. What a shame America is run by such people. Report: Former AOC Aide Paid Himself Nearly $140K in Donor Funds from His Own PAC – Breitbart
In a recent revelation, Corbin Trent, a former top aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is under scrutiny for allegedly funneling substantial amounts of donor funds from his political action committee (PAC) into his own pockets. Trent, who played a pivotal role in Ocasio-Cortez’s rise to power, established the No Excuses PAC in 2021 with the ambitious goal of eliminating the Senate filibuster, focusing on senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema. However, a recent report unveils a significant disparity between the PAC’s mission and its actual expenditures.

Following his departure as Ocasio-Cortez’s communications director in 2019 and exit from her campaign in 2020, Trent initiated the No Excuses PAC. Despite its stated objective of targeting the filibuster, the PAC reportedly allocated minimal funds to this cause. Federal Election Commission filings indicate that Trent paid himself nearly $140,000 for purported communication and management consulting between February 2021 and September 2023.
During the same period, No Excuses spent a mere $14,831 on radio ad buys targeting Senators Manchin and Sinema. This stark contrast raises concerns, as Trent personally received ten times more for reported consulting services than the PAC invested in its stated goals, according to the publication’s findings.
This story is yet another reminder that many political operations are nothing more than performative grifts. While there are some who are gung-ho about the cause, others are using politics as just another way to increase their cash flow.
In this case, it is the left who is affected. Perhaps it is appropriate to be glad that Trent’s actions are harming the progressive cause – taking their money while not actually pushing their agenda forward.
But, it is also worth noting that there are plenty of Trents on the right as well, using the movement to further their own personal interests instead of trying to make a positive difference. These people excel at convincing regular folks to donate to their organizations or PACs while enriching themselves without doing much in the way of political advocacy. The lack of transparency and accountability found in the No Excuses PAC’s operation is one of many examples of how this can happen. – Red State – click for more

Trent defended his earnings by attributing them to television appearances that he claimed furthered the PAC’s mission. However, it was noted that consistent payments were made to him even during periods when he did not appear on television.
Before his involvement with Ocasio-Cortez and the formation of No Excuses, Trent co-founded Justice Democrats, playing a key role in propelling Ocasio-Cortez into power.

The No Excuses PAC has recently shifted its focus from the filibuster issue to persuading President Biden not to seek a second term. The PAC has been soliciting donations for this cause, running an ad stating, “President Biden, you’ve accomplished more in three years than most two-term presidents.” The ad suggests that battleground state voters are inclined to vote for Trump if Biden becomes the Democratic nominee, warning of potential damage to democracy.
No Excuses, however, faces financial challenges, reporting just over $1,500 in its bank in the most recent filings. The Daily Beast’s inquiry about the total amount raised by the PAC to date was met with silence.

To Sum It All Up: the allegations against Corbin Trent raise questions about the ethical use of donor funds within political action committees. The significant disparity between the reported consulting payments to Trent and the actual spending on the PAC’s stated goals adds a layer of complexity to the situation. As this story unfolds, it underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in political fundraising and spending. The Democrats have been known to be con-artists when it comes to finance, but with the continued control over about 95% of media, they can hide the many scams they have used for decades.

Major Points Discussed:

- The PAC, established in 2021 to target the Senate filibuster and influence Senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, allegedly spent only a fraction of its funds on these objectives.
- Federal Election Commission filings reveal that Trent paid himself nearly $140,000 for communication and management consulting, overshadowing the meager $14,831 spent on radio ad buys targeting the mentioned senators.
- No Excuses has recently shifted its focus to discouraging President Biden from seeking a second term, soliciting donations for this new objective, amid growing concerns about transparency and accountability regarding the PAC’s financial decisions.

The Wisdom of AOC (lol)
AOC‘s solution to the border crisis: “You can either fix it by trying to build a wall. Or you can fix it by documenting people.” The best way to end illegal migration is by legalizing it. AOC is brilliant.
