This time it involves an unusual amount of Uber rides and Venmo payments that the Congresswoman made to herself.

Man things just keep going from bad to worse for Republican representative Lauren Boebert. Um, as I reported a couple of days ago,
Boebert Gavin, a little bit of an issue,
And there's some serious red flags with her campaign, financial disclosures, you know, the biggest one, obviously being that Boebert consulting the company from which her husband made a couple million dollars from Terra energy, um, appeared to kind of bounce back and forth and ownership, uh, between other companies also owned by the Boebert, which
Again, in and of itself is not illegal, but bouncing
The ownership of a company back and forth between a husband and a wife.
Yeah. That doesn't quite seem on the level.
And of course she failed to disclose all the money he made had to file the amended report. But even after that scandal was revealed earlier this week, um, it was revealed
That there's even more red flags in this financial disclosure. And here's the thing, I didn't know this until now, but actually back in February,
Bo Bert said this during an interview, they want to come against me for legitimate expenses. Go ahead. I am doing the work of the people I had to make those connections. And really I under reported a lot of stuff.
What, what, what, what you under-report? No. Oh my God. Like that's basically admitting to the crime under reporting is a crime. Like this was from February of this year folks, February
Where she's like, oh yeah, by the way, I totally underreported a lot of stuff. So come after me, if you want, like, yes, they want to, the FEC is still seeking answers from this, but we need more than just the FEC saying, Hey, could you answer for the, no, we need the FEC saying, guess what? We're sending this over to the feds and they're going to investigate your. That's what needs to happen. But anyway, here's the latest bogans campaign spent 2.6 million in the 2020 cycle yet only made a total of 147 payments to a total of 32 recipients. That's a lot of money to very few people. 40 of those 147 payments
Went to Uber in December of 2020. So you made 147 payments. And 40 of those went to Uber just in December. And we know you're not spending hundreds
And hundreds of dollars per ride on an Uber. So that leaves a hell of a lot of money on the table. Um, she also during the campaign, and this is another big red flag, uh, purchase several domains, several website names that she actually used for her campaign. And on these campaigns, she had professional graphic. She had professional photographs of her, her with her family, her with the bikers for Trump people all professionally done
Yet. There's no payments listed in her financial disclosures for purchasing the websites for the graphic design for the photographs. Nothing, none of that is there. And it's very
Obvious that these were in fact used for campaign expenses. Furthermore, oh, it gets so much better. Uh, CNBC reported few days ago that bogus campaign has come under scrutiny for Venmo
Payments to the Congresswoman herself for personal expenses. And we don't know what those are. She's just taken campaign money in Venmo, ING it to herself for God knows what, because it's not annotated. Did
She personally pay for the website and the graphic design and the photos and all that, and then had to pay herself back from the campaign. I mean, listen, if you do that, Hey, there's, there's really no problem with that. But you got to list it. You have to disclose that. And if you don't, then yes, you've, you've broken campaign finance law,
Okay. These are not suggestions. Folks. These are not just guidelines. These are in fact laws
That she is breaking. And here's another kicker in July of 2020. Her own treasurer for her campaign said this. There was no intent to try to report contributions illegally. As I just plain forgot to watch for large donations. As I was preparing the report
That was last year said, look, we didn't
Intentionally do illegal things high, just plain forgot
Your you're. The treasurer. You have one job.
