FBI seized computers and documents in investigation of Rep. Duncan Hunter's campaign spending

FBI agents searched the office of Rep. Duncan Hunter's campaign treasurer in February, seizing computer equipment and documents for their investigation into whether the Alpine Republican misused campaign funds.
The search warrant for Election CFO — the agency Hunter hired to ensure his campaign complied with campaign finance rules — reveals new information about the federal investigation into Hunter’s campaign spending.
The warrant, which was unsealed in March, said agents were looking for evidence showing whether Hunter's campaign funds were used for personal reasons, whether there was a scheme to defraud a bank over video game purchases, and whether Hunter's campaign finance reports were falsified to "impede or influence" FBI and House Ethics Committee inquiries into his use of campaign funds.
It was the more than $1,300 in video game purchases by Hunter's campaign that first drew the attention of federal election officials and the San Diego Union-Tribune. Hunter blamed his son for the video game purchases, saying he had used the wrong credit card. Other unusual spending by Hunter’s campaign included a now-infamous airplane ride for the family rabbit and payments to nail salons, his children’s private school and a Phoenix resort.

I'll be happy to see this useless scumbag hauled in to court and convicted.
He's my Representative, and was also Trump's election campaign co-chair in the House.

for the bunny rabbit?
Oh, and will the dumbass rednecks in East County please stop returning this useless POS to office? Hint, hint, boys: it's no longer the father, it's now the son. Did they slip that one by ya, by for instance deliberately omitting the "Jr." from campaign materials? With apologies, of course, to all right-thinking, enlightened but long-suffering voters in his district.
