Duncan Hunter Spent Campaign Cash On 5 Affairs, Prosecutors Allege

Source: Huffington Post

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) allegedly spent campaign cash on affairs with five separate individuals, according to prosecutors who reportedly claim to have photographic evidence.

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted last month on 60 charges related to the alleged misuse of $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses such as lavish vacations and dinners. The couple has pleaded not guilty.

The San Diego Union-Tribune is now reporting that the 47-page charging document alleges that the congressman had “personal relationships” with at least five individuals, none of whom are identified.

But for the first time I’m thinking we might finally get rid of of the useless POS. And he did it to himself just because he thought he was untouchable. Lock him up!

She'll get locked up for years, he'll get richer, and San Diegans will get more red. What an asshat.

The sleazeball will probably blame her for his affairs just like he blamed her for the financial crimes
