Cute.  But you’re missing what should be obvious BETWEEN the lines.  For 2:40 or so, she asks pointed questions about PACs and potential fraud among congress.  Then, at 2:50, Mr. Shaub, who had not been addressed, piped up to claim the current laws are more lax for the office of the president.

 

It’s nothing more than an attempt to paint Trump as a “bad guy”, to use her own words. She was not “calling out how stupid current laws are”, as you tried to make it out to be. 

 

 Let’s see how her campaign fund debacle plays out, shall we?

Complaining about what she did, could not make it up.

Did she? What court has convicted of such?

I suspect there isn't much meat to this story. 

There is no meat to this story.  Those LLC's haven't violated any reporting laws because there aren't any such reporting requirements.  The real story here is that AOC is young, charismatic, popular, and a rising star.  That's why the right-wing echo chamber is attacking her.

  Does anyone have a link to an actual news site that's reporting this? A google search just brings up a who's who list of tin foil hats.

Yep, it's the tin-foil-hat crowd.  consider the source:

 

The article says, "On Monday, a conservative group filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that the PACs failed to properly disclose their spending."

It would be useful to identify the conservative group so readers can get an idea  of where their funding comes from, their history and objectivity,

The conservative group that filed the complaint is  "The National Legal and Policy Center". Their primary source of funding are the Scaife Foundations.

"Richard Mellon Scaife is heir to the Mellon banking, oil and aluminum fortune. He is the premier financier for right wing political and policy organizations in the United States. The Mellon family owns Gulf Oil."

"Although Mr. Scaife is the owner of Pittsburgh's second largest newspaper, the Tribune-Review; he made his mark financing Republican politics and organizations. Ronald Reagan appointed many veterans of Scaife funded think tanks to his administration. According to Newt Gingrich, Scaife's money laid the basis for modern conservatism. Critics have referred to Scaife as "spoiled, vindictive and narrow minded." Former employee Pat Minarcin edited a magazine for Scaife in Pittsburgh, but resigned after he presented the magazine with a list of people he wanted to attack. Scaife operates in extreme secrecy from the 39th floor of his Pittsburgh office tower and does not grant interviews or allow cameras. According to a former White House counsel."

It appears that you've given up on the idea of jail time for OAC.

At this point I cannot make a decision on whether this would end up with her in jail.  The story is just starting so time will tell, but I doubt it considering she is now the darling of the left.  I do have a slightly related question though, if Bernie Sanders were to choose her as a running mate in 2020 and they win, and a year later Bernie kicks the bucket, is she allowed to be President?
