Stacey Abrams Nailed with IRS Complaint

HAHAHAHA.

This is just TOO MUCH.

As Democrats try to find ANY and EVERY way to “get” Trump… they seem to be ignoring how many of their own are involved in some shaaady dealings.

AOC funneled campaign money into a PAC. No one seems to care.

And Stacey Abrams? Their “wronged” Golden Child? Well, she’s not so “golden” after all.

According to Fox News:

Spending by Fair Fight Action, a nonprofit that former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams founded to advance voting rights, and which is staffed by former Abrams campaign aides, is prompting questions about whether it’s inappropriately supporting her political ambitions.

AWWWKWAAAAARD.

Go ahead and keep complaining about “campaign spending” though, Dems. Keep at it while holding this woman up. I DARE YOU.

In a matter of months, Abrams has gone from losing the Georgia governor’s race to being a heavily recruited Democratic star, urged to run for Senate and mentioned as a possible presidential contender.

On Wednesday, a GOP-affiliated group called the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, or FACT, filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service. The group pointed to roughly $100,000 worth of Facebook ads featuring Abrams, an advertisement for a “Stacey Abrams Fundraiser” that featured Fair Fight Action’s logo, travel for Abrams’ post-election “thank you” tour of Georgia and a professionally produced “highlight reel” of Abrams footage on the group’s website.

The complaint argued Fair Fight Action has been supporting Abrams’ political ambitions, not advocating for voting rights. That would be a violation of tax law that forbids political 501(c)(4) nonprofits from providing a “private benefit” to a particular person or group, according to a copy of the complaint provided to The Associated Press. The group typically files ethics complaints against Democrats but also has targeted some Republicans, including North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, a leader of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

Although there is no proof of any illegal activity, some of the organization’s expenditures could pose a problem if Abrams follows through with her pledge to run for office again. For the organization to be tax exempt, it can’t be involved in campaign work; if she runs, all their support for her could appear like campaign work. Abrams serves as the chairwoman of Fair Fight Action’s board.

AND NO – this wasn’t an innocent mistake. Anyone with even BASIC knowledge of how 501(c)(4)s work could have told you this was a NO GO.

If she runs for federal office and it’s determined that the group laid the groundwork for her campaign, donation limitations could retroactively apply to Fair Fight Action, legal experts have said.

You know how the Dems are complaining that paying Stormy off was a “campaign contribution” or whatever?

Yeah. It’s that ON STEROIDS.

Of course, her people are just calling this a meeean ol’ attack from the “right-wing HATERZ.”

Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams’ former campaign manager, disputed the details of FACT’s complaint. She said that while Abrams is the figurehead of the organization, Fair Fight Action’s promotional activities have always focused on voting rights issues.

“It’s no surprise that right-wing hit groups allied with Donald Trump are launching bogus attacks against Fair Fight,” she said in an emailed statement. “They’re afraid of Stacey Abrams and even more afraid that all eligible Georgians will exercise their right to vote.”

Caitlin Highland, an Abrams spokeswoman, said Abrams will step down from Fair Fight Action if she runs for office again.

But…They’re afraid of Stacey Abrams?

Really?

What has she done other than lost a race, complained about it, and then give the most snooze-worthy SOTU address of all time?

Abrams has said that she will decide soon on her political future. Last week, she met with former Vice President Joe Biden, leading to speculation he might pick her as a running mate if he enters the 2020 White House race and wins the Democratic nomination. Her latest moves also have been closely watched by national Republicans, who have said she would be a formidable challenger to Republican Sen. David Perdue of Georgia in 2020.

Like… why?

WHAT DOES SHE EVEN BRING TO THE TABLE?!
