One would think there would be a check on that.

One would think.

Are you sure this is hers...or just some PAC that supports her?

IIRC, Elected officials and candidates can have no control over PAC's.

And it could very much be a campaign expense if the tickets were used as a gift at a bigger fundraising event.

Get the money out of politics period.

Did you even consider doing a single google search before immediately trying to discredit this? This is her campaign committee.

Not 11-grand-of-my-money good.

But, can you imagine if it was a Republican that had done this. She'd be howling like a dog in outrage.

And the company wrote it off their taxes and didn't pay you the money they could have paid you instead of the play so you are kinda paying for it twice.

If she runs on any Democratic presidential ticket (she'll be 82 then which gives her 3 more years of nutcase seniority), I'll change my party affiliation. How many gifts do you want from the Democrats?

I wonder if she left the show early like Pence did last year?

Yes, I did. Granted I didn't have time to look into it fully as I was leaving for the day, but my question still stands: Could this have been a legitimate expense if the tickets were part of a raffle or something at another fundraiser?

Additionally, anyone who knows me is well aware of my disdain for Ms. Waters.

Corruption is indeed bipartisan. Misuse of funds should come out of the pockets of any politician caught doing so.

Again, did she actually misuse something? This is spelled out in plain English on an FEC form. If it's illegal, has she gotten in trouble for it?

It was a general statement.
