Lauren Boebert faces fraud probe after claiming she drove farther than Earth's circumference on campaign trail https://www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebert-fraud/ Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is under investigation for possible fraud. The first-term Colorado Republican allegedly inflated her mileage totals in 2020 and then used more than $20,000 in campaign reimbursements to pay off years worth of tax liens on her restaurant, and state officials confirmed the matter had been forwarded to an interagency group for investigation, reported the New York Times. “Utilizing an illegal source of funds or ill-gotten funds to pay off a tax lien is illegal in Colorado and under federal law,” reads a complaint sent to the Colorado attorney general's office by the the American Muckrakers PAC. “That is the very definition of ill-gotten funds.” The allegations against Boebert were first reported in February 2021, claiming that Boebert had cashed two checks from her campaign totaling $22,259 for mileage reimbursement, but that figure worked out to 38,712 miles -- which is significantly further than the planet's 24,901-mile circumference. “Colorado deserves more than an irresponsible, loudmouth member of Congress,” said David Wheeler, the PAC’s president. “Maybe it’s time for Boebert to look for another line of work.” The American Muckrackers PAC was also behind a stream of damaging information released about Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) in the weeks ahead of his Republican primary election defeat, but Wheeler said the complaint was filed after previous complaints to the Federal Election Commission stalled, and the House Ethics Committee declined to say whether the issue was under investigation. “This is not an attack on Lauren Boebert,” Wheeler said. “Had Rep. Boebert paid her restaurant staff properly and also paid the unemployment premiums to the State of Colorado, an investigation never would have been necessary.” Boebert's campaign later amended the mileage reimbursement to include travel expenses and hotel rooms, but the new filing still shows $17,280 in mileage reimbursements.
The great thing about courts is that they bring out the information and details in the discovery process. Tell her to sue away -- it will be very entertaining.

More details... Lauren Boebert's Shooters restaurant kicked out after new landlord cites "moral" imperative: report Boebert can't seem to get her story straight after marijuana company takeover https://www.salon.com/2022/06/23/la...ndlord-cites-moral-imperative-report_partner/ Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., could lose her Hooters-inspired, gun-themed restaurant in a dispute with her new landlord. The Colorado Republican told The Daily Beast she and her husband were surprised last week to receive notice from their landlord, a cannabis retailer, that their lease for Shooters would not be renewed after the building's ownership changed hands last month, and the lawmaker said they would have to find another location or close for good. "She didn't explain exactly why her business was being kicked out," the website reported. "A person familiar with the arrangement said the property manager felt he had a 'moral' imperative to close the business, and had planned to lease the space to another restaurant." Milkin Enterprises, the company that owns the building, was formed days before buying it, according to Colorado business records, and the two men on its incorporation documents run the cannabis dispensary Rifle Remedies, which shared an address with Shooters until 2019, and Boebert said she had previously paid rent checks to the father of one of those men, who owned the building through Meskin Enterprises. An anti-Boebert political group claimed the day after the notice was served that Shooters would be pushed out just days before Colorado's June 28 primary, but the lawmaker told The Daily Beast that was inaccurate and scrambled to assure her employees that wasn't true. Boebert told the website that she and her husband Jayson Boebert were "at peace" with closing after eight years, but she also said they were considering buying the property from the new owners, who she says appear open to selling. "He said, 'If you're still interested in purchasing, I'm interested in selling,'" she said. Boebert repeatedly denied there was a political motivation to the sudden threat to her business, but county records show the deed transfer from father to son went through two days after the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas, and the same day the lawmaker made news for remarking that "we didn't ban planes" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Peters, a fervent Donald Trump supporter and peddler of right-wing conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, “was indicted on 10 criminal counts related to the effort to copy voting equipment software, including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identity theft and first-degree official misconduct,” The Times reported. Asked about the indictment, Peters deflected blame, telling the newspaper that Boebert is the one responsible for her actions. “She encouraged me to go forward with the imaging” of voting machines, Peters said of Boebert, according to The Times. Boebert has denied any involvement in the crimes, calling Peter’s claims “false.” Read the full report in The New York Times.
