Duncan Hunter, amerykański kongresmen wydawał pieniądze z budżetu partii nie tylko na cele polityczne... wszelkie dowody wskazują na to, że ponad 1300 dolarów przeznaczył na powiększanie swej kolekcji na Steam!
Hunter twierdzi, że to jego syn dorwał się do karty kredytowej ojca "by zakupić jedną grę" - a potem dziwnym zbiegiem okoliczności zrobiło się z tego 1302 dolary. W rocznym podliczeniu co prawda wrzucił to wszystko do prywatnych wydatków i chciał uregulować jednak w przypadku partyjnych pieniędzy nie jest łatwo naprostować takie rzeczy.
Kongresmen wpadł i teraz będzie musiał się tłumaczyć z zakupu 68 tytułów, odpowiadając za defraudację. Jak widać hobby jakim są gry potrafi narobić kłopotu.
*The only reason they know about the steam charges is because he disclosed it (properly) in his mandatory filings. It's not uncommon to use campaign credit cards for personal expenses in fact i'd say the majority of politicians have done it at one point or another. Spending the money on steam is a weird use but it's certainly not illegal. He's just required to pay the money back to his campaign. I find the article a little bit disingenuous because while they don't outright call it illegal they're heavily implying that it's this shocking thing when really it's not. $1300 isn't a large amount of money when it comes to campaign finances. Politicians like Marco Rubio have racked up tens of thousands of dollars of personal charges on party cards before.
Edit: I do think articles like this are perfectly valid. Even if politicians aren't doing anything illegal this kind of spending can tell you something about the candidate. My biggest gripe is the title of the article and the fact that no background information about the legality of the spending is given. If you want to read something on a similar subject this article about Marco Rubio from the nytimes is an example of reporting that just gives you the facts and lets you form your own opinions.
