I made a joke about Bernie taking his campaign money to buy a house. He said that kind of stuff doesn’t happen because of FEC rules. So if you guys can provide me with links of politicians taking campaign money I would appreciate the help!

Maxie Waters had her daughter on the campaign staff payroll for years, she got paid something like $750K. You can do it via insider trading like how Warren Buffet got rich by hanging around Obama. There's the indirect method like Pelosi sending light rail into Tom Steyer's real estate holdings and made them worth a fortune. Or money laundering when any politician gets a book deal.
Anyways, Bernie isn't smart enough to take advantage of campaign finance laws, evidently he got that money from his wife defrauding Burlington College.
