And so they wanted more money for this guy to be able to go with Becerra.

The salary was the salary, whatever the federal salary is.

So they cook up this scheme to take 10 grand a month from Becerra's California campaign account, transfer it to a consulting firm run by this person, Dana Williamson, and then that money, that 10 grand, goes straight out the door to the guy's wife, to Sean McCluskey's wife.

So it's like a backhanded way of topping up his pay.

That's against California campaign finance law because you can't use campaign money for anything other than campaign expenses.

And it's against federal law because you can't get income from another source.

Now, the argument from Becerra is he didn't know about any of this.

I can't believe that he didn't know.

I mean, look, his argument is I'm not in the indictment.

I'm not in the federal indictment.

And the federal indictment says he didn't know.

Katie Porter, who's been very aggressive on this, and some of the other Democrat candidates, is saying it's ridiculous.

And just because you haven't been indicted yet doesn't mean you won't be.

And just on a human level, it feels to me...

Impossible to believe that he didn't know.

The whole point of the scheme was to enable him to take his chief of staff with him to Washington.

That's the whole reason for doing it.

So he knew.

Who knows?

I mean, he's saying he didn't.
