"SNIP.....
WASHINGTON Heres something you might not know about U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: Shes an advisor to a Charles Koch-funded foreign policy think tank based at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
One of the reasons thats a surprise is because its nowhere to be found on her latest financial disclosure form.
The revelation comes in a new report from Sludge, an investigative news site that tracks money in politics, that highlights the Koch connection to the universitys Center for the Study of Statesmanship. The center was founded in 2017 through a $2.35 million grant from the billionaires foundation.
Gabbard, whos running for president in the Democratic primary, is one of a dozen advisorsto the center with strong ties to the Charles and David Koch network which the author calls The Kochtopus.

meeting with Assad. I don't trust her.

is something no Democrat should do. And they should all be accurate on their financial disclosure forms.

(42,641 posts)5. From the article:
Gabbards financial disclosure from 2017 which is the most recent one available shows that the congresswoman held positions within three organizations: The Sanders Institute, the Healthy Hawaii Coalition and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum Profile in Courage Award Committee.
The congresswoman was on the advisory council in 2017.
According to the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure guideline, members must report any positions they held with organizations, including educational institutions, regardless of whether they received compensation. The guidelines, however, do provide an exemption for honorary positions.

A curious omission.

(108,980 posts)6. She takes money from the KOCH BROTHERS???? That should be disqualifying in itself.
No wonder she didn't report it on the disclosure forms.
