Politico reports that Rep. Schock's reported $3,425 purchase of software from Bytelogics was really part of a $13,000 payment for air travel to Illinois for official events and to a Chicago Bears football game on a plane belonging to Keith Siilats, the chief technology officer of Bytelogics.
“This is for a flight,” Siilats said in a
brief interview Monday. Asked if he has ever sold Schock software,
Siilats said, “No, I never sold him software.”
Under
federal law, “knowing and willful” violations of election statutes —
including reporting violations — can result in criminal charges. That
could include failing to report an expense or disbursement properly, or
repeated violations of regulations covering such actions.
...Schock reimbursed the government roughly
$10,000 for that flight. The additional $3,425, which Schock labeled as a
software purchase, came out of the Schock Victory Fund, a joint
fundraising account.
