Nick Ayers, not just a fresh faced kid, looks like he's up to his neck in it as well.

Top Pence aide Nick Ayers denies breaking the law while running Greitens campaign

JEFFERSON CITY
Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff denies allegations in a newly filed ethics complaint that he violated Missouri campaign finance laws while helping to run former Gov. Eric Greitens’ 2016 campaign.

Nick Ayers served as Greitens' top political consultant in 2016 and was later paid by Greitens' nonprofit, A New Missouri Inc. His protégé, Austin Chambers, was Greitens’ top adviser during his 17 months as governor.

In June 2017, Ayers became Pence's chief of staff. He is considered a possible replacement as President Donald Trump's chief of staff if John Kelly leaves that post.

In a complaint filed Tuesday with the Missouri Ethics Commission against Greitens' campaign and nonprofit, Ayers is accused of helping both entities commit multiple campaign finance violations — most notably illegally working to conceal the identity of donors.

Among the pieces of evidence included in the complaint is a December 2015 email discussion between Ayers and Meredith Gibbons, Greitens’ fundraiser, about a “restricted donor.”

“There is a restricted donor that we’d like for you to reach out to when you have time,” Gibbons wrote to Ayers. “I can explain more over the phone.”

Ayers replied: “Will buzz you soon re: restricted donor.”

The two never elaborate on what they mean by “restricted donor.”

1. No wonder trump wanted him as COS. Birds of a feather.

3. Yep.

2. The graft never ends

4. Pence is dirty, too

Manafort picked him and convinced Trump to put him on the ticket.

Ayers has been Pence's right-hand man as CoS. He knows about the dirt and probably participated in much of it.

Oddly, he's smart enough to realize it's time to get out.

5. He's not a kid at all. He's 36.

Were the Baby Boomers referred to as kids when they were in their late 30's/early 40's? Curious, because this seems to be a thing that people around my age are being called kids after they've been an adult for two decades already and they even have kids themselves and even some of their kids are technically adults. Seems Baby Boomers want to call us kids forever so they can feel younger.

That picture of him with Pence in the background with his hand on his shoulder gives me the creeps.

8. Ain't America great? That's exactly what these grifters are thinking as they steal our

democracy out from under us.

As someone who has been painfully, perhaps overly and maybe even naively, honest throughout my many years, I really yearn for the time when pitchforks and torches come out. I wouldn't be averse to bringing back stocks and public shaming.

9. I wonder if he's a pal of Jack Abramoff. All the lobbyists do shady deals. nt

10. Restricted as maybe in a foreign donor???

Sam Alito and Citizens United would say "You lie!".
