Two top members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's team are leaving the lawmaker's office.
Saikat Chakrabarti, 33, her Chief of Staff left on Friday, and Corbin Trent, Director of Communications, is due for a move too.
Chakrabarti will work for a nonprofit focused on raising awareness of climate change and trying to further the Green New Deal.
Meanwhile Trent has agreed to work throughout August before transitioning across to her 2020 reelection campaign, according to the Intercept.
This is the same role he held during her first congressional run in 2018.

Going where the real money is. Leftist "nonprofits" are very lucrative.

That million dollars Saikat siphoned into his 3 personal accounts could start a nonprofit.

They have created a monster. She has started believing her own BS, and imagines she is smarter than anyone else could ever be.
A loose cannon with all the intellectual capacity of Ted Baxter.
Fun times.
You go, Airhead!
LOL!

There is something strange about this. For a closet-totalitarian like him (see 'Brand New Congress') to go off chasing the Great Green Nude Eel, like some latter-day Capt. Ahab just does not make sense. He may be laying low (for now), because of the FEC complaints against his PAC's.

Her replacements will follow Debbie Two-Name and Di Fi's practice of hiring unvetted Pakistani jihadi spies and Chinese spies.

They heard that AOC is going to lose the next election and decided to fine employment elsewhere.

He may be leaving her payroll but he isn’t going anywhere. She’s been bought and paid for.

The media is beyond stupid. This guy is going into the shadows. The leftists love AOC, she's one of them! If he's out of sight he can do even more damage.

Bingo, #12. A little too coinky dinky that this is all happening right after AOC's pow wow with Pelosi. Pelosi flexing her muscles behind the scenes, out of sight. I suspect little Miss Muffet got read the riot act and these two beauties had to go. Now maybe some money will flow to Miss Muffet's re-election campaign.

The help starts to look for new opportunities when they sense something is not going in the direction they thought it would go.
I wouldn't be surprised if AOC, herself, has other plans brewing. Perhaps, she's considering an offer she can't refuse. She could be the new Megan Kelly for MSNBC with a 6 million dollar contract. Nowadays, anything is possible.

#10 I tend to agree with you. He maybe gone physically from her office but my guess is that she will still rely on him for the "sound bites", tweets and leftist policy. If Pelosi has truly gotten to her and he's out of contact then she will have been silenced. But the msm does love her and her leftist extremism! To early to tell how this darling of the msm will sound like going forward. To me she's just an airhead who needs someone to write scripts for her.

Sorry ... this is a smokescreen.
Charlie McCarthy couldn't talk when Edgar Bergen wasn't around! AOC needs her puppet masters. What's REALLY going on is that her staff --- who were causing all the problems --- were listed as government employees as they were paid Congressional salaries and thus subject to review (sooner or later) by the Budget Office. Now, they don't have to file any personal financial reports, say what they spent government money on, etc. Pelosi may have threatened them with a look-see so they bolted for the tall grass and broke their link to her accountability, no matter how minor. Now they're free to do whatever they want and --- trust me ---they have NO intention of giving up their best mouthpiece. They'll just do it remotely now.

Just swapping the players around. We caught on to who was pulling AOC's strings, so they moved him behind the curtain. If you believe this signifies real change, you probably believe ACORN was disbanded.

They will just be in a different location, doing the same work, with a paycheck from a different account.
These government staffers and deep staters stay on a non-profit payroll so that all those huge student loans will be written off after 10 years.
Just think of the kind of jobs/salaries one would need to save up enough (after payroll and income tax deductions) to pay off $150,000 or more in student loans in 10 years. Most of these non-profits are left wing, so we taxpayers get to help pay their staffers through student loan forgiveness.

As several posters have concluded, we would be well advised to view this news with skepticism. This modern day Rasputin is as sly as the most devious fox To ever enter the hen house. Look for him and Trent to set up an email/message comm system with Occasional Cortex that cannot be traced by the dimwit IT clowns who work for congress. This Chakrabarti guy is no dummy, and his activist strategy is only surpassed by his zeal for revolution. The dims would be wise to pull some shenanigans to defeat Cortex in 2020, but, alas, that would require them to exhibit human traits most of them do not possess.

These two are racists who are resigning only because Racial Alexandria is a Woman Of Color.
They would never resign if Racial Alexandria were white.
Fight racism - - because it's everywhere!

Please take a look at the picture of Saikat Chakrabarti that is mid page in the article, where he is wearing the green T-shirt with the picture on it. Apparently, he thinks that most Americans will not recognize Subhas Chandra Bose, who was a Nazi collaborator during World War II.
Bose was an Indian Nationalist who defected to Germany from British India during the war.
Look him up. There are pictures of him shaking hands with Hitler and Himmler. He formed the Azhad Hind movement of Indian defectors who supported the Axis Powers for the purpose of "freeing" India from British rule. If Chakrabarti is an admirer of Subhas Chakra Bose then AOC's anti-Israel hatred makes perfect sense.

DO NOT think this a Pelosi deal. It is not. This is NOT chaos. This is NOT AOC going down. This is according to Justice Democrat planning. The pundits are getting this wrong and that's exactly what JD wants.
Saikat Chakrabarti bares close scrutiny and constant vigilance. Disregard him at your own peril. This article has been posted here before. It needs to be posted many more times.

Staff resigning? So you're saying AOC is losing her mind, right?
