Questions raised on 'Time for Hillary' Clinton PAC creators' records

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

Time for Hillary PAC looks like just one more organization dedicated to making Hillary Clinton the next president, but an investigation by the Center for Public Integrity's Michael Beckel raises questions about whether the group is a real political action committee or a sham designed to funnel money to its financially challenged creators.

 

Time for Hillary's domain name was registered by John Gibson in August, and his wife, Leigh Gibson, is listed in Federal Election Commission filings as its treasurer.

 

But the two have a history of personal bankruptcy, failed business ventures and questionable dealings, according to Beckel.

Two years ago, Gibson signed a partnership deal for a food truck venture with Simon Sioni, a developmentally disabled man from Encino, Calif., who was then 27.

Gibson pocketed $10,000 from Sioni on the promise that the two would share their earnings, Beckel said.

When Sioni's mother explained that her son wouldn't be able to be his business partner, Gibson promised to give back the money.

But he never did, and in April 2012 the Sioni family took the case to the California Superior Court, which sided with the family. Gibson still owes them $10,000, Beckel said.
