It's not embezzling, it's, uh, er, redistributing the wealth!

Karma- the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person's deeds in the (current or) previous incarnation.

The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.

Quote:
Feinstein has previously stated she lost about $4.7 million from her campaign accounts in the fraud, and cut a $5 million check to her own campaign to cover the losses.
"This was a very hard thing for me," Feinstein has said. "When you trust someone and this happens, it’s sort of like a knife being put in your back and twisted because you have that trust."
Feinstein, she so funny! Someone she trusted let her down. How do you think we feel? If karma is real, Feinstein, Pelosi, Boxer, et al. are in for a rough ride now and in the next iteration.

Just the amounts in the article seem to approach $5.4M - no tears here. Apparently revised upwards from Joe the Plumber's $250K.

2010: Stumping for financial reform in Quincy, Illinois, Obama said, “We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I do think at a certain point you've made enough money, but you know, part of the American way is, you can just keep on making it if you're providing a good product.”
I guess her quality-control fell off....

Feinswine probably just put it on her debit card.
