For the first time in years, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has a quorum to conduct official business. The development comes after the Republican-controlled Senate confirmed three new commissioners to the FEC earlier this month.
Their confirmations mean the regulatory agency can finally get down to enforcing campaign finance laws. Prominently featured in the growing backlog of complaints is the Russian collusion hoax. The commission offers the most direct path to holding those responsible for promulgating the Trump-Russia witchhunt responsible.
Dan Backer, writing for RealClearPolitics, explains:
What started as the “Steele dossier” has led to an unprecedented decline in Americans’ faith in our government, our electoral system, and our very democracy. That mistrust is so severe that it lingers today.
Which brings us back to the FEC. Responsible for enforcing campaign finance laws, the commissioners must hold accountable those who concealed payments to foreign agents and perpetrated a propaganda campaign with one purpose: ending the Trump presidency. While they ultimately failed, the perpetrators successfully interfered in an American election and unquestionably damaged the integrity of American democracy.
Payments from the Clinton campaign and DNC to Steele were laundered through a law firm, Perkins Coie, and publicly reported for the purpose of “legal services.” Clinton campaign and DNC officials later claimed to have no idea their funds were actually being diverted to fund a foreign intelligence campaign. That claim was eventually debunked by the liberal media, which is hardly on President Trump’s side.
Federal law requires the treasurer of any political committee to approve all disbursements. That apparently did not happen. The law also requires political committees to accurately report the purpose of those expenditures. That didn’t happen either. Steele’s opposition research was clearly not a “legal service.”
Both Republican and Democrat operatives have gone to prison in the past for similarly obfuscating suspect campaign payouts. Whether or not that rule shall be applied here remains unclear. But it undoubtedly should.
While I have my doubts that we will ever see those responsible pay the correct price for what they have done, if the FEC were to levy a fine on the law firm that required them to pay for the Mueller investigation, it may begin to make people think twice before getting involved in this type of thing! They knew it was a fake investigation and did nothing to stop it from costing the American citizens over $34 million dollars! A fine like that could make others unwilling to go along with “legal services” in the future.
We, the Americans…
Never See Justice.
And we are paying attention. Justice or war.
They say hope for the best, yet prepare for the worst…. we’re ready!
No justice for us we only get to pay for it all.
Could it be possible that the FEC might begin investigating George Soros for his purchasing many State Attorneys Generals, and his “donations of Millions of dollars to top and lower class Democrats, his statement on the internet that he was “going to make Harris the first woman of color the next POTUS”. Looks like he is close to taking over the US with his money, it is my opinion that he should become a permanent resident of the Guantanamo Resort.
Soros should be executed for his crimes but the democrats will protect him like he is a hero.
soros IS their hero and that is why they will protect him and take us on for wanting to remove him from our country and back to Germany where he helped them get his folks and other family members killed.
Quit the mis-direction. Unless the president gets his justified second term, all this FCC investigation crap is is moot!
Do you really support exposing and curing the crime, or accepting it and hoping for the next fair election that WILL NEVER HAPPEN???
Another do nothing committee. If they were any damn good at all they’d be going over this last election with a fine tooth comb!
While this is a good news. Where the hack is Barr on??? We had 4 years this s**** and crooks including Barr, Mueller, and DemRats in House running that total fake crap. Cost us, US Citizens most likely more then $ 100 mil, probably more that that and criminals still walk free.
Where is a justice here???? I think Trump administration needs to send a bill to everyone responsible, they all knew the truth before hand. Mueller, pelosi, pencilneck, swalwell, nedler and others. They needed to cover up their crap with China, someone was on them very, very close.
The level of action will depend on amount of pay offs and political leanings.
How is that for confidence in these government institutions.
Quit calling the USA a democracy. We are NOT A DEMOCRACY in any way. We are a constitutional REPUBLIC.
Another nail in the Clinton coffin. NAIL IT !!
I dout it they don’t have enough backbone to stand up to a mouse let alone the democrats, just a bunch of wimps they need to grow up and learn to be forceful
The demonazi party exposed themselves they want to impose socialism by force, Hillary pay for the dossier…
The demonrat party exposed themselves they want to impose socialism by force, Hillary pay for the dossier…
Hillary paid for the dossier, so why is she still running around free as a bird? I am so sick and tired of Democrats committing high crimes and NEVER facing any consequences. When will they get their just desserts ?
I have lost faith in our election process and do not trust the Lame Stream Media.
Why did this take so long.
The law firm, Perkins and Will must be held accountable. Disbarred, and all principals and associates jailed for a long time. THEY KNEW FULL WELL WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING.
LAWYERS ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THE MONEY GOES. They can become just as EVIL as Biden’s group, which should ALL BE JAILED. NOW, NOT LATER FOR THE SAKE OF THE U.S.
