TownHall: A pro-Trump political action committee has filed a complaint with the FEC alleging the Hillary Clinton campaign laundered $84 million in contributions from big-name donors, such as Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and designer Calvin Klein.
The complaint outlines a money laundering scheme that violated multiple campaign finance laws, specifically laws related to limits on contributions by independent donors. As of this week, the complaint has escalated with a lawsuit urging the FEC to take action on the complaint which appears to have been largely ignored by the FEC since being filed in December of 2017.
Using both civil and criminal laws, the US government limits how much money an individual can contribute to a particular candidate or political action committee in order to combat corruption and to maintain fair elections. While the actual base limits on individuals will vary with each year, the principle behind limitations remains intact and has been continuously sustained by the Supreme Court. These limit computations require ridiculously absurd government mathematics because of the ways in which “party committee” contributions can increase an individual’s legal opportunities to contribute.
The shrewd individuals running the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) figured out these campaign mathematics, and in 2016 appeared to legally solicit up to $356,100 from Clinton’s supporters at extravagant fundraisers, such as a dinner at George Clooney’s house and a concert featuring Elton John. Compare this to the $2,700 limit the government sets per individual contributor in a general election. How did they do it? HVF figured out how to maximize the permissible contribution numbers by calling themselves a “joint fundraising committee” comprised of Clinton’s campaign, the DNC, and 32 state party committees.

Clinton lies when it is easier to tell the truth. I hope she gets what is coming to her and her merry cabal of liars.
“… the complaint which appears to have been largely ignored by the FEC…”
Of course. The FEC exists only to harass Republicans.
It just occurred to me that we haven’t heard from Project Veritas in a while…..
I hate these fooken animals. I’m running out of descriptive words. But off topic, somewhat, for a moment:
I just came across a movie that holliwood and the MSM ignored. It’s about corruption, scumbags at the United Nations and 250 Irish Army “peacekeepers” in the Congo in the early 1960s. “The Siege of Jadotville.” It can be found on Netflix. Check it out if you can and tell IOTW patriots what you think.
Now back to the other scumbags, The Clintons.
as Al Bundy would say … “Let’s Rock!”
“…the US government limits how much money an individual can contribute to a particular candidate or political action committee in order to combat corruption and to maintain fair elections.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Stop, you’re killing me!
“The decision to prosecute individual contributors is discretionary and will depend on the magnitude of evidence against each individual contributor, evaluated on a case-by-case basis.”
I want to hear Dinesh D’Souza’s comment on that!

TSUNAMI, I read yesterday that O’Keefe is about to strike again. Stay tuned……
Did they throw a cup of Bleach Bit in the wash load?
That would white wash it pretty effectively, Clinton hopes.
More please…
Wide brim hats.
A hot new investment opportunity.
If I lived in Russia, I’d invest in the wide brim ushanka market.
Do you think that the Clintoon’s have been collecting many $100,000.00 speech fees lately……
Or for that fact….any $1,000,000 Clintoon Foundation donations….????
Kinda confirms those “pay-to-play” theories.
Ed357 – There was a story, a week or two/three ago about, HRC collecting $25,000.00 for a recent speech. Next speech, she’ll be lying people to show up.
