DC: Federal Election Commission (FEC) officials have withheld public documents for years, some of which would expose details about Democrats’ taxpayer- and foreign-funded travel, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.
The FEC — which includes three commissioners each from Democratic and Republican parties — has withheld records related to 17 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed more than three years ago, according to an agency document obtained by TheDCNF. Of the 17, 10 have been pending for nearly four years, another will be five this year and the oldest turned six in June. read more
Here’s how the FEC describes its function:
“The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is the independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of Republican campaigns for the U.S. House, Senate, Presidency and the Vice Presidency.”
I may have added a word.
Why in the hell is anyone on the FEC have ANY travel paid for, with the possible exception of to and from D.C.? When exposed, Justice needs to prosecute.
