By now it has become widely accepted that the Clinton Foundation was nothing more than a pay-to-play money laundering operation, set up to provide political favors for nation-state donors. Now that the Clintons are locked out of DC deals, the foundation they set up has been tanking. The Duran recommends using WP Engine >> Why donate to a foundation that no longer can provide the service you are paying for? The Clinton campaign was no better than the foundation, laundering money with help from the DNC
bending campaign finance laws, and often breaking such laws. Investors.com details The Anatomy Of Hillary Clintons $84 Million Money-Laundering Scheme
In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of my client, Alabama engineer Shaun McCutcheon, in his challenge to the Federal Election Commissions (FEC) outdated aggregate limits, which effectively limited how many candidates any one donor could support. Start your own website here >> Anti-speech liberals railed against McCutcheons win, arguing it would create supersized Joint Fundraising Committees (JFCs). In court, they claimed these JFCs would allow a single donor to cut a multimillion-dollar check, and the JFC would then route funds through dozens of participating state parties, who would then funnel it back to the final recipient. Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer claimed the Supreme Courts McCutcheon v. FEC ruling would lead to the system of legalized bribery recreated that existed prior to Watergate. The Supreme Court, in ruling for us, flatly stated such a scheme would still be illegal. The Democrats response? Hold my beer. The Committee to Defend the President has filed an FEC complaint against Hillary Clintons campaign, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic state parties and Democratic mega-donors. As Fox News reported, we documented the Democratic establishment us[ing] state chapters as straw men to circumvent campaign donation limits and launder(ing) the money back to her campaign. The 101-page complaint focused on the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) the $500 million joint fundraising committee between the Clinton campaign, DNC, and dozens of state parties which did exactly that the Supreme Court declared would still be illegal. HVF solicited six-figure donations from major donors, including Calvin Klein and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, and routed them through state parties en route to the Clinton campaign. Roughly $84 million may have been laundered in what might be the single largest campaign finance scandal in U.S. history. Heres what we know. Campaign finance law is incredibly complex and infamous for its lack of clarity. As Ive explained before, its complexity is a feature, not a bug. Major political players with the resources to hire the very few attorneys who practice campaign finance law benefit from the complexity that keeps others out. Perhaps HVFs architects thought so too, and assumed that if no one understands whats happening, no one would complain. Heres what you can do, legally. Per election, an individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state party committee, and (during the 2016 cycle) $33,400 to a national partys main account. These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of those contribution limits its legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit for any one recipient. And state parties can make unlimited transfers to their national party. Heres what you cant do, which the Clinton machine appeared to do anyway. As the Supreme Court made clear in McCutcheon v. FEC, the JFC may not solicit or accept contributions to circumvent base limits, through earmarks and straw men that are ultimately excessive there are five separate prohibitions here. On top of that, six-figure donations either never actually passed through state party accounts or were never actually under state party control, which adds false FEC reporting by HVF, state parties, and the DNC to the laundry list. Finally, as Donna Brazile and others admitted, the DNC placed the funds under the Clinton campaigns direct control, a massive breach of campaign finance law that ties the conspiracy together. Democratic donors, knowing the funds would end up with Clintons campaign, wrote six-figure checks to influence the election 100 times larger than allowed. HVF bundled these megagifts and, on a single day, reported transferring money to all participating state parties, some of which would then show up on FEC reports filed by the DNC as transferring the exact same dollar amount on the exact same day to the DNC. Yet not all the state parties reported either receiving or transferring those sums. Did any of these transfers actually happen? Or were they just paper entries to mask direct transfers to the DNC? For perspective, conservative filmmaker Dinesh DSouza was prosecuted and convicted in 2012 for giving a handful of associates money they then contributed to a candidate of his preference in other words, straw man contributions. He was sentenced to eight months in a community confinement center and five years of probation. How much money was involved? Only $20,000. HVF weighs in at $84 million more than 4,000 times larger! So who should be worried? Everyone involved from the donors themselves to Democratic fundraisers to party officials who filed false reports and, ultimately, to Clinton campaign and HVF officials looking at significant legal jeopardy. Dont take my word for it. Our complaint is built entirely on the FEC reports filed by Democrats, memos authored by Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and public statements from Donna Brazile and others. The only question that matters: Was the law broken? If the answer is yes, then the corrupt Clinton machine should be held accountable. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
