    NRA busted giving Trump 9,259 times the legal limit: Bombshell campaign finance lawsu

    Excerpt:

    The Federal Election Commission (FEC) was sued in federal court on Tuesday for allegedly failing to enforce campaign finance laws against the National Rifle Association (NRA).

    Giffords, the nonprofit organization founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) after she survived an assassination attempt, sued the FEC for allegedly allowing the NRA to violate campaign finance law — including to help Donald Trump.

    The new lawsuit, reported by BuzzFeed court and justice reporter Zoe Tillman, mentions the word “Trump” thirty-five times.

    “Plaintiff’s complaints demonstrate that the National Rifle Association (“NRA”) violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by using a complex network of shell corporations to unlawfully coordinate expenditures with the campaigns of at least seven candidates for federal office, thereby making millions of dollars of illegal, unreported, and excessive in-kind contributions, including up to $25 million in illegal contributions to now President Donald J. Trump,” the lawsuit charged.

    The lawsuit attempted to explain the scale of the alleged campaign finance violation.

    “The illegal contributions to the Trump campaign alone are up to 9,259 times the limit set by Congress. Yet the Commission has taken no action on Plaintiff’s complaints,” the lawsuit said. “In light of this unlawful and unreasonable delay, Plaintiff files this action to compel the FEC to comply with its statutory duty to act.”

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    A hard left untested allegation. You do realize this is kooky, don't you?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Apparently a bullet to Gifford's head screwed her up more than some thought.

    There have been so many fake allegations against this administration. Why is this one just another fake?

    I don’t see anything wrong with investigating and uncovering the facts.

    Right. But with years of fake investigations a prudent person would ask if this too is fake.
