Wow, how scary is this, that the head of the FEC doesn't know the FIRST THING about elections? Maybe she should run for local dog catcher. She is clearly not suitable to be on the FEC.

From the FEC site:

Ellen L. Weintraub (@EllenLWeintraub) has served as a commissioner on the U.S. Federal Election Commission since 2002 and chairs it for the third time this year.

During her tenure, Weintraub has served as a consistent voice for meaningful campaign-finance law enforcement and robust disclosure. She believes that strong and fair regulation of money in politics is important to prevent corruption and maintain the faith of the American people in their democracy.

Weintraub sounded the alarm early–and continues to do so–regarding the potential for corporate and “dark-money” spending to become a vehicle for foreign influence in our elections.

Weintraub is a native New Yorker with degrees from Yale College and Harvard Law School. Prior to her appointment to the FEC, Weintraub was Of (sic) Counsel to the Political Law Group of Perkins Coie LLP and Counsel to the House Ethics Committee.

Very interesting! Does the law firm "Perkins Coie" ring a bell with anybody?

On December 18, 2018 she was once again elected Chair.[15]
Weintraub’s term ended April 30, 2007, but she continues in office until her successor takes office.[16][17] She is not eligible for reappointment.

Personal life[edit]
Weintraub is married to Bill Dauster, former director of policy for Senator Chris Van Hollen and former legislative director for Senator Russ Feingold.[18] She is a Reform Jew.[19]

She understands. She just doesn’t like the outcome. If the Witch would have won the same way, she would not open her mouth, except to praise the wisdom of the writers of the Constitution.

Great find and it explains a great deal.
I’m sure the GOP-e will get right on this as soon as they can figure out how to do a Google Search....

Maybe she should be removed from FEC if she can’t understand what our constitution says about elections.

Weintraub was Of (sic) Counsel

FYI...

There is no sic there.

See Of counsel.

Ummm. Perkins Coie, Registered Agent of the Chinese Military.

Bob Bauer, 28+ year Perkins Coie Chairman, was Barry's first White House Counsel, mentor of Judith Corley of the same firm. She brought Barry's Long Form Birth Certificate (LFBC) from the hands of CIA-asset "Loretta Fuddy" out of Hawaii. Bauer presented the fraudulent LFBC to the White House Press Corps, with no cameras allowed.

After leaving the WH, Bauer was appointed by DCI Brennan to chair a CIA panel (not that Bauer was CIA, of course).

All of you know about Fusion GPS' Perkins Coie connection, of course, but check this out.
