JUST IN: Jeb Bush Super PAC Hit with Massive FEC Fine For Accepting $1.3 Million in Illegal Donations From Chinese Corporation

The Intercept has determined that a corporation owned by a Chinese couple made a major donation to Jeb Bush’s Super PAC Right to Rise USA — and it did so after receiving detailed advice from Charlie Spies, arguably the most important Republican campaign finance lawyer in American politics.

The Spies memo was dated February 19, 2015. One month later, American Pacific International Capital Inc., a California corporation owned by Gordon Tang and Huaidan Chen, a married couple who are citizens of China and permanent residents of Singapore, made a $1 million donation to Right to Rise USA. APIC subsequently gave the group an additional $300,000, its total donation of $1.3 million making APIC one of the Bush Super PAC’s largest contributors.

The FEC responded to the CLC’s complaint on Friday and hit Jeb Bush’s PAC with a massive $390,000 fine in addition to $550,000 in penalties levied against APIC.

This is one of the largest fines ever handed down by the FEC.

Hmm...$1.3 mil for three convention candidates? I’d say they got ripped off, myself. Yeb!, the most exciting candidate in the election (please clap) could have built more candidates than that for the money from black-market body parts.

I seem to have forgotten. What was the result of the FEC investigation into the Clinton/ChiCom ‘campaign contributions’?

Trump took him down hard - with very little effort. It was fun to watch.

I guess if you give the Chicoms missile technology in exchange for illegal cash its no harm, no foul.
