The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had previously lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission contending that the dossier of dirt thrown at Trump was compiled by a foreigner at the behest of the Clinton campaign, and, therefore, a violation of regulations prohibiting accepting anything of value from a foreign source, has now filed a lawsuit.
Federal Election Commission Chairman Ellen Weintraub called the lawsuit “merit-less. They might have had a case if Clinton had won, but now the issue is moot. I mean, what damage has the plaintiff suffered? Regardless of whether Secretary Clinton committed a crime or not, what remedy would make them whole? If a cheater doesn’t win by cheating has the winner actually been cheated?”
“I think one could argue that the Coolidge Reagan Foundation has already achieved substantial benefit from the failure of the dossier scheme,” Weintraub argued. “If Clinton had won she could have wrought considerable damage on this organization via her control over the FBI and IRS. Investigations could’ve been launched that would have intimidated donors and imposed large legal fees on that organization. It is almost certain that lawyers for Secretary Clinton would point this out in their successful defense before my Agency.”

Brilliant bit of drollery, that.
