FEC Commissioner On Trump-Stormy Daniels Case: “Not A Campaign Finance Violation…Not A Reporting Violation Of Any Kind”

The case against Donald Trump is weak.

FEC Commissioner James E. Trainor rejected the idea that there was a violation of federal election law in the Stormy Daniels case.

He said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is really trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”

The Washington Examiner reported:

A key member of the Federal Election Commission today rejected the Manhattan district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump as a violation of federal election laws.

“It’s not a campaign finance violation. It’s not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor.

In trying to stretch the law to make it look like a violation, he added, District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is really trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”

“I don’t know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them found there to be any violations whatsoever, and I think the jury is going to see that and they’re going to have to rely upon the fact that both the law enforcement experts and the civil enforcement experts, as far as campaign finance are concerned, didn’t find any violation of the law here,” said Trainor.

Ivy League schools & law schools have always played the nepotism card. So have the DOJ, FBI, and Intel Agencies as well as the rest of the government, all government down to state county and local! Unfortunately, its human nature if you’re a 3rd Worlder you can get away with it. You can hire your family, clan, tribe & nation and no one questions, you’re just being “diverse”! Expressing your colorful local culture. Sex, Color & Kink is what’s new!

That wasn't true when our country was young and strong. What we know about incompetent people is they'll do whatever it takes to protect the job they don't deserve to have.

It's all 'WE NEED TO 'LOOK LIKE AMERICA' UNTIL THERE'S ENOUGH TO TAKE OVER...

Congressional staffer don't 'Look like America' they look like a San Francisco Gay Bath house...
