[Levin said this isn’t a crime nor is it unethical, ]
Ummm.... the FEC might have a different opinion, Mark.
Yeh I hate to have to inform Mark that its not optional to properly disclose loans and liabilities on FEC filings. He’s way off base on this one.
If you listened to the tape, Levin was quoting an FEC Commissioner.
... Ummm.... the FEC might have a different opinion, Mark.
Have you seen a charge or fine? Do you think bambi’s army would not have jumped on this?
Is there any lie your hero repeats that you will not defend?
Is it bothering you that donnie is becoming the establishment candidate, preferable to Cruz, because the entire DC cartel believes rightfully that DT will cut deals and his innate love of liberals?
BTW -
New poll -
NH voters who will never vote DT - up to 30%.
NH voters who will never vote Cruz - steady at 4%.
Internals from a NH poll last week showed Cruz beating your guy by 8%.
Et tu Levin
FROM FEC...
Do I need to disclose my personal financial information?
Yes. Candidates for federal office must file disclosures of their personal finances. Contact the appropriate office for more information: candidates for the US House of Representatives should contact the House Committee on Ethics at (202) 225-7103; candidates for the US Senate should contact the Senate Select Committee on Ethics at (202) 224-2981; candidates for US President and Vice President should review a Legal Advisory issued by the Office of Government Ethics and contact the FEC’s Office of General Counsel at (800) 424-9530 (x1650). (Personal financial disclosure reports filed by Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates (excluding the incumbent) are available from the FEC’s Public Records Office at (800) 424-9530 (press 2) and, after certification, on the Office of Government Ethics’ website.) See also this Record article on Preparing for the Next Election.
Reading this, one would think that reporting your personal financial info to the FEC is done by reporting it to the Senate Ethic committee. Ted did exactly that and thought he had complied. But apparently the FEC wanted that personal info as well.
Reading this, I likely would have done the same thing. It says to call the Ethics Committee for instructions. he did that and submitted the info as required.
I would ask....What would you have done?
I suppose ted should have hired a DC FEC expert accountant or some other highly paid specialist to fill out the FEC form. [sarc]
Yeah, why don’t you ping us all when the FEC slaps the cuffs on Cruz over this.
Ha!
Levin fashions himself a guardian of the constitution when he is in fact a homer just like the rest of us with a dog in the fight. Levin is nothing more that a pro Cruz hack.
