The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has entered into conciliation agreements with Charles Kushner, a New Jersey-based real estate developer, and 40 partnership entities he controls.
The agreements settle an investigation stemming from over $500,000 in contributions that the partnerships made without obtaining the agreement of the individual partners to whom the contributions were attributed. The contributions were made between December 5, 1997 and August 17, 2000 for the 1999-2000 election cycle. Recipients of these contributions included 13 candidate committees, one party committee and one PAC.
The conciliation agreement with the Kushner Respondents resulted in a civil penalty of $508,900. The Kushner Respondents also agreed to cease and desist from making partnership contributions without obtaining the actual agreement of the partners to whom the contributions were attributed.
The Commission also accepted a conciliation agreement with Bill Bradley for President in which the committee admitted to violation the Act by accepting $34,000 in contributions from the Kushner Partnerships and paid a civil penalty of $16,445.
Mr. Bundle finally gets some due...
A big donor to the (gag) Clintons.
So a really rich Rat breaks the law and all he gets is a fine that is probably less than than the least profitable business he runs?
(Sniffle) We must realize he bundled contributions "for the children" (sob).

Don't worry, no sooner will he have paid the fine then Gov McGrievance's new taxes will kick in and take the rest. It's all for the "common good" afterall, isn't it? ;)
