Oh, yeah, like...what's the FEC gonna do, huh? Whup Kerry on his butt-shot spot?
They basically told the FEC to adhere to their own laws - either dismiss the charges, or hit them with 18 USC 1000.
After all, perjury IS a felony.
In regard to the FEC, anyone who was unfortunate enough (moi) to watch last week's hearing, this commission was rendered redundant from its inception. They, by law, must be made up of three people from each party.
They're basically blowhards (some not all) and acknowledge as they debate that they realize they're not going to change the minds of the other commissioners. Its painful to watch.
