Eager donors go overboard for Clinton
New York Daily News
WASHINGTON There is no such thing as an embarrassment of riches in politics, but this comes close.
**SNIP**
The New York Daily News found in a review of Federal Election Commission records that the FEC has sent Clintons campaign committee, Friends of Hillary, a letter demanding that it deal with 39 donors who gave her too much in the past quarter, when the campaign raked in $6 million.
The most common error is that donors gave her more than allowed for either the primary or general election $2,100 is the maximum for each, with $4,200 the combined limit.
The election commission wants the campaign to either divide the money between both contests or give some back.
Ann Lewis, a campaign spokeswoman, admitted that the committee struggles to keep good track of the thousands of donors but implied that the FEC has as much trouble coping with Clintons 3,000-page filings.
These are clerical cleanups, and we already told the FEC about them, Lewis said. Bottom line: We work very hard to make sure we meet every requirement.

Rules are for the little people, eh, Hillie?
It's all she knows how to do
The Red Chinese would like that.
Makes me wonder why it would take an Immigration Bill to make her feel like a criminal.
There's that name again ... riff-raff still hangin' with riff-raff!
It's very sad that politicians like Hillary are all we can come up with. No wonder our government sucks. She and her husband are the worst of the worst.
That should be on every campaign poster/ad of any Hillary opponent.
TRANSLATION:...we'll give the money back if we really have to...but till then we'll keep it and make interest on it, or until the MSM really starts to harp about it...till then, Oh well....tra la la
These are clerical coverups, no wait, I mean cleanups!!
