Federal lawsuit alleges Maine Democratic Party laundered money for Hillary Clinton’s campaign
Bangor Daily News ^ | May 29, 2018 | By Steve Mistler

The attorney behind a political action committee backing President Donald Trump is accusing the Maine Democratic Party and its counterparts in 32 other states of engaging in an elaborate money laundering scheme to benefit Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

Dan Backer, attorney for the Committee to Defend the President, in December filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission alleging $84 million in illegal donations. But he has since sued the FEC in federal court in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to compel the notoriously plodding election law enforcement agency to investigate a fundraising agreement that involved most Democratic state party committees.

Backer said Democratic committees conspired with Clinton’s campaign to exploit rules that allows state party committees to transfer unlimited sums between one another to circumvent individual donor limits and funnel the cash back to Clinton’s principal campaign committee.

He also said the state committees never had custody of the money.

“And that makes this entire money laundering operation a scheme to circumvent base contribution limits to make massively excessive six-figure contributions through straw entities on paper in order to deliver them to Hillary Clinton’s control,” he said. “It is exceedingly illegal to do have done so.”

I would love to see the 32 State Democratic Parties and the DNC all go bankrupt or disbanded for corruption.

One can only hope.

They will undoubtedly be acquitted.

Just like Buttcrack Hussein, there’s more foreign and ghetto laundered-money than you can shake a stick at.
