Why is the FEC Ignoring Hillary Clinton’s $84 Million Campaign Finance Scandal?
The Day ^ | 2/17/19 | Dan Backer

One year and two months. That’s how long it’s been since a formal complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), alleging Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign orchestrated an $84 million campaign finance scandal — the largest in U.S. history. Yet the FEC has done nothing to hold the Clinton campaign, dozens of Democratic officials, and hundreds of six-figure Democratic mega-donors accountable for breaking the law.

Let’s start at the beginning. Last December, the Committee to Defend the President filed a complaint with the FEC, centered on $84 million in allegedly excessive six-figure contributions laundered through the Hillary Victory Fund to dozens of Democratic state parties acting as straw men, over the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and into the hands of Clinton’s campaign. The straw man contributions were made by liberal elites from Hollywood to Wall Street and everywhere in between, including fashion icon Calvin Klein, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, the owners of New York City media giants and their landlords, and countless others.

Don’t just take my word for it: Meticulously documenting the “unprecedented, massive, nationwide multi-million dollar conspiracy,” the 101-page complaint is built entirely on FEC reports filed by Democrats, memos authored by Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and public statements from former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile, among others. After the FEC refused to act on the complaint within a statutory 120-day timeframe, the committee sued the agency to force action, claiming the FEC’s failure to act is “arbitrary, capricious, contrary to law, and an abuse of discretion.”

The FEC has sat on the initial complaint since December 2017.

Waiting for someone else to duplicate Hillary's crimes? If she runs again, it could be her.

More generally, why does practically everyone ignore the Clinton scandals? Could fill an encyclopedia with the details of their numerous crimes.

Everyone who could have put Hillary in the Big House has not even touched her.

Apparently the FEC sees no reason to venture into waters where nobody else has dared to go.
