With what happened to Parscale, now it becomes “fresh”, I’m sure they will link the two.
The story from Forbes is from July 28th. I imagine it has something to do with Brad Parscale and since he was in the news yesterday someone is turning the screws and trying to inflict more damage with this being on the Drudge report just my opinion.
the article is from 07/28/2020.
The filing was 07/24/2020.
Actions in question are from 04/2018-07/2020.
I couldn’t find where any action was taken on this by the FEC.
A verb, Mr. Solender, please grant us a verb.
The Campaign Legal Center is an advocacy group aligned with left-of-center interests that supports strict enforcement of campaign finance laws. Legal Center attorneys track and participate in a variety of cases around the country involving campaign finance law at the federal, state, and local levels. . .The CLC was founded in 2002 at the University of Utah with the purpose to advocate for the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as McCain-Feingold. During that time, the CLC actively defended the legislation in court during the 2003 Supreme Court case McConnell v. FEC. [1] In the early years of the organization’s history, the CLC was mainly funded by Pew Charitable Trusts before later expanding its litigation practice to include other election-related activities and redistricting issues. . .After initial branding as a bipartisan organization, the CLC developed a Litigation Strategy Council for potential election-focused litigation. As of March 2019, the CLC has been involved in almost 70 cases and actions related to election activities. . .As of March 2019, the CLC is involved in arguing against the practice of “partisan gerrymandering” in the Supreme Court case Gill v. Whitford. [4] Other cases that the CLC has advocated on include fighting against voter ID laws meant to protect elections from potential voter fraud, suffrage for released felons, and preventing the state of Texas from requiring potential voters provide proof of their citizenship.[5] In 2020, CLC co-signed a letter addressed to president Donald Trump which advocated for hiring Federal Election Commission (FEC) Commissioners to reach quorum and to enforce election laws. . .Trevor Potter serves as president of CLC. Potter previously served as general counsel for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in his 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns. Prior to his work for the McCain campaign, Potter was a partner at Wiley Rein & Fielding and later served as a commissioner on the FEC from 1991-1996. . .Jason Jaffery serves as the chief development officer of the CLC. Jaffery previously worked as the director of development at the left-of-center Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). For seven years, Jaffery was the development director for another left-wing organization, the ACLU of Ohio Foundation, but later moved to the Aspen Institute and then the Democracy Collaborative. . .The CLC was originally funded by Pew Charitable Trusts, but has over time received donations from more overtly left-of-center organizations. [8] Some of the major donor organizations include the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, ActBlue, the MacArthur Foundation, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and NEO Philanthropy’s State Infrastructure Fund. Pierre Omidyar, the left-wing founder of eBay, also donates to the CLC through various foundations. . .: Campaign Legal Center
“its a left wing group”
Ba, but, but it says it’s a “ a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group”. That means they fact check themselves, so it’s gotta be true. /s/
Seriously, agreed. Who knows what wonders they will come up with in the mud slinging department between now and inauguration day. They will keep up a constant barrage hoping something will stick.
If there were any fact to this at all, he would have been busted for it instead of the fake Russian crap, or the IRS would be all over him by now for it.
I really think crap like this backfires, for true American see right through it.
Like the Klinton Krime family foundation?
This right here is why you cannot allow these people to continue with punishment for their crimes. Our side diddly poops around with windbag turds the likes of Barr and Co. who sit on all the crimes due to elections.
The other sides cripples us like this because they know they can and nobody will come after them.
correction “without”
No, but the libs on FB are talking about how POTUS gave Ivanka some $700,000: https://delano.lu/d/detail/news/trump-tax-returns-bombshell-swiss-keep-freedom-movement/211731
TheLibertyDaily has replaced sludge on my laptop.
WTH happened to Forbes?
Where’s the report on the very real money laundering by the DNC through BLM? Oh wait I know, communists don’t get called out.
Yeah right!!! ANyone see th video yesterday of what the cops did to Pasqual?? DISGUSTING! They would NEVER treat a BLACK DEMOCRAT that way!
I stopped right there. Nonpartisan is fake-news speak for Democrat/Communist propaganda factory.
If the rabidly leftist "Legal Center" was really 'nonpartisan,' the MSM would have labeled it a far right extremist mouthpiece for neofascists.
Drudge had a special moment in London and came home a different person.
Wonder what was revealed or recorded?
I seem to recall the terminology was a “magical moment” in London.
More detail needed.

Parscale....look for a side-effect from a medication. Is he taking HCQ or something else?
Where did all Hunter Biden’s money go? Was it going into a Dem slush fund?
............ This info was saved up until now so that Biden can unleash this little tidbit tomorrow during the debate for maximum effect. Hopefully Trump is ready with a great response to sling back at Lazy Hazy Joe .......
