Democrat Party Found Guilty Of Election Violations – FEC Rules Tennessee Dems Tried To Cover Up “Misreported Millions”
Washington News ^ | 9/2/21 | Adam Curran

Politics is often full of corruption and other money-related issues. This affects both parties, of course, but it’s the Democrats who have been found guilty of certain violations.

This involves the Tennessee Democratic Party and a large six-figure settlement. It also highlights a lot of “misreported” money that didn’t go to the right places, and failure to report financial info.

The end result — the DNC has admitted its guilt.

Back in January, FEC commissioners voted unanimously that they had “reason to believe the Tennessee Democratic party” was in violation of the law.

That’s because the Party reportedly “failed to report total receipts and disbursements,” and also failed to “itemize receipts received via joint fundraising transfers.” Millions of dollars were in question in this investigation.

Interestingly, this probe was in regards to the 2016 election cycle.

We often see campaign money funneled in various directions during election cycles. But this time, the Democratic Party got caught, and it’s even more incriminating that they refused to provide the financial records.

And the numbers aren’t small, either. Via The Daily Wire:

There were also $1,509,766 in contributions the Party failed to itemize. And the Committee didn’t amend its report to reflect a gross $78,999 in fundraising efforts.

The FEC decided the Democrats were in violation across the board, and that means a big settlement.

This includes a fine in excess of $100,000 and those guilty will have to “undergo training.” However, some think this settlement isn’t an appropriate punishment, and the penalty should’ve been stiffer.

Hardly a punishment that would deter future misdeeds.

That’s not much of a deterrent.

Be very careful about Democrats.

Anyone who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.

Of course, by admitting guilt over the 2016 election, undoubtedly they cleaned up their act by election 2020 and nothing untoward happened that year, did it?

If they can frame Dinesh D’Sousa they can be held accountable for their own crimes

$100,000 to steal elections. That’s a great deal. The democrats are laughing about it. Until there are criminal charges then none of this means anything to them.
