With Virginia Election Only Days Away, McAuliffe Hit with Scandal That Could Sink Him for Good
Western Journal ^ | 10/30/2021 | Kip Jones

An election watchdog group is asking for an investigation into Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe over what it says are serious campaign finance violations.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that the National Legal and Policy Center has asked the Federal Election Commission to “promptly” look into whether McAuliffe violated federal law when he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from a US. subsidiary of a foreign-owned company.

The Democrat in July reportedly received $350,000 from a New Jersey company called LycaTel, a subsidiary of an international corporation based in the U.K.

LycaTel is owned by a Sri Lankan and British national named Allirajah Subaskaran.

“Terry McAuliffe has a history of accepting foreign contributions. The FEC must fully investigate these serious charges that he accepted $350,000 in illegal foreign contributions for his current campaign,” NLPC lawyer Paul Kamenar said.

While a U.S.-based subsidiary can donate money to candidates, concerns arise when an international parent company could benefit from the election of a particular candidate.

“This is effectively a really easy way to launder foreign money into the U.S. political process and to avoid the FEC prohibition on foreign nationals making contributions in U.S. elections,” said Ben Freeman, director of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative at the Center for International Polic

The only thing that’s going to sink McAwful’s campaign is in losing the election. With all the election fu**ery going on right now including the 300,000 “drop mail” ballots and the absentee ballots that weren’t completed properly while still being counted doesn’t bode well for our side at the moment...

Demonicrat voters consider breaking the law as a resume enhancer for Demonicrat politicians.

98% of his voters won’t understand that doing illegal stuff is wrong.

CONGRATULATIONS . . . That filthy Demorat already has enough ballots printed, filled out, and in car trunks waiting to find out where they’re needed. C’mon man. This is not an election. The Dems will do for him what they did for Bitme. It’s already over.

Does anybody really believe that ANY election can be held from now on without it being wholesale fraud? I’m done voting.

The vile Donks will steal this election. Having stolen the presidency, there is no stopping them now from committing vote fraud with impunity, whenever it is required to put their scumbag candidates over the top. The Punk will remain governor.

Anyone who plays the “I’m NOTAA VOTINZ NO MOARH” is either a Democrat plant or a coward.

I’m not sure which is worse.

There is absolutely ZERO reason to broadcast that trash, except to drag other people down into your pit of despair and cowardice with you.

You are a weak fraud.

Yep. That’s why McAuliffe stopped all campaign events and just hired Clinton flunky Marc Elias. He’s got this in the bag, and unfortunately Youngkin has already said he’ll accept the election results.

Queer Hoft on Grifter Pundit has one purpose, to demoralize conservatives with his trash, while raking in the money with his click bait and his “BOOM” and “BREAKING” that the weak minded social media whores fall for.

Ignore him.

You seriously believe we can vote our way out of this, assuming McAuliffe steals the election and Dems regain Congress in 2022?

Why do you think all the illegals are pouring in and voting laws being nuked by judges?

I am not going to participate in a corrupt, rigged system.

Problem is most have already voted so it’s all about the counting.

Well, who's in the White House? And how did it get there? Sorry to disappoint you. I live in a real world. Why don't you join?

I disagree with you, saying you are done voting. That’s exactly what the liberals want you to do. They want you to be disgusted and not vote.

I think you make some good points but I will still always vote.

This is one reason why early voting is a bad idea.
