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

I am not advocating for conservatives in VA or NJ to stay home, or even for 2022. I am saying the more these elections are clearly rigged and nothing is done about it, then that means the ballot box is null and void. I will give it to 2022. If the Ds regain control of Congress after all that's happened then it's time to heed Jefferson's words. Because there's no way in Hell conservatives are going to win anything with the illegals coming over.
They most certainly did. The delegates to the Continental Congress were duly elected. They had the support of their population. They were the lesser magistrates. They didn’t just pick up a gun and start randomly shooting red coats. They had political support. You seem to think that you can shoot your way out of this. You can’t. Any Revolution has to have popular will behind it. Revolutions succeed because the people support the Revolution. Hearts and minds have to be won. You can just go on a shooting spree and think you are going to get your way.
Makes me really mad to hear Republican’s say “that’s it I am done voting”. Playing right into the democrats hands.
That is certainly a defeatist attitude. Do you go though your life like that?
Why are you accepting that ? Do you always lie down and say I give up or do you stand up and fight?
Yawn…it doesn’t matter…did the rat cheaters run out of paper and ink for fake ballots???…a conservative will never win any consequential election again with the rotten state of election integrity…
“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.”
Bang! On target, TexasGurl24.
Sorry, voting for those Republicans that disenfranchised us in 2020 is “throwing in the towel.” Their betrayal should not be rewarded. If it is they will do it again. Happily.
There can be nothing more “demoralizing” than watching the Republicans we elected breezily disenfranchise us due to their hatred of Trump and MAGA. They did it once. They’ll do it again. Guaranteed.
Yeah, as part of the separation from the British before they opened a can on them. They actually had talks with the British about wanting to be a set of independent nation-states and the British said NO.
So they tried it their way and fighting was the only option. It's not on this thread, but I clearly said that there needs to be mass civil disobedience and ignoring Fedzilla before picking up arms, which should always be the very last resort.
I am telling you, if the Ds regain Congress in 2022 with the same shenanigans they used in 2020 and probably in these gubernatorial races this year, then voting is DEAD.
Oh, Lord! Mollie Hemingway has his number ... bad, bad news.
He could murder the Pope in broad daylight in front of a CNNABCCBSNBC camera crew and they would deny it happened or spin it to be the Popes fault. And I dont even like the Pope
The elections are fixed. Predetermined. They use whatever legal votes that through then have thousands at the ready to stuff whatever district they need.
They import dependent, uneducated people who are offered an upper-middle class existance in their own countries by sneaking into our nation and popping out kids. Biden wants to give them $900K! It’s cementing the reality that dependency will trigger the Cloward & Piven Strategy. Things collapse and enter “Gray State.”
The Libs won, guys. We bleat and cry but McConnell and the boys won’t fight and just do not have the passion like the Commies to plunder and kill us. They are bloodthirsty and motivated, we are polite and respectful. The difference is they are willing to destroy and actually kill for their Utopian Statist world (BLM, Antifa, ACLU, NLG, Planned Parenthood, universities, unions, woke corporations and huge tech giants that have the same agenda).
Cashing in. Just cannot take the fraud and lies anymore. Why fight when there is no help? I will vote because it’s my civic duty but watching the Dems systemically cheat and lie, it’s appalling.
“There can be nothing more “demoralizing” than watching the Republicans we elected breezily disenfranchise us due to their hatred of Trump and MAGA. They did it once. They’ll do it again. Guaranteed.”
All you do is sit on your fat, useless ass in front of a computer and scream like a little girl that we’re dooooomed!!!! Name one positive, reasoned plan you’ve posted on FR that instructs patriots how to fight the leftists and promote freedom.
Hmmm...if we knew where those vans were......
What will you do instead of voting, then? Anything constructive?
Or do you plan to just give up and demoralize others with defeatist rhetoric?
“That is certainly a defeatist attitude. Do you go though your life like that?”
FR is infested with low-IQ, brainwashed defeatists who LOVE screaming that we’re finished. These stupid, brain-dead old goats sit on their fat asses every day watching TV and reading leftist propaganda media.
Should we be surprised that they’ve become surrender-monkeys? Of course not. They’re nothing more than Soros useful idiots and prove it everyday here on FR.
The pessimist in me says that the democRATS must have the Punk win to make him a viable contender for 2024 and this whole election is kabuki theater.
OTOH, McAuliffe has really stepped in it, on more than one occasion and has become significantly tarnished as a result. So, there is a real chance he could lose to Youngkin. The democRATS certainly are scared...why else bring in Marc Elias.
McAuliffe is a scumbag, and has no business anywhere near a position of the public trust.
I don’t understand why they broadcast their cowardice. It’s not a badge of honor.
I’ve seen some of the same behavior over at AR15.com, but the mods over there just started dropping the ban hammer on the most egregious offenders.
Discouraging others from voting is an extremely insidious form of trolling.
