This is a tactic from the left, Lawfare. The idea is to prosecute any and all political opposition using campaign finance laws to arrest,prosecute, and criminalize any conservative fund raising. It gets played up in the cooperative media with the “all conservatives are corrupt hypocrites” template to educate the masses that being conservative is a crime both legally and morally. They also get the added benefit of tying up the conservative organizations in court spending any money available defending themselves and not for their main mission in the political arena.The leftist prosecutors also get to see donor list which they can leak to the leftist media or use to widen their “investigation” to prevent any more donations to these “criminal organizations”.This is why our friends the democracts are so eager to push “campaign finance reform laws”.Of course Teacher’s Unions,Municipal & State Employees Unions,the NAACP or any of Soro’s funded front groups wouldn’t have any trouble as these are civic minded organizations that are only out to improve the public welfare and educate the public politically with the “real facts”.
Even if the Left loses on their Lawfare lawsuit on appeal, they have successfully sent the message that they will use these weapons without provocation and force people to expend resources over years defending themselves with the resultant damage to reputation. Mission accomplished.
Look at what the Austin Marxists are doing to Gov. Perry. Suing him for CONSTITUTIONALLY vetoing legislation! Outrageous!!!
