Absolutely not. They are lying again.

The FEC has been 100% quiet all along.

The experts at the FEC know the difference between a campaign contribution and a blackmail payment.

Doesn’t it read “high crimes AND misdemeanors”?

The two women spent time on Trump’s “casting couch” and were not cast.

They felt Trump owed them.

Trump’s lawyer paid them and got reimbursed.

That’s true but then again the second ammendment says “shall pass no laws” and yet they do. Plain english isn’t an obstacle to leftist fascism.

If this news publisher Pecker (heh) is now claimed to have provided ‘in-kind’ campaign contributions by helping Trump using his news company, may I ask how much campaign-contribution value Dona Brazile and her ‘news’ networks provided Hillary by leaking the debate questions?

All this exponentially-worse Rat corruption being totally ignored and left to rot on the legal vine, just makes me furious.

Could someone enlighten me where in the Constitution is Congress granted the authority to regulate the process by which State Legislatures appoint their Electors for President and Vice President?

Article I §4 clearly grants Congress the authority to regulate elections for representatives and Senators.

But there is no corresponding grant of authority over State Legislatures’ processes and rules for chusing Electors.

Where is there authority in the Constitution for a “Federal Elections Commission” to exercise any power whatsoever over the methods by which State Legislatures (indirectly) choose the President?

So the Feds are in a conspiracy to smear the President by claiming something is a crime when it is not.

And the defendant and his lawyers are in on it. The media is in on it.

Unprecedented.

And here we sit doing nothing.

Considering how the Mueller investigation is a “poisoned tree” (original reasons for it were fabricated) I still don’t see how anybody should be getting indicted for anything. Their cases should be thrown out.

I’m not a lawyer, maybe somebody can explain this to me? It’s my understanding that if there’s false reasons to investigate, and during the investigation wrongdoing was found for something completely unrelated, the case is invalid due to the false reasons for the investigation in the first place.

That implies that the misdemeanors also have to be ‘high’.
