Did the Hillary Campaign Illegally Launder $84 Million?

in politics •  7 years ago 

Investors Business Daily explains:

"Democratic donors, knowing the funds would end up with Clinton's campaign, wrote six-figure checks to influence the election — 100 times larger than allowed."
"The Hillary Victory Fund bundled these megagifts and, on a single day, reported transferring money to all participating state parties, some of which would then show up on FEC reports filed by the DNC as transferring the exact same dollar amount on the exact same day to the DNC. Yet not all the state parties reported either receiving or transferring those sums." 

In her 2017 book “Hacks,” Brazile recounts how she saw the money being moved.

“Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC,” reads a passage from the book. “The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to [Clinton campaign headquarters in] Brooklyn.”

So the question is were the state parties being used as "straw men"? Why is this important?

"Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was prosecuted and convicted in 2012 for giving a handful of associates money they then contributed to a candidate of his preference — in other words, straw  man contributions. He was sentenced to eight months in a community confinement center and five years of probation. How much money was involved? Only $20,000. The Hillary Victory Fund weighs in at $84 million — more than 4,000 times larger"

Double standard of justice - you bet - a complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission who took no action against the Hillary Victory Fund and the Democrats. The complaint:

"documented the Democratic establishment "us[ing] state chapters as straw men to circumvent campaign donation limits and launder(ing) the money back to her campaign." The 101-page complaint focused on the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) — the $500 million joint fundraising committee between the Clinton campaign, DNC, and dozens of state parties — which did exactly that the Supreme Court declared would still be illegal." 

So why did the Federal Election Commission not act on this complaint? Is it the Deep State at work again to protect the Clintons?

I think your last statement pretty much sums the answer. Ever with Trump as president, HC is still untouchable. The deep state is a lot deeper than we assume

Jeff Sessions - still missing in action.
