Remember when people got on Bill's case about taking campaign money from the Chinese?
Well, Donnie has gone and solicited campaign donations from foreigners too. Not just any foreigners, but parliamentarians in the UK and Iceland. Such solicitations are illegal under federal law, so there's that too.

Actually it's a two-fer...Donnie is committing felonies, so he takes that one off the table too.

You're convincing me Jeff. I might have to vote for Hillary.

I strongly recommend against that.

So, now Trump is under FEC investigation for illegal fundraising. Good thing he's self-funding, right guys?

hmmmmm.
dream scenario: Trump is indicted and withdraws from the GOP nomination; and also the corrupt doormat is indicted and withdraws from the DNC nomination.
(I know, I know, the liberals don't care in their nominee is a crook)
-
The dream scenario is that both of then get indicted, withdraw and we all get do-overs at the convention.
So is Donald actively begging money from MPs or is it possible that someone's email address was on a mass emailing by accident? I don't think I'd make the jump to felony right now when stupidity works.
-
I doubt there is anything to this. So long as the campaign didn't receive funds from foreign nationals the FEC won't do anything. Heck, even if they did the FEC would probably be just as happy if they gave it back.
Still, a stupid thing to do. But given his lack of campaign infrastructure and preference for loyalists over seasoned political operatives this is hardly a surprise.
-
Well, Trump has already been fined for violating lobbying laws, so he's effectively been convicted of political corruption.

Even better...he was lobbying against a casino and ran a series of ads about how gambling was evil!

True conservatives would love that. The vitriol between him and Congress would continue unabated and even less would be done, a conservative win if ever there was one.

No, conservatives wouldn't love that as it's unconstitutional.

don't you love it when a liberal tries to claim he knows what a conservative would love or not love?

I've heard over and over again from conservatives that the government that governs least governs best. Welcome to the Obama Administration!

um, apparently you haven't been paying attention to the various orders, directives, and "interpretations" coming from the obama administration.

What??? How about all the spending. More regulations than any other President too. IRS, EPA, DOJ overreach. Tip of the iceberg.
