Wow.

Sure there is already a thread about the content.

But the stupid title proposed by Trump deserves it own thread, so we can bask in its glory. :rollin

If you haven't heard, the Speaker of the House let Trump name the bill.

I shit you not, he came up with:

The "Cut cut cut act".

Meanwhile you seem to ignore Donna B's bomb about Hillary's campaign controlling the DNC and fucking Bernie, but hey, at least there was some catchy stuff happening.

Because failing to disclose that the DNC paid for the Russian dossier is a crime. Whether or not it will be prosecuted is another story. The entire Whitewater scandal was criminal as fuck. Using her political power to scare Bill's rape victims into silence is a crime.

When someone prefaces a statement with "in my opinion" or "I think", it's the same as saying "don't hold me to this but..."

Because there is a large gap between "i have enough information to say for certain" and "I think I have pretty good reasons to think this is true, but allow for the possibility that I am wrong".

Anyone who doesn't do that, probably doesn't think enough about how much they do "know".

It is a form of hedging, but that isn't something undesirable, especially from a critical thinking standpoint.

The FECA requires candidate committees, party committees and PACs to file periodic reports disclosing the money they raise and spend. Candidates must identify, for example, all PACs and party committees that give them contributions, and they must identify individuals who give them more than $200 in an election cycle. Additionally, they must disclose expenditures exceeding $200 per election cycle to any individual or vendor.

52 U.S.C. 30109 (a)(1)

Penalties are a red herring. The "crime" doesn't rest on whether or not penalties are issued and I don't even need to know the penalties to know there was a crime.

§30109. Enforcement
(a) Administrative and judicial practice and procedure
(1)
Any person who believes a violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26 has occurred, may file a complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall be in writing, signed and sworn to by the person filing such complaint, shall be notarized, and shall be made under penalty of perjury and subject to the provisions of section 1001 of title 18. Within 5 days after receipt of a complaint, the Commission shall notify, in writing, any person alleged in the complaint to have committed such a violation. Before the Commission conducts any vote on the complaint, other than a vote to dismiss, any person so notified shall have the opportunity to demonstrate, in writing, to the Commission within 15 days after notification that no action should be taken against such person on the basis of the complaint. The Commission may not conduct any investigation or take any other action under this section solely on the basis of a complaint of a person whose identity is not disclosed to the Commission.

This doesn't define a crime.

This simply details an administrative procedure.

I'm confused, but then again, I think you said I'd have problems navigating this stuff. Maybe you can help me here.

Did Hillary file some complaint improperly so as to commit some sort of crime?

I can see how that might get nefarious. :lol

No. You do have to have evidence, and well, figure out which law was broken.

Kind of hard to have a crime without a law that is broken. But hey, I have a hard time deciphering this stuff.

The law you are looking for is:

52 USC §30104 (b)(5)(A)
5) the name and address of each—
(A) person to whom an expenditure in an aggregate amount or value in excess of $200 within the calendar year is made by the reporting committee to meet a candidate or committee operating expense, together with the date, amount, and purpose of such operating expenditure;

So now, all we need to have is, you know, evidence, this was not done.

Can you show me what payment you think was made, but not included in the routine report?

What I am going to guess:

The payments were made by a law firm to Steele's group. Payments to lawfirm were for consulting fees, and reported as such, appropriately.

I don't think campaigns are responsible for hiring of subcontractors. To say that Hillary Clinton committed a crime because a subcontractor was hired, is risable.

But hey, if someone wants to push the narrative, it is a very easy criminal act to ferret out. Let's have a quick investigation, get a couple of reports, and lists of payments. I could probably fart this kind of audit out in a week or so.
