Oh now Clinton comes in as a defense? Get a life, Trump is the one at risk here, not Hillary.

I meant to ask if it's legal to settle with someone to shut them up. The answer is yes. Especially if what they are saying is false but could do more damage than settling.

You think everyone round here is a goldfish with a 8 second memory?
Git lost 'sunshine', mueller, brennan, stzock, Al' Wa Leed et'al worked for the hillbilly klintock;
and the bloated deep state bureaucracy still works to cover up the bush/clinton/bozo cabal's sell out to the
globalist's and the ChiComs

Yeah, what makes you think so?


The Anatomy Of Hillary Clinton's $84 Million Money-Laundering Scheme

In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of my client, Alabama engineer Shaun McCutcheon, in his challenge to the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) outdated "aggregate limits," which effectively limited how many candidates any one donor could support.

Anti-speech liberals railed against McCutcheon's win, arguing it would create supersized "Joint Fundraising Committees" (JFCs). In court, they claimed these JFCs would allow a single donor to cut a multimillion-dollar check, and the JFC would then route funds through dozens of participating state parties, who would then funnel it back to the final recipient.

Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer claimed the Supreme Court's McCutcheon v. FEC ruling would lead to "the system of legalized bribery recreated that existed prior to Watergate." The Supreme Court, in ruling for us, flatly stated such a scheme would still be illegal.

The Democrats' response? Hold my beer.

The Committee to Defend the President has filed an FEC complaint against Hillary Clinton's campaign, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic state parties and Democratic mega-donors.

As Fox News reported, we documented the Democratic establishment "using 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.

HVF solicited six-figure donations from major donors, including Calvin Klein and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, and routed them through state parties en route to the Clinton campaign. Roughly $84 million may have been laundered in what might be the single largest campaign finance scandal in U.S. history.

Here's what we know. Campaign finance law is incredibly complex and infamous for its lack of clarity. As I've explained before, its complexity is a feature, not a bug. Major political players with the resources to hire the very few attorneys who practice campaign finance law benefit from the complexity that keeps others out. Perhaps HVF's architects thought so too, and assumed that if no one understands what's happening, no one would complain.

Here's what you can do, legally. Per election, an individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state party committee, and (during the 2016 cycle) $33,400 to a national party's main account. These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of those contribution limits — it's legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit for any one recipient. And state parties can make unlimited transfers to their national party.

Here's what you can't do, which the Clinton machine appeared to do anyway. As the Supreme Court made clear in McCutcheon v. FEC, the JFC may not solicit or accept contributions to circumvent base limits, through "earmarks" and "straw men" that are ultimately excessive — there are five separate prohibitions here.

On top of that, six-figure donations either never actually passed through state party accounts or were never actually under state party control, which adds false FEC reporting by HVF, state parties, and the DNC to the laundry list.

Finally, as Donna Brazile and others admitted, the DNC placed the funds under the Clinton campaign's direct control, a massive breach of campaign finance law that ties the conspiracy together.

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.

HVF 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.

Did any of these transfers actually happen? Or were they just paper entries to mask direct transfers to the DNC?

For perspective, 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. HVF weighs in at $84 million — more than 4,000 times larger!

So who should be worried? Everyone involved — from the donors themselves to Democratic fundraisers to party officials who filed false reports and, ultimately, to Clinton campaign and HVF officials looking at significant legal jeopardy.

Don't take my word for it. Our complaint is built entirely on the FEC reports filed by Democrats, memos authored by Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and public statements from Donna Brazile and others.

The only question that matters: Was the law broken? If the answer is yes, then the corrupt Clinton machine should be held accountable.

Trump did nothing except win even though the outgoing administration and the KKKK did their best to frame him and cover up their treason, sedition and RICO violations.

The only person who has financial ties to the Russians is the hag and her money laundering operation. They knew as soon as Trump won their perfidy would come out...and it is.

This has been a failed set-up attempt and the perpetrators are going to pay. You've picked the losing side in this...we will win and the Democrats will be irrelevant until they pull their heads out of their asses.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Klinton is the reason this happened...all of it. All roads lead right straight to that wicked, evil, conniving woman and we will destroy her work. Watch. These folks are threatening our right to choose a leader and we'll fight with whatever resources we have. Right now we're taking the DOJ, FBI and CIA back from the seditious bastards you think are giving you victory by squeezing a few of Trump's associates. We'll make the Dems pay dearly for this. No prosecution of the KKKK was possible until that happened...too much corruption and cronyism in key places thanks to Obama who wanted to make sure the hag won.

But it won't be us who wins this. Someone else is on Trump's side in this and no weapon formed against him will prosper.

In fact...it will be more of what you've already seen since Trump announced. We'll help Trump because his enemies are OUR enemies and they're some very bad people.



I'll enclose a list of those who have been fired, resigned, demoted etc. This list isn't current.

And the hag's buddy, John Podesta, brother of Toney who came out the night the hag lost and told people to go home while they planned how they would upset the election since they were up to their eyeballs in corruption and WORSE...much worse, resigned from the Podesta group right after some very interesting things occurred that you know nothing about because you choose to keep your focus as narrow as your mind) has a lot of creepy art. Here's a few:

This is big but the way things are so screwed up Trump will be out of office before he is impeached. I'll vote in the midterms and hope things change and I'll darn sure vote in the next presidential election. Better days are coming.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Klinton is the reason for the investigation and no matter how much you protest that's exactly what will come out.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Better days for who? The treasonous fks we're going to put in prison? You sure don't mean us poor folks. Hope you can wrestle control of your party from the Diaper People.

Coos Bay Tom Loc: coos bay oregon

Things will hopefully be better for every one. I pay no attention to the "diaper people" I mainly want to see better wages for workers increased availablity of housing- a tax system that grows our economy--- decreased national debt better education opportunitys- Health care for every single American food security for all Americans and I know it is a lot to ask for but I want American cars to look cool again.

I frequently tell my friends who “go off” (and some “get off”) about Trump’s many shortcomings - that “It’s not ABOUT Trump”. By this, I mean that the 2016 Electoral Revolution, support for The Wall, opposition to: socialism, open borders, Antifa, the two-tiered Justice system, the swamp, the uni-party, never-Trumpers, the Washington/Wall Street/K-Street cabal, unfettered free rather than fair trade, and the rest of the globalist agenda - all of this is not about any individual, including The Donald. He is simply the vessel for change, the powerful disruptor, duly chosen in the 2016 election. It IS about saving the United States of America and Western Civilization from the insidious corruption of TODAY’s Democratic-Communist Party.
