Harry Reid admits to violating election law, but FEC won't prosecute
Washinton Examiner ^ | 07-30-2016 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 07/30/2016 5:23:11 PM PDT by Kevin in California

The Federal Election Commission, which considered legal action against former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee for joking about fundraising, won't punish Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid for admitting to violating an election law.

The reason: It's not worth the effort.

Of course they won’t prosecute. Reid is a disgusting commie Democrat. He’s an untouchable.

Harry didn’t intend to break the law so it is ok.

What Harry Reid did wasn’t anywhere near as bad as Hillary’s mishandling of Top Secret material - and they are both in Barack Hussein’s political party - so I’m not surprised that Reid is also above the law.

Business owners can still fire any Liberal employee without a stated reason.

Identify them, isolate them, ridicule them, refuse to hire them, refuse to do business with them, impoverish them, make their lives Hell.

Selective prosecution. Dnesh Douza went to jail and is still on parole for less.

Hillary escaped prosecution for crimes that would send a normal person to prison for life. Now Reid.

Two tier society, the rule of law is done.

Trump proved correct, again.

The system is rigged.

Trump is right a lot. Harry Reid is always a scumbag.

My favorite reason they didn’t indict Dingy Harry.

“And that lack of effectiveness was also a reason given for no FEC action.”

So if a person tries to assassinate a politician but flat missing, do they also account for his lack of effectiveness?

This is straight up the 2-tier legal system we have where Democrats, athletes, actors and the rich are above the law, and the rest of us are never “not worth prosecuting”. We are always worth it.

I hate my government beyond description. I hate half of my fellow voters as well. They are the ones who gave us this government.

It was worth the effort to prosecute D’Souza.

I’m all for making the lives of liberals miserable.

There were a few that I worked for several years ago that were experts at doing the same to non fellow travelers.

I couldn’t have stated what was in your last couple of paragraphs any better.

It grieves me to say it. I preferred when I was a young ignorant liberal who thought the press was fair, the judiciary was fair and the corrupt politicians were few and far between. But then I was stupid and didn’t make the best voting decisions, but my ignorance was preferable to knowing how deeply corrupt our nation has become, how thoroughly we have been infiltrated by communists and other external enemies, and how little power we have to stop what is happening.

I hope Trump can get elected and just slow it down a few years.
