Today, Monday November 7th, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein filed a complaint at the Federal Election Commission in Washington, DC, against both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for illegal coordination with their Super PACs.
Under current FEC regulations, Super PACs, known technically as “independent expenditure-only committees” and colloquially as “dark-money groups,” may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, and individuals, but are not permitted to contribute to or coordinate directly with parties or candidates. Such coordination would be functionally equivalent to an in-kind donation to the campaign from these dark-money groups.
Stein’s complaint outlined a body of evidence indicating that the Clinton campaign has illegally coordinated activities with Super PACs such as Correct the Record, Priorities USA Action, and American Bridge 21st Century, while the Trump campaign has improperly coordinated activities with Super PACs such as Rebuilding America Now, Make America Number 1, and Great America PAC.

I’m kicking myself for not ordering a bunch of her campaign signs and putting them up in urban areas.
She’s really motivated win, waiting until now for this.
I highly doubt Stein has any real evidence against Trump of Super PAC coordination unlike Hellery, which there is plenty.
In other “important news,” the Sun came up this morning. If you can’t get people to get off their collective a$$es for Wikileaks, this is a non-starter.
You know it’s funny. Most of what Trump supports the Green Party should also be supporting.
You’re kidding right? I don’t remember him showing of Melania’a hairy pits.
What, getting rid of stupid job-killing excessive regulations? (their agenda)
I doubt it.
“I’m kicking myself for not ordering a bunch of her campaign signs and putting them up in urban areas.”
yes, that would have been a GREAT strategy. I suggested that very same thing for the City of Boulder. A large number of Stein signs gives the undecided the implicit OK to vote for Stein because they see that so many others have indicated it’s an acceptable thing to do.
