Republican FEC commissioners let Clinton campaign off the hook for super PAC coordination
Open secrets ^ | 7/22/19 | Karl hilstrom

Deadlocked on a party-line vote, the Federal Election Commission has dismissed a complaint that Hillary Clinton’s campaign illegally coordinated with a super PAC during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Continuing a recent trend with the embattled regulatory agency that is currently missing two of six commissioners, it was the Republican commissioners, not Democrats, who voted to stonewall enforcement action over the complaint.

Just one month before the 2016 presidential election, Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the FEC alleging that the Clinton campaign illegally coordinated with Correct the Record, a hybrid PAC run by Media Matters for America founder David Brock. The group, which Brock himself described in a podcast as a “surrogate arm of the Clinton campaign,” spent millions to “correct” criticism of Clinton on social media and in the news media. The group worked closely with the Clinton campaign on opposition research, fundraising, polling, canvassing, press outreach and messaging. Together, the groups coordinated their response to potential threats to the campaign, such as the politicized Benghazi hearings.

Those republicans need to be fired and banned from working in any such job in the future. There is no rule of law for the elite.

And for the most part, being a Republican means you can bitch about Democratic illegal actions but never follow through and get them prosecuted....like the Kavanaugh hearing fiasco.

Apparently, the Laws of this land do NOT apply to the Clinton Crime Family.

Yes, and then she will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternity. Problem is, she probably live to over 100 before it happens.

And the Uniparty side is definitely not on the side of the American people.

The only ones politicizing the Benghazi hearings were Democrats like Elijah Cumstain who ran interference to shield Mrs. Clinton. He wasn’t seeking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

There’s going to be some poor guy who gets tired of watching Clinton skate on all of her crimes who eventually takes it upon himself to correct the situation.....and then he’ll be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Justice in America is dead.....just like journalism.
