The mainstream media took no notice of last week's federal court filing that exposes a $84 million money-laundering conspiracy the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign excuted during the 2016 presidential election in violation of federal campaign-finance law.
On behalf of his clients, on December 15, 2017 Backer filed an 86-page complaint with the FEC, asking the FEC to commence enforcement proceedings against Hillary Clinton, her campaign and its treasurer, the DNC and its treasurer, and the participating state Democratic committees.
Over a 13-month period, FEC records show some 30 separate occassions when the HVF transferred contributions totalling more than $10 million to the DNC without any corresponding record of the receipt or disbursement from the state parties, thus illegally leap-frogging the state Democratic parties.
Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of the Clinton campaign, which operated as Hillary For America "HFA," out of Brooklyn, New York, likewise stated that the Democratic Party was "Fully under the control of the Clinton campaign .... The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse."
The FEC failed to act on Backer's complaint, even though federal law authorizes any person to file "a complaint with the FEC alleging a violation of federal campaign finance law."
Given the overwhelming evidence of illegal campaign contributions Backer detailed in the complaint he filed with the FEC against Clinton, the DNC, and the state Democratic parties, there is more than sufficient evidence for the FEC to have "Reason to believe" they violated federal campaign finance law.
So why didn't the FEC act? The answer to that question came Thursday, when FEC Vice Chair Ellen L. Weintraub issued a statement in another case, involving another complainant and another provision of federal campaign-finance law, but which nonetheless showed the FEC is dysfunctional.
