So Trump moved money around from one PAC to another, all in the hopes of juggling some of that money into his own pocket. It would be a real shame if some investigative journalist were to track down all of those different transfers and discover some of them were against FEC rules. A darn shame.

The FEC has been aware for years that Trump is doing illegal things; it just has enough loyalists installed that it's been giving him a free pass because he's above the law.

I’m all for it, but I’ve recently become jaded as to the consequences of it. He’s stealing money again! What are they going to do? Just ignore it harder?

I’m so tired of our frayed legal system.

Oh, he's been reported a bunch of times recently for violating campaign finance laws. Problem is, the FEC just keeps declining to investigate any of these reports.
