BREAKING: Rep. Greene clearly violated federal law with an unlimited super PAC solicitation. If candidates get away with this type of fundraising, the soft-money ban will be meaningless.

INCONCEIVABLE: Mueller wrote: "'coordination' does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law" and then proceeded to make up a definition contrary to longstanding federal campaign finance law by requiring an "agreement" between the Trump campaign and Russians. 52 USC 30116(a)(7)(B)(i) states that “expenditures made by any person in cooperation, consultation, or concert, with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, his authorized political committees, or their agents, shall be considered to be a contribution to such candidate”

2016 Trump campaign illegally solicited contributions from foreign nationals via email. I helped write & file complaint. FEC lawyers recommended enforcement.
