Trump Accuses Biden Harris Campaign of "Money Laundering"

The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday accusing President Biden and VP Kamala Harris of violating campaign finance laws with the transfer of $91 million in fundraising cash to her new campaign.

According to the complaint, Harris is "seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash."

Trump campaign general counsel David Warrington called the act a "brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended," adding "Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission’s own forms to do it."

"The Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place."

The complaint names Biden, Harris, "Biden for President (aka Harris for President) and Keana Spencer, as treasurer, for flagrantly violating the Act by making and receiving an excessive contribution of nearly one hundred million dollars, and for filing fraudulent forms with the Commission purporting to repurpose one candidate’s principal campaign committee for the use of another candidate."

Who cares. Just get out there and vote. Encourage EVERYONE you know to do the same. Volunteer to watch polling/Dropboxes. It's all we can really do at this point.

 @KnowledgeArianaUnityfrom Wisconsin  agreed…8mos8MO

Totally understand what you’re saying. But they are going use this money to pay off ballot mules, illegals voting and use it to fund election fraud. The less they have, the better. Illegal is illegal. IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED

 @VotingVicunaRepublican from Alabama  commented…8mos8MO

It's hard to describe in words. Complacency is definitely not an option, but we're up against a GIANT machine.

 @G3rrymanderCarolineRepublican from Oklahoma  disagreed…8mos8MO

Oh, I agree. But that never stopped them before. They just got away with an attempted murder, for crying out loud.

 @KindheartedSaltRepublican from Texas  commented…8mos8MO

Would be HILARIOUS if all that ActBlue money had to be returned to the straw donors who never donated it in the first place

 @Pe0plesPartyFoxAmerican Solidarity from California  commented…8mos8MO

Don't you need to be officially nominated before you can dig in? Not just presumptive? That sounds like fraud.

 @EqualityCraneVeteran from North Dakota  commented…8mos8MO

Kamala is all about the law right, right?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How does accusing a political opponent of legal violations affect your perception of the accuser's integrity and intentions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

In politics, should the ends justify the means if it leads to the desired outcome, even if it involves questionable financial practices?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Is it ethically acceptable for political campaigns to transfer large amounts of money between candidates, or does this undermine the trust of the donors?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Do you believe high-ranking officials should face the same legal consequences as ordinary citizens for breaking the law?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How would you feel if a large sum of money you donated for a specific cause was used for something completely different without your consent?

Mystery Drones Swarm a U.S. Military Bases

U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly wasn’t sure what to make of reports that a suspicious fleet of unidentified aircraft had been flying over Langley Air Force Base on Virginia’s shoreline.Kelly, a decorated senior commander at the base, got on a squadron rooftop to see for himself. He joined a handful of other officers responsible for a clutch of the nation’s most advanced jet fighters, including F-22 Raptors. For several nights, military personnel had reported a mysterious breach of restricted airspace over a stretch of land that has one of the largest concentrations of national-security facilities in the U.S. The show usually starts 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, another senior leader told Kelly.Officials didn’t know if the drone fleet, which numbered as many as a dozen or more over the following nights, belonged to clever hobbyists or hostile forces. Some suspected that Russia or China deployed them to test the response of American forces.Federal law prohibits the military from shooting down drones near military bases in the U.S. unless they pose an imminent threat. Aerial snooping doesn’t qualify, though some lawmakers hope to give the military greater leeway.Reports of the drones reached President Biden and set off two weeks of White House meetings after the aircraft first appeared in December last year. Officials from agencies including the Defense Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pentagon’s UFO office joined outside experts to throw out possible explanations as well as ideas about how to respond.The first drone arrived shortly. Kelly, a career fighter pilot, estimated it was roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers.The drones headed south, across Chesapeake Bay, toward Norfolk, Va., and over an area that includes the home base for the Navy’s SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port.
