I have a question about present campaign finance law. Consider this example. A candidate is running for office, accepts contributions, and, presumably is operating within present campaign finance law. The candidate hires a consultant. So far so good.
Here’s my question. Under present law can the consultant then hire the candidate? Follow-up question: can the consultant hire the candidate’s spouse? How about the candidate’s significant other?
Now read this article at Medium.
Something to keep in mind: the greatest scandal is frequently what’s legal.
“say it ain’t so, Joe”
You pose an interesting little thought puzzle. I’ll leave it to lawyers and the motivated inquisitors to sort it out.
More interesting to me is this champion of truth, justice and the socialist way behaving like, well, a veteran political hack.
Not o good look.
Just hush money so he won’t talk about the affair he is having with AOC. We know the tis legal and politically acceptable.

Her campaign wasn’t in debt, according to this guy: https://twitter.com/brendan_fischer/status/1098360687594782722.
It seemed fishy to me, because the ‘reporter’ just alleges that her boyfriend was a front to funnel money to the campaign. No evidence, except that the campaign was in debt, though it wasn’t. I predict this expert sleuthing re: AOC will be happening once-weekly with the same result.
Haven’t followed this issue with AOC and am not much interested.
Undoubtedly true. Campaign finance regulation is like trying to squeeze jello.
