The Committee to Defend the President filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) accusing the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) of soliciting cash an $84 million money-laundering conspiracy.
The court filing named the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee in actions carried out during the 2016 presidential election that violated the Federal campaign-finance law. Filed last week in a DC district court, the lawsuit summarized the DNC-Clinton conspiracy and provided detailed evidence from FEC filings that confirm allegations Democrats orchestrated an elaborate money laundering scheme that violated federal campaign limits.
Ironically the lawsuit’s foundation rests on actions taken by the DNC during the George W. Bush administration. In 2014, The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Alabama engineer Shaun McCutcheon and his challenge of the FEC’s “aggregate limits,” which limited the number of candidates any one donor was allowed to support.
Liberals protested McCutcheon’s win, claiming it would allow for supersized “Joint Fundraising Committees” (JFC). They argued JFCs would allow a single donor to offer a multimillion-dollar check that could then be routed to multiple state parties that could then funnel that money back to a final recipient.
Fred Wertheimer, President of Democracy 21, warned that the McCutcheon v. FEC ruling would open the way to a “system of legalized bribery” that “existed prior to Watergate.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling categorically stated such a scheme was illegal.
Ted Harvey, chairman of the Committee to Defend the President (CDP) told Fox News. “I think it’s important that the American public has an understanding of how corrupt this campaign system was and that they were doing anything they could to secure the nomination in her favor.”
CDP counsel Dan Backer explains that the actions of the DNC and the Hillary Victory Fund were a flagrant violation of the McCutcheon v. FEC and violated FEC campaign contribution rules that only allow an individual to contribute $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign.
After extensive research, Backer found “extensive evidence in the Democrats’ own FEC reports, when coupled with their own public statements that demonstrated massive straw man contributions papered through the state parties, to the DNC, and then directly to Clinton’s campaign—in clear violation of federal campaign-finance law.”
FEC records reveal a number of large contributions reported as received by the HVF and the same amount on the same day recorded as received by the DNC from different state Democratic committees without the state Democratic committee reporting the contribution.
One example offered by Baker is that the HVF reported transferring $19,500 on November 2, 2015 to the Mississippi Democratic Party, DNC reported receiving the exact same amount from the Mississippi Democratic Party on the same day. That state Democratic Party never recorded the receipt or the disbursement of the $19,500. The violation is that state parties like the Mississippi Democratic Party never controlled the funds but rather served as a funnel to pass all monies back to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
99 percent of contributions that state parties received from the Hillary Victory Fund were funneled to the DNC this way. Those contributions were transferred either immediately or within less than two days. Backer said “this is exactly the scenario” Democrats warned of in 2014. What surprised Backer is that the Clinton campaign was “so brazen about it yet so sloppy.”
Former DNC chair Donna Brazile admits to this kind of money laundering in her 2017 book, Hacks: The Inside Story. There she tells of how she witnessed money being moved exactly like the lawsuit claims. She writes:
“Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC,” reads a passage from the book.
“The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to [Clinton campaign headquarters in] Brooklyn.”
The FEC is required by law to determine whether it had “reason to believe” a violation occurred. When four FEC commissioners have “reason to believe” a violation has occurred, the Committee must investigate the complaint.
In this case, however, the FEC did nothing and the mainstream media has treated this as a non-story.
