Trump campaign files FEC challenge over Biden’s funds being funneled to Kamala

 Those trying to install Kamala Harris as president now that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race and mysteriously disappeared after "catching COVID" are "committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history," the campaign of Donald Trump is arguing in a new challenge filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Though a "long shot," according to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump campaign hopes to stop Kamala from receiving all of the cash "donations" that were made for Biden when she was not a candidate in the race.

Trump's campaign says Kamala fraudulently took funds intended for Biden and redirected them to herself, this according to a letter sent to the FEC that was viewed by the Journal.

"Until Sunday, while Joe Biden had previously stated his intention to place Kamala Harris' name in nomination to be his running mate, Kamala Harris was not actually a candidate for anything," wrote Trump lawyer David A. Warrington in the letter.

"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."

 

Even Democrats don't want Kamala (and neither do voters in California, her home state)

For the past couple of days while the world was still digesting Biden's sudden departure, FEC commissioners and election finance lawyers have been duking it out over whether or not funneling Biden's cash to Kamala is legal. 

"Either way," the Journal reported, "it's unlikely the Trump campaign's challenge will affect Harris' spending through November."

What do you think: Is the Journal right that Trump's FEC challenge is a long shot or will it succeed now that the Democrat house of cards seems to be tumbling at increasing speed as Election Day approaches?

On the one hand, Biden originally filed his candidacy with Kamala as his vice president, which some say means she deserves the financial war chest. On the other, many of the people who donated to Biden for president never would have donated to Kamala for president had they known she would be suddenly substituted under questionable circumstances.

"Biden has full authority to transfer that money to Kamala's campaign," one commenter argued. "And no paperwork is due until the quarterly filing deadline unless it's the last quarter, then it's due monthly. This is a Trump marketing ploy."

Another joked in much the same vein that the only thing that awaits Kamala from this FEC challenge is "a strongly worded letter," meaning no punishment and no forced send-back of all that cash will occur.

"Biden was installed under a huge cloud of suspicious activity and 'malarkey,'" wrote another. "He is going out the same way."

No matter which way the FEC challenge goes, Trump is sure to make Kamala's life "a living hell," suggested another. "I can't wait to watch it unfold."
