Ole eyepatch McCain in trouble
From the article
Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s (TX) campaign committee received a hefty fine from the Federal Election Commission after he failed to properly return hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions.
After being referred to the Office of General Counsel by the Federal Election Commission’s Reports Analysis Division, the Texas Republican was fined $42,000 for failing to give back $223,460.26 in illegal donations from the 2020 election cycle, court documents showed.
Citing the initial referral, the documents read:
The Committee received excessive and apparent prohibited contributions aggregating $223,460.26 for the 2020 primary and general elections from 125 individuals, one non-qualified political action committee, one qualified multicandidate committee, four corporations, and three LLCs.
As an authorized campaign committee, the Committee was limited to accepting $2,800 per election from individuals, $5,000 from multicandidate committees, and was prohibited from accepting any corporate contributions. The Committee, however, received $223,460.26 in excessive and apparent prohibited contributions across four disclosure reports:
The Committee does not dispute its failure to make timely refunds, but asserts that since the filing of the Referral, it has now refunded all excessive contributions.
Ultimately, the documents showed that the commission found “reason to believe” Crenshaw’s campaign committee and the treasurer Paul Kilgore violated federal law by “knowingly accepting excessive and prohibited corporate contributions” totaling over $223,460.26 during the 2020 election. The fine was a part of a conciliation agreement Crenshaw’s campaign had with the FEC last month.
This all comes as Crenshaw is reportedly vying for the top spot on the Homeland Security Committee. Last month, he was one of two House Republicans for the position to go to the southern border with Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
Couldn’t happen to a nicer eye…
Well, you are more likely to get hit with things when you have no depth perception.
loooooooooool

Yeah, but he only got to profit $181,460 out of it. That'll teach him a hard lesson, for sure.
It should be a fine on top of being forced to give back the illegal contributions.
Arrrrr that be illegal, matey.
Fines just means legal for a price,

Big deal he will take donation money and pay it off and laugh because that’s the extent of it. Then he will get a ton more globalist Money to,play the eyepatch McCain role
How does the FEC get kickbacks? Fine a democrat or RINO. They'll just pay the fine with funds from FTX probably.
Gives the illusion of impartially while lining their pockets. And the tax payer funds it all.
Wouldn't doubt it if things like this happening in most agencies.
Big fucking whoop. He'll pay the ticket and move on.
