#JackSmith’s Big New #January6th #Insurrection #Brief Is a Major #Indictment of the #Corrupt #SupremeCourt
Trump’s #detailed #plot to #overturn the #results of the #election was #brazen and a #major #threat to the #American #democracy.
Federal law requires campaigns to disclose their spending, including itemized details of their vendors, as a safeguard against #corruption and in the interest of #transparency.
But as in many aspects of #campaign #finance #law, campaigns have found "workarounds", and the body that oversees such regulations, the Federal Election Commission, is perpetually hamstrung by partisan #deadlock.
Campaign finance experts said that among increasingly #brazen moves by political candidates, Mr. Scott’s new financial disclosures stood out as exhibit A.
“This practice completely #undermines the federal campaign finance #disclosure #requirements,” said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance expert. “The public has a right to know how political committees are spending donor dollars.”
