You said that the printing company would be trying to influence the election.
That is incorrect. The campaign who hired the printing company was trying to influence the election - the printing company is just there to make money.
Just curious. with which political parties did those Congressional campaigns relate?
And as to the forewall:
But the Campaign Legal Center described the FEC reporting as âmisleading.â
âPayments by a campaign or party committee to an opposition research firm are legal, as long as those payments are accurately disclosed,â Fischer said. âBut describing payments for opposition research as âlegal servicesâ is entirely misleading and subverts the reporting requirements.â
Good question. Look it up and let us know. You might also let us know if the FEC agrees that representing opposition research as legal expenses is OK by them.
Because you people are the ones saying a firewall is ok to hide that your are really doing opposition research.
But I will help you out. It is not acceptable.
Even âConsultingâ is not acceptable. It needs to be specific, like research consulting, or polling consulting.
I showed you the FEC webpage on adequate reporting. They insist on greater detail. You look up the specific case if you care about the outcome.
Let us know.
The fact is, the FEC says you need more and accurate detail.
If there are people who falsify this out there, it is still not legitimate.
