The Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene $12,000 (R-Ga.) for alleged illegal PAC fundraising, according to a recently-published conciliation agreement.
The FEC said Greene violated Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA), for “soliciting non-federal” funds by reposting an advertisement she appeared in on her official Greene for Congress social media accounts. The advertisement was for political action committee (PAC) “Stop Socialism Now PAC.”
The PAC posted the advertisement on its website, YouTube and social media feeds in December 2020. The video featured Greene speaking about the 2021 Senate runoff elections in her home state, which eventually resulted in the election of Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to their current seats, according to the conciliation agreement.
How 'bout $12k + every cent raised by the PAC + and audit to every other form of fundraising she’d got her fingers in.
$12k by itself isn’t shit.
$12k by itself is just the cost of politics, unless they left harsher fines
That might almost be excessive. But unless she earned 12,000 or less. This isn’t any adequate fine. If they don’t lose more than they made, that is only an endorsement for corruption.
