FEC Complaint Filed Against Fred Thompson

Posted by Michael Link on August 20, 2007 at 01:55 PM

At News for the Left, there's word of an FEC complaint filed against Fred Thompson "for violation of Federal Election Law under the Commission's jurisdiction."

Specifically, it alleges that he:

  • Raised funds in excess of what could reasonably be expected to be used for exploratory activities (or undertook activities designed to amass campaign funds that would be spent after he becomes a candidate).

  • Made or authorized written or oral statements that refer to him as a candidate for a particular office.

  • Conducted activities over a protracted period of time.

The examples of each of these points are numerous, and the entire complaint has been posted. By not filing as a candidate, Fred Thompson has avoided revealing his contributions and expenses, as well as filing his personal finances.

So Thompson is already breaking the law even before he gets into office?

He is an actor, he thought he could do anything.
He is just like Reagon.

Like all actors. They live in never never land.
And the people who like him are from the same place.

We have enough people on the stage already, and with the Flordia mess, we will more than like in 2000 have the US Courts pick our president again, so much for the Democratic process
