NEW: Donald Trump is now 43-0 against the Federal Election Commission on alleged campaign finance violations. None of the Republican commissioners have ever voted to act against him, even when their own attorneys say he broke the law. Me @thedailybeast

Donald Trump Is Now Miraculously 43-0 Against ‘Partisan’ FEC
If it wasn’t already clear that the Federal Election Commission isn’t functional, Trump’s record in campaign finance violations should be revealing.

Donald Trump may have been impeached twice, and he’s taken some lumps in court, but in one legal arena he is hands-down the undefeated reigning champ: campaign finance law.
It’s not even close.

According to a review of filings with the Federal Election Commission, the agency with jurisdiction over campaign finance law, Trump has over the last six years posted a 43-0 record in cases referred for possible violations.

And the single reason that the FEC has never acted is because none of the agency’s three Republican commissioners have ever voted against Trump.

For years, watchdog groups, Democratic officials, and campaign finance reform advocates have criticized the notoriously deadlocked agency, whose six appointed commissioners are split evenly along party lines. (In recent years, the agency has had one independent who typically votes with the Democrats.) These critics allege that the Republican commissioners have weaponized the even partisan split to jam up decisions, rendering the FEC toothless and “broken.”

Other observers contest that the Republicans are merely adhering to traditional conservative ideology, with equal-opportunity inaction as a way to minimize regulatory interference.
