The Federal Election Commission recently let a US company that was quietly bankrolled by Russian oligarchs off with a slap on the wrist despite discovering that it had illegally funneled Russian funds to US political candidates in the 2018 midterm elections, two Democratic FEC commissioners said in a scathing statement issued Friday.

“Half the Commission chose to reject the recommendation of the agency’s nonpartisan Office of General Counsel and turned a blind eye to the documented use of Russian money for contributions to various federal and state committees in the 2018 elections,” wrote the two commissioners, Ellen Weintraub and Shana Broussard.

1. We need to dump the FEC and let the FBI handle these crimes.

The FEC cannot work with a 50-50 partisan split.

If we are serious about stopping these shenanigans, we need to indict, arrest, and jail people who break them.

FEC has been broken for a while now.
