it is a great quote, but i thought of how trump defends himself from rape and sexual assault charges : "she is not my type" trump

a note about maggie haberman, the "journalist" ben was quoting. cohen's testimony places her firmly on trump's pr team.

This complaint will not be resolved until long after the race is over. There are 2016 complaints still pending before the FEC

Regardless, practically speaking, the question may be moot in the short term because of how long the Federal Election Commission takes to adjudicate complaints. Harris would almost certainly have access to the funds through the compressed campaign, and there’s little to nothing the FEC can do about it because of the timeline.

In fact, as some have pointed out, there are still open complaints to the FEC from the 2016 campaign.

In addition, Harris was always part of this committee and so should have access to the funds
“It doesn’t look that complicated to me,” Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat and vice chair of the FEC, said in a phone interview. She’s a longtime commissioner of the agency.

She points to the fact that Harris’ name was always on the statement of organization for the Biden presidential campaign committee as one of the candidates.

“The bottom line is it’s the same committee,” Weintraub said. “She’s always been part of that committee; she never had a separate contribution limit apart from this committee that her name’s already on. It’s not just me. Lawyers all over town seem to be saying the same thing. Someone could undoubtedly come up with a technical argument, and I would keep an open mind, but it doesn't seem all that complicated to me.”
