We can depose these cretins under oath and know they can tell their lies under penalty of perjury....

5. I believe it's called filing a complaint for an investigation |
|
It's the FEC itself that decides if it will pursue the matter and keeps the proceedings confidential, even from the entity filing the complaint. Therefore, any subpoena power belongs only to the FEC. Apparently, if the FEC decides not to accept the complaint or to pursue the matter, the complainant may then file a regular suit in Federal District Court. However, the FEC apparently sits on these investigations for years, if they want to.

6. Kerry must be confident of a win |
|
Otherwise I don't think he would have filed this complaint. If there is a God in heaven, please smack these liars down. O8)

I don't think the Kerry camp would take the risk otherwise.
