The federal election commission, in their year-end review, found possible law-breaking in three donations the California Republicans campaign committee accepted in 2017.https://www.thedailybeast.com/devin-nunes-probed-by-fec-for-possible-campaign-finance-violations?source=twitter&via=desktop
The Federal Election Commission on Wednesday sent a letter to Nunes campaign committee, raising red flags about some particular contributions received in 2017. The letter, sent to Nunes campaign treasurer and mother Toni Dian Nunes, requested information essential to full public disclosure about three potentially illegal contributions.
A total of $3,000 was contributed to Nunes campaign fund by Harris Lee Cohen, whose FEC contribution information lists him as the manager of a company called SIFI in Terra Bella, CA. Cohen contributed $1,500 in July 2017, and again in November.
$3,000 was also contributed to Nunes from Jeffrey J. Kimbell, president of a Washington lobbying firm specializing in legislative, regulatory and policy solutions to clients in the life sciences community, according to their website. Kimbells FEC contribution information lists him as a self-employed health care consultant in his June contribution of $1,000 and his two December contributions of $1,700 and $300.
According to ProPublica, Kimbells firm lobbied on behalf of clients Acadian Ambulance and Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Services on bills like the Ambulance Medicare Budget and Operations Act of 2017, introduced in July, and the Comprehensive Operations, Sustainability, and Transport Act of 2017, introduced in September. Both bills were sponsored by Nunes.

without also probing iDJT? After all, I believe devin actually now resides permanently in iDJT's lower colon.
