I'd swear I read as far back as '15 articles about the LOSER 45 sons soliciting campaign

donations from outside the US. Can't find what I think I'm looking for, but here's a little treachery from the good old days, and it doesn't appear that SQUAT was done about these illegal solicitations:


The Hill, July 16, 2016

Another member of the U.K. Parliament, Peter Bottomley, has received three such solicitations. "Neither [Trump’s] sons nor anyone else has answered my questions about how they acquired my email, nor why they were asking for financial support that I suppose to be illegal for [Trump] to accept,” he says.

Someone should let Trump know it’s illegal for candidates for federal office to solicit foreign money, regardless of whether the donations ever materialize. In addition, foreign individuals, corporations and governments are barred from either giving money directly to U.S. candidates or spending on advertising to influence U.S. elections.

Why hasn’t Trump been held accountable? Because the Federal Election Commission, charged with enforcing the law, is gridlocked by its Republican appointees.

So we’re left with a presidential candidate screaming about threats to American sovereignty from trade and immigration who’s simultaneously urging officials of foreign governments to compromise American sovereignty.
