How Mitch McConnell Is Bending Every Last Campaign Finance Rule


Post–Citizens United, candidates aren’t supposed to coordinate with “outside” spending groups—but even that minimal restriction isn’t being enforced.

(For an interesting read go to full article.)

Often the sharing of consultants and ad makers means that any “fire wall” is merely symbolic. But there have been no consequences for these potential violations of federal law, because there’s been no enforcement of the law, thanks to partisan gridlock at the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).

The growing phenomenon has been showcased by both Republican and Democratic candidates in the marquee races of the current election cycle.

GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader and the loudest voice on Capitol Hill in support of private influence over election campaigns, is relying upon a constellation of outside groups to shore up his re-election bid as he faces one of the toughest challenges in years, from Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes. In many cases, the pro-McConnell outside groups have close personal links to the candidate and his campaign.

There are zero consequences to breaking the laws, NO enforcement of the law, so why should they care? I wonder what will come of this investigation into his father-in-law's shadowy company who further funds him.
