Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen has spent his indoor time reading Federal Election Commission Reports because … well, he’s weird. Just a little. In fact, just the right amount.
We, of course, get to benefit from the goodies he finds.
He’s found a Friday Fun One.
There is a Republican guy named Wendell Champion who is a Republican running for congress against Shiela Jackson Lee in Houston. Love her or hate her, she wins with 75% of the vote every election, so Wendell does not have a rat’s chance in an owl farm of winning.
He does, though, have some fun with FEC rules.
It seems that Wendell is claiming that anonymous people are depositing money in his campaign account. Oh my goodness. I mean, what can he do about it – they’re anonymous and they direct deposit to his bank account, bypassing all regulations and the people’s right to know since 1776.
Here’s part of it and it looks like this. Click here to see the big one.
If you check the aggregate amount of anonymous donations, it comes to $5,701, which if it was given by one individual, far exceeds the maximum amount one person can donation to a congressional candidate. Ya gotta admit this is a pretty good scam.
But, it gets better. It always does.
When Wendell filed his creative report to the FEC, he merrily included his bank account number. FEC reports are public record. So, you know, just in case somebody wanted to give him another anonymous donation, he’s advertising his account number.
It’s hard to believe he’s not a Trump, right?
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
