Lawyers Argue

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing that Vice President Kamala Harris cannot legally gain control of nearly $100 million donated to President Joe Biden by changing the name of his campaign committee. “This is little more than a thinly veiled $91.5 million excessive contribution from one presidential candidate to another, that is, from Joe Biden’s old campaign to Kamala Harris’s new campaign,” Trump general counsel David A. Warrington wrote in a complaint obtained by The Daily Wire. “Contributions by federal candidate committees to other federal candidates are limited to $2,000.” “Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest

I wonder where the money goes. If it goes to Harris, fine. It won't help her. If it goes to downslate candidates then I'd just as soon see it go to Harris.

I think it would go to Biden. I read long ago that whatever is left of donations to a campaign go to the guy running, win or lose. Now this was a while ago so maybe that changed.

It can go to a PAC or the DNC. I believe it’s a valid transfer because it was the Biden/Harris campaign, and as long as one of them is on the ticket it is OK. But it’s not 100% clear. What this does do is tie up the money for that critical several weeks to month at the start. She’d used the money to shape her initial impression. It also has the side effect of freezing up donors who could not donate to Harris if they already donated to Biden/Harris. Just a nice wrench to throw. Not a game changer.

As I understand it, until she is chosen by the DNC to be the candidate for president, she can't touch the money.

Legal? Not Legal? Doesn't matter. As long as it advances The Cause, they'll DO it, The Media will support them (and doubly so as they are spending that Cash on Media ads!) and count on a 'Rat D.A. to 'decline to prosecute'.

Yesterday, as Kamala Harris addressed a black sorority in Indianapolis, and Joe Biden prepared for his farewell ice cream party at the White House, Left-wing rioters took down the American flags flying at one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic landmarks: Union Station. Less than a mile from the Capitol complex, they raised Palestinian flags in their place. Various members of the mob also waved the flags of terrorist groups. And then, for good measure, they set the American flags on fire while chanting “Allahu Akbar.” They also violently dragged a hapless police officer on the ground.

Washington —Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the Israeli government for killing “far too many” civilians in the Gaza Strip — saying “I will not be silent,” despite also pledging “unwavering” support for the Jewish state’s right to exist after meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Harris, in her first remarks on the conflict as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said Thursday evening “it is time for this war to end” and argued the conflict was not a “binary issue” despite historical American backing for Israel. “To everyone who has been calling for a ceasefire, and to everyone who yearns for peace, I see you and I hear you,” Harris, 59, said

Joe Biden's doctor gave a puzzling response when asked if he was the president's physician after being ambushed on the White House lawn. Kevin O'Connor was walking along the driveway trying to get around anti-Israel protest blockades when reporters asked if he was the president's doctor. 'I don’t know. I don’t know,' O'Connor replied while briskly walking toward the White House. The former US Army medic then said Biden's health and mental cognition were 'excellent' and he saw no need to give the president a cognitive test. O'Connor, known to Biden and others around the White House simply as 'doc', has been a part of the president's life for more than a decade

Ezra Klein called him an "actual hero" who had demonstrated what real moral character looks like. Historian Jon Meacham, a personal friend of Biden, compared him to George Washington and said that he had "taught us a landmark lesson in patriotism, humility and wisdom." Frank Bruni called Biden's action "utterly extraordinary." Economist Alex Tabarrok called Biden an "American Cincinnatus."

So basically he was admitting this was an effort to increase their chances in the election. It was a cynical attack on democracy, throwing the votes of millions of Americans under the bus.
