Trump’s campaign never reported the money transaction in its FEC disclosure forms. Why isn't every check listed on the FEC filings so there is a blank spot making it apparent nothing was reported next to the check number?

Anybody can simply say they forgot or overlooked it so there was no intent. This makes cheating far too easy. This can easily be prevented by requiring every check number be listed with a blank spot for anyone to plainly see they omitted reporting what is was for.

@Metal-Brain
Are people allowed to wire campaign money without providing a receipt to the FEC?
I think the FEC should be indicted for encouraging fraudulent use of campaign funds by making it far too easy. They are retards.

Did you know that candidates in the 2020 election spent $14.4 BILLION on getting elected? What in the world did they spend all that money on? For certain, a lot of it is grifted. Corporations don't care what it's spent on, they just want the candidate to know that when their lobbyist comes knocking, answer the door.
We've discussed the solution for 30 years. There should be no campaign contributions at all. Just have the candidates debate and then we choose the one we like best. Spend that $14.4 billion on something more substantive.

@wildgrass saidNow I know why none of Trump's political opponents for the primary will criticize Trump for misusing campaign funds. They all do it too. They just havn't been caught yet. The FEC makes it too easy to get away with.

The rich who rigged the system want to keep it corrupt. When people complain enough they pretend to do something about it. McCain Feingold actually made it worse in the end. It was a complete sham for appearance only.
The debates are rigged too. 3rd party candidates are excluded from the debates. Everything is rigged.

Most point to citizens united SCOTUS decision as the major turning point.

Despite McCain being one of the only Republicans to speak out against the Citizens United decision, he was later criticized for avoiding legislation that some lawmakers believed would reverse some of Citizens United.
