George Santos busted for accepting apparently illegal campaign contribution

The Federal Election Commission has sent a letter to scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos (R-NY) informing him that his campaign has accepted an apparently illegal campaign contribution.

Specifically, the letter flags "one or more contributions" in the Santos campaign's financial report that "appear to exceed the limits" set by campaign finance laws.

The letter then provided Santos with a number of remedial actions that he can take to comply with the law, including refunding the excessive amount or reattributing the excessive amount to another person "such as a joint account holder."

Santos' campaign has until April 5th to deliver a response and the FEC's letter warned the campaign that it will not receive another warning before the commission considers taking enforcement action.

the same guy who was paying off FBI Agent McDonegal to rat fuck Hillary in 2016, the
same Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska that Mueller indicted, and then Bill Barr dropped the
charges against Mr. Vladimirovich.

Tony DeVolder is a Russian planted chaos agent just like Donald Trump.
