Two watchdog groups, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21, said they will file Wednesday a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, arguing that the Donald Trump campaign has broken federal law by sending fundraising emails to foreign elected officials.

"Donald Trump should have known better," Paul S. Ryan, the deputy executive director at the Campaign Legal Center, said in a statement. "It is a no-brainer that it violates the law to send fundraising emails to members of a foreign government on their official foreign government email accounts, and yet, that's exactly what Trump has done repeatedly."
Watchdog Groups File FEC Complaint Over Trump Emails To Foreign Pols

Not just greedy but plain old stupid. Who does this? Who is the presumptive nominee of a major political party and doesn't know that you can't accept (never mind solicit) campaign contributions from citizens of other countries?

Oh, that's right, Dumbass Donald.

It's not clear whether the Trump campaign purposefully sent the emails to foreign members of parliament.

One thing we can be sure of Trump didn't send the emails. It could be another crooked Hillary super pac.

That's how accusations work. It's not necessary to wait for facts or investigation. Typical crooked Hillary campaign tactic.

I would be very surprised if this actually happened, you obviously can't accept foreign donations, unless of course you are the Clintons.

His son sent the requests on behalf of the campaign. I guess stupid is a family trait.

Another accusation without facts to back it. Is there nothing crooked Hillary won't do ?


It’s possible that an outside troll signed up the MPs for Trump’s campaign emails without their, or the Trump camp’s, knowledge.

But such actions violate the rules only if they’re knowingly undertaken by the campaign; it’s unclear whether automated emails to a list of forbidden recipients would qualify.

Facts? How about showing us the video of those "thousands and thousands" Donny claims to have seen celebrating the 9/11 attacks in the streets of Jersey City? Given he also claims to have seen people jumping from the towers from his midtown apartment he must have some friggin' amazing eyes to see the streets of Jersey City from there.

Or do those afflicted with DonnyObsessionSyndrome believe he shouldn't be expected to present any facts?
