      Not sure it breaks any laws, but I love how they show how slow the process would be. The election would be over before any of it mattered, and if Trump won, it’s federal so he could pardon any of it.

      See below. It would take minimum 50 days just to start the process… Which isn’t even anything but letters at that point.

      “Notice to respondents Within five days after receiving a proper complaint, OGC sends each respondent a copy of the complaint and a description of the Commission’s compliance procedures. The respondent has 15 days from the date of receipt to respond in writing, explaining why no action should be taken. In the case of a complaint that does not satisfy the requirements, the respondent nevertheless receives a copy of the complaint and an explanation that the complainant has 15 days to correct the complaint. If the complainant corrects and refiles the complaint, the respondent is sent a copy of the corrected complaint and is given 15 days to submit a response to the Commission.”

          Even if they didn’t, what does it matter? If you’re at that point you have much bigger problems…

        Paying people for votes is very much against the law. And Trump’s shitty behavior doesn’t really mean Elon’s bullshit shouldn’t be reported. You think Trump’s going to pardon these morons for their participation? He pardoned two cabinet/campaign members from his original bid for office rather than the reelection debacle, both of which were from the Mueller investigation. He pardoned none of the co-conspirators for his 2020 re-election antics. Trump only does favors for people that are valuable to him, and Elon’s worthless for anything but his money and his access to the raw twitter firehose.
