Wanna bet not a dang thing is going to happen to her?

Rosie O’Donnell made illegally over-sized campaign donations to at least five Democratic federal candidates, according to a Post analysis of campaign filings.

The liberal comedian has regularly broken Federal Election Commission rules limiting the total any one person can give to an individual candidate at $2,700 per election. The limit applies separately to primaries, runoffs and general elections.

...

Filings show O’Donnell gave a combined $5,400 in contributions over the limit to the five candidates, and used five different New York addresses and four variations of her name.

Campaign contribution laws are horrible for a number of reasons so I will not root for something to happen to her.

However you might have been right under a Hillary administration. With Trump in, who knows how things will work out.

While campaign contribution laws are indeed Byzantine, her use of five different addresses and four names IMO demonstrates that she knew she was violating the law.

Word.

The best we can hope for is a Twitter war between her and Trump, which is payment enough.

So not exactly an inadvertent mistake, then.

Where's my shocked face? I know I had it around here somewhere ...

“Donors are rarely fined for excess contributions and then only if they are hiding the donations from the recipients,” prominent D.C. campaign finance lawyer Jan Witold Baran said. “Campaigns generally are not penalized for isolated contributions over a limit. However, multiple excessive donations may lead to an investigation … Fines could result in such cases.”

No odds one way or the other.  However, it does sound as if she or her advisors are well aware of the rules and tried to finesse the system.

double post

[Ben]

Well, it appears she is doubling down.

Given that she's supposed to be  a "sympathetic and tolerant progressive", perhaps someone on the Twitters should ask her how far this extra money that she's throwing into a tantrum would go if she instead donated it to a food bank.

Which is a bit silly as the campaign finance laws have deliberate loopholes you can drive a truck through that are intended to help incumbents.  You would think they could figure out how to give the money legally.
