WASHINGTON — An outside group founded by top political aides to Sen. Joni Ernst has worked closely with the Iowa Republican to raise money and boost her reelection prospects, a degree of overlap that potentially violates the law, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
Ernst is hardly the first politician to push campaign finance law boundaries. But the revelation could complicate her efforts to fend off a Democratic challenger in a closely watched race next year. Story continues“As a follow up to our introduction by Senator Ernst, I am reaching out to you on behalf of Iowa Values,” she wrote.
“It seems like pretty strong evidence” that the $50,000 request was for an “illegal donation” while it's “clear that the goal of Iowa Values is to reelect Joni Ernst, which may violate its tax-exempt status,” said Brendan Fischer, an attorney with the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center in Washington.“This is a striking example of how secret campaign money operates,” Fischer said.
Dan Petalas, a former acting general counsel at the FEC, said that the “law is undecided” but that his personal view is the fundraising was permissible because Holloway Avella said she was requesting the $50,000 on behalf of Iowa Values, not the campaign.
MSignorile Another corrupt republican. Surprise, surprise.
All 22 will be voted out!!

“You're A Damn Liar, Man”: Joe Biden Lashes Out at Iowa Voter For Complaining About UkraineBiden also challenged the 83-year-old to a push-up contest after the voter complained Biden is “too old” to be president. Joe Biden's a complete joke. Someone needs to intervene and put him in an old folks' home for his own safety and his own good. And the good and safety of this country as well. Please Dems, don’t nominate either of the two altakakas. We don’t need a President who will effectively be 80 yrs old on Inauguration Day. Why is it everything I hear from the Biden campaign trail sounds like a meme or bad joke 😂
