FEC Chair slam dunks Donald Trump

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

For reasons that may forever be only understood by him, Special Counsel Robert Mueller passed up a slam dunk opportunity to indict Donald Trump Jr for his criminal decision to accept a gift of value (in this case “dirt” on Hillary Clinton) from representatives of the Russian government. Unfortunately yet predictably, this has led Donald Trump to believe that he can simply commit the same crime in 2020. In fact he just pre-confessed to it during an interview with ABC News.

The thing is, not everyone is as eager to let Donald Trump and his people get away with this kind of crime. In fact the Chair of the Federal Election Commission just ripped Trump a new one over his ABC interview. Ellen Weintraub, who has been on the FEC since 2002, posted a message on Twitter last night that was clearly aimed directly at Donald Trump:

If the increasingly sheltered Donald Trump even finds out that the FEC Chair posted this open letter, he’ll likely attack her on a personal level, and claim that this is all part of some Democratic Party plot against him – but Weintraub was first appointed by Republican President George W. Bush.
