The efforts of top Federal Election Commission Democrat, Ellen Weintraub, to demand an inquisition into the potential coordination with Russians of conservative news outlets like Infowars, Breitbart and the Drudge Report, have been dashed as The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has declined her proposal, stating it "cannot support proposals that would burden the free speech rights of American citizens based on incomplete information about foreign activities in the 2016 election."
As Breitbart's Colin Madine writes, the FEC has declined to consider new rulemaking over alleged foreign influence in the 2016 presidential election that could target conservative media including InfoWars and Breitbart News. In a statement released by Vice Chair Caroline Hunter and Commissioners Lee Goodman and Matthew Petersen, the members state they “cannot support proposals that would burden the free speech rights of American citizens based on incomplete information about foreign activities in the 2016 election.”
They further describe Weintraub’s proposal as one that would “‘blunt’ the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizen’s United.” In the opinion of three members who wrote the statement, there is no information currently showing that the FEC’s existing rules that prohibit foreign involvement in U.S. elections are “inadequate to detect, enforce, and punish violations.”
The statement was released by the three Republicans serving as FEC commissioners. Weintraub and Democrat Steven Walther are the other two current members, meaning there is at least a 3-2 majority in the Republicans favor on this issue.
The FEC commissioners acknowledge in their statement that a number of government agencies are currently investigating alleged foreign interference, and address the FEC’s role, specifically noting the importance of not taking a position of political bias:
The Federal Election Commission should cooperate with these other agencies while maintaining necessary confidentiality and decorum in our own processes.
We must resist any efforts to politicize or compromise the integrity of this agency’s enforcement process or the investigations of other agencies, for the subject matter at issue implicates profoundly important national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.
At least in the case of the FEC, leftists seem to be back to square one in their efforts to shut down conservative media.

Dems are just angry monkeys hurling feces
I voted for Trump only because the Libtards promised to leave the country en masse.
Why the fuck are they still here? ;-)
Looney
Right, especially that harridan hack, Lena Dunham. I thought that tatooed POS would have been on the next plane to Cuba after November 8th. I guess even Cuba didn't want "her."
Liberals never keep their word if it doesn't work in their favor. Honor isn't in their vocabulary but Walnut Sauce, Succulent Hotdogs and Spirit Cooking are.
DNC = Lying Hateful People
DNC = Democracy Neutralizing Cartel
And lately they neutralize anyone that dares to speak against the rotten core.
Arkancide: Haiti Official Expected to Testify Against Clinton Foundation Found Dead in Miami

To celebrate our rights of free speech and our other god given rights I'd like to take a moment to remember an American hero, Lavoy Finicum. We have been hearing so much about blacks getting shot by police but LaVoy's death somehow gets overlooked. He was protecting our rights, was unarmed, and was gunned down as he moved away from women and passengers in his truck as they were all being shot at to make sure the others were safe. He should never be forgotten. Here is the first clip I can find of him at the refuge.

The Democraps and neocons are cornered.
They keep searching for a blockbuster to get them out.
Forecast is for volatility.
We are witnessing a tribal meltdown of epic proportions. Gotta love it.
so who is the lucky duck shoe-in running for Weintraub's post?
easy slide into home.
She, Lena , is from some universe, far, far away and it makes it tough to repatriate.
Because nobody wants them? Because they thought they mattered and they could bluff?
Sorry bud, your stuck with your trash.
Edit: I saw the shia lafool fell deep. Being the arrogant libtard raycist he is. Keeps getting arrested. The muppet that he is. Take another shot off libtard, you fucker and OD already.
These Fuckers need to get to work passing legislation that will create some form of "Real Growth" numbers or the only thing they will have left to complain about is how to avoid mobs with pitchforks.
In fact with so much money parked in Term deposits etc. in this new Age of Distortion, get Schwartzman to get it off the sidelines with an even greater return than the FED window can create and put it into projects that at the very least provide temporary growth drivers! The FED and CB's really do need to raise interest rates to save pensions etc. and they need any form of inflation to help even if it's manufactured by Private Equity.
These Fuckers need to get to work passing legislation
They are, they are!

My response: GOOD!!! Rejecting anything coming from DEMOCRATS who are DESPOTS with REPROBATE MINDS is sound government policy.
I agree with "Hopeless for Change" who said: "DEMOCRATS are just ANGRY MONKEYS hurling feces at everyone." I apologize to the MONKEYS for this insult.
Obamacare doesn't cover butthurt.

I feel sorry for the Democrats that have to put up with the few stupid democrats that constantly orchestrate this stuff. Really hurting their party.
Its kind of like having the village idiot running the towns business district and everyone is powerless to do anything to change it.
The Demo-Marxist Party is made up of nothing but village idiots.
Hateful village idiots.
Bring back Scoop Jackson and Bill Bradley.
Hell, even Tulsi has been shut up lately.
Hells bells, even George Wallace would be an improvement.
These tossers need to find a new strategy. This horsecrap is getting old. Lousy election strategy as well.
So if they can't buy it hey try to shut it down. Gee... Brilliant!
ellen wein[traub] = Zionist Lobby
While the RINOs, the DOD, CIA and DJT himself work for a different Z-lobby.
Competing billionaires and oligarchs, like a massive Game Of Thrones.
Regardless of whether it's Heads or Tails, it's still the same coin. The "One Coin To Rule Them All." Keep cheering though. ;-)
Mass hysteria. Quite frightening, actually.
Mass insanity actually. Will the snowflakes ever come back in from the cold?
Shove it up your rectum, DNC. Shove it HARD.
No lube! No special treatment! We get it up the ass by taxman too with no lube.
1st Amendment, 1st Amendment, wherefore art thou 1st Amendment??
All this foriegn influence is bullshit! The Demoncat Rats and Rhinoturds have allowed it, because they let them into this country. To stop it, throw every foriegn national allowed in this country for the last 30 years out. Put an end to foriegn nationals influence send them back to where they came from or STFU, you government pukes allowed it.!!!
Seems to me the Chinks were big direct contributors to the Clinton re election campaign.
Projection.
Can someone wake Sessions up, please.
You'll have to unrap him and bring him out of his tomb.
u mean granny from beverly hillbillies?
They need to stop worrying about Infowars and Brietbart, and notice that Trump's own son is confessing to Treason. Those dumb-ass Democrats should go right to the horses mouth, quit fucking around with these crackpots like Infowars you assholes! No wonder you lost to this snake oil salesman. Here we have the guy's own son telling us he met with a KGB linked Russian Lawyer to get some espionage she gathered on Clinton, which would be illegal as hell, except all she had was some bullshit about saving Russian orphans from a horrible life in Russia, and DJT juinor was not the slightest bit interested in those little commie orphan fuckers, so he moved on.
Dumb dam democrats barking up the wrong tree. How much more information do we need before you can take some action?
Its easy to see how the Russians are taking control of the country, all of our politicians are either idiots or lunatics or hard core criminals!
Trying to overthrow a sitting President is TREASON. Sell your stupid shit someplace else,
They're not overthrowing him, thats the problem. They should be impeaching that loonie fucker but they aren't doing that either. That only leaves shooting him, which hopefully an American patriot will soon do.
Or someone could shoot your whore mother in her roten crotch
fucking worthless, stupid, dogshit, fucktard cunt. hang yourself.
Off your meds again?
what sheep dip. it's the russkis!
you should apply to work for Special Prosecutor Mueller since you probably don't have a job. You'd fit right in.
You are now being followed.
See you.
Remove the moot in your eye of interfering in other's elections first. I want foreigners to reveal US corruption, it makes our election choices better.
