This is an incredible story that has not been covered in the Australian press, illustrating the sheer corruption of the Left in politics. Donald Trump's team has filed a challenge with the US Electoral commission, to try and stop Harris from receiving all of the donations which were made to Biden, when she was not a candidate in the election. "The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday, accusing Vice President Harris's campaign of improperly taking over President Biden's campaign funds when he left the race Monday.
The complaint, reported by The New York Times, came after the Biden campaign account changed its name to "Harris for President" on Monday following the president's announcement that he would not seek reelection.
"Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden's leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended," Trump campaign counsel David Warrington wrote.
A Statement of Candidacy needed to be filed, which was not. That should be a cut-and-dry admin case, but just watch the Electoral Commission turn a blind eye to it, requiring yet another legal challenge.

"Those trying to install Kamala Harris as president now that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race and mysteriously disappeared after "catching COVID" are "committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history," the campaign of Donald Trump is arguing in a new challenge filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Though a "long shot," according to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump campaign hopes to stop Kamala from receiving all of the cash "donations" that were made for Biden when she was not a candidate in the race.
Trump's campaign says Kamala fraudulently took funds intended for Biden and redirected them to herself, this according to a letter sent to the FEC that was viewed by the Journal.
"Until Sunday, while Joe Biden had previously stated his intention to place Kamala Harris' name in nomination to be his running mate, Kamala Harris was not actually a candidate for anything," wrote Trump lawyer David A. Warrington in the letter.
"Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission's own forms to do it."
Even Democrats don't want Kamala (and neither do voters in California, her home state)
For the past couple of days while the world was still digesting Biden's sudden departure, FEC commissioners and election finance lawyers have been duking it out over whether or not funneling Biden's cash to Kamala is legal.
"Either way," the Journal reported, "it's unlikely the Trump campaign's challenge will affect Harris' spending through November."
What do you think: Is the Journal right that Trump's FEC challenge is a long shot or will it succeed now that the Democrat house of cards seems to be tumbling at increasing speed as Election Day approaches?
On the one hand, Biden originally filed his candidacy with Kamala as his vice president, which some say means she deserves the financial war chest. On the other, many of the people who donated to Biden for president never would have donated to Kamala for president had they known she would be suddenly substituted under questionable circumstances.
"Biden has full authority to transfer that money to Kamala's campaign," one commenter argued. "And no paperwork is due until the quarterly filing deadline unless it's the last quarter, then it's due monthly. This is a Trump marketing ploy."
Another joked in much the same vein that the only thing that awaits Kamala from this FEC challenge is "a strongly worded letter," meaning no punishment and no forced send-back of all that cash will occur.
"Biden was installed under a huge cloud of suspicious activity and 'malarkey,'" wrote another. "He is going out the same way."
No matter which way the FEC challenge goes, Trump is sure to make Kamala's life "a living hell," suggested another. "I can't wait to watch it unfold."

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has grabbed all of Joe Biden's campaign cash, and in response the Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the FEC…
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday, accusing Vice President Harris's campaign of improperly taking over President Biden's campaign funds when he left the race Monday.
The complaint, reported by The New York Times, came after the Biden campaign account changed its name to "Harris for President" on Monday following the president's announcement that he would not seek reelection.
"Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden's leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended," Trump campaign counsel David Warrington wrote.
If you choose to run for a federal office, you must file a Statement of Candidacy with the FEC.
There are no exceptions.
Kamala Harris has not done this.
Instead, she has just replaced Joe Biden's name with her own name…
The complaint argues that if "Kamala Harris were a candidate for something in 2024, federal law requires her to have filed a Statement of Candidacy and for her name to have appeared in the name of her authorized committee. But Kamala Harris's name does not appear in the name of her purported authorized committee, 'Biden for President,' and, until Sunday, no Statement of Candidacy existed for her. Then Sunday, rather than filing her own Statement of Candidacy, she merely altered Joe Biden's to replace his name with hers. There is no mechanism under the Act for one individual to end another's federal candidacy by simply amending the other's Form 2. Moreover, in that purported amended Form 2 Harris designated 'Biden for President' as her principal campaign committee and then renamed it. Altering a document submitted to a federal agency is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1519.3."
There is another allegation that is even more alarming.
It is being alleged that millions of dollars from wealthy donors are being chopped up into hundreds of thousands of small donations "made in the name of people who have no clue they've donated"…
Democrat donation platform ActBlue has been accused of a engaging in a "MASSIVE money laundering operation," by which contributions from large donors are being funneled through hundreds of thousands of small donations made in the name of people who have no clue they've donated.
If these allegations are true, we are talking about fraud on a historic scale.
James O'Keefe says that he has proof that more than 200 million dollars has been "laundered" by the Democrats…

One Person "contributed " $217,000 through 12,000 different contributions in a 3 year period, in variations of his name & address.
Thousands of transactions laundering hundreds of millions of dollars
Even though the FEC has been alerted, everyone pretty much agrees that it is going to take years for them to do anything…
It's unlikely that the commission would take any action until well after Election Day, given its slow pace of resolving enforcement questions.
"I don't think most campaign finance lawyers believe that this is a best reading of the law," Rick Hasen, an election law expert at UCLA's law school, told CNN on Tuesday of the Trump campaign's argument. But, he added, "that doesn't mean it can't get tied up in FEC proceedings for years."
By the time the FEC finally resolves the questions that are now being raised, the election will have been over for a very long time.
In the end, someone might get slapped with a fine.
This is yet another example that demonstrates that our system has become a complete and utter joke.
We live in a nation that is in a very advanced stage of decay, and our politicians are some of the biggest lawbreakers of all.
Now that lawlessness is reigning from the very top of our society to the very bottom, how much time do we have left before it fully collapses?"
