April 2017 Financials Breakdown

[Gym Leader Elesa]

Ngozi Robinson, Chicopee, MA - Baptist minister (?!?!)

It's Mass. It's probably a Northern Baptist, who are quite liberal.

Edited to add: You're correct that this is typically how campaign credit card charges are generally reported. I don't know if that is necessary for that to be be done if it's a on a personal credit card. My suspicion is that you would want to include a memo for every disbursement that was paid by a third party, and include a memo in the repayment for what expenses the amount was for. Like I said above, this area of the law is unusual, so I'll have to do some research.

The memo stuff is probably debatable, especially for small purchases, but reporting the dates in batches like that seems completely wrong.

I think it is unlikely the FEC will do anything, but for a different reason: Wu is a meaningless nobody who will never be in office, and doesn't collect enough funds to be worth an investigation.

There's a bit of caveat emptor in play. If you are a virtue signaling out-of-state chump donating to a Twitter hack's futile "campaign", does the FEC really need to waste its resources protecting you from the inevitable outcome when your money is spent on worthless shit and life expenses as the campaign ambles its way into a flaming dumpster?

Hopefully those donors see the junk Wu bought with their donations collecting a sickening layer of tar and ash dust in the next round of publicity photos. Gross.

The FEC is chronically underfunded and fines you can actually collect because you have someone with a job (Frank) to collect from are free money. Think of them as like little electoral speeding tickets that go into the municipal coffers. They also were dumb enough to start out by fucking up and obviously not giving a shit about technicalities.

So while they could be dismissed as just a couple loonies running a loony campaign not worth caring about, I could easily see them getting one of those $10,000 fines for some fuckup they could have easily avoided.

I hope you are right, because the salty REEEEEEing would be top shelf lulz.
