For your Cynthia McKinney files

We’ve been neglectful in not passing along this Sept. 27 audit by the Federal Election Commission of two years’ worth of campaign disclosures filed by then-congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.

In 2005 and 2006 — the election cycle preceding her defeat — McKinney’s finance committee “accepted 14 contributions from individuals and political committees that exceeded the [$2,100 per individual federal] limit by $21,300,” the audit said.

The congresswoman from DeKalb County was able to explain away or redirect all but $9,700 of that cash, auditors said.

Fines are possible. “The commission may initiate an enforcement action, at a later time, with respect to any of the matters discussed in this report,” the paperwork says.

I hope she’s not going to raise the price of her T-shirts because of this.

Is her son still away at school in Europe? I always thought it was tacky that a democrackkk of HER stature would take their kid OUT of a government screwl. Was he too good for government screwls?

You were not “neglectful”. You were doing your duty: helping make the corrupt look honest and the honest corrupt.

That’s all the mainstream media is good for anymore— after two stolen presidential elections— and worse.

Almost all political campaigns do this, it’s just who the media choose to report about publicly. Ask anyone who knows.

Civilization pivots on urban culture. The national meta-crimes - assassination of leaders, finance of Nazism and the Holocaust, Korea, Vietnam, 9/11 and false war without end - and the easily deduced multi-generatonal treason and guilt of Rome’s Fifth Column meta-criminal false-elite hierarchy, identified by Our Founder, Th. Jefferson, as the “real Anti-Christ,” want only the hue and cry of Atlanta and Americans seeking righteousness across Our Great Land to obtain Justice. Truth established, the bi-partisan corruption will end and expectations raised for proven integrity: Probity, to be the only acceptable political currency for election by an outraged People.
