Chlopak noted litigants could challenge the FEC slow-walking any complaints in court if the agency hasn’t made any moves within 120 days of the complaint being filed, but even if a FEC complaint were filed this week, that deadline would still fall after Election Day.

The money is in her campaign fund, it's being spent. If the FEC ever does anything it won't be until after the election. Most likely outcome, a 3-3 vote, vote fails, no action taken.

None of this matters. File the lawsuit in Waco. Trump judge issues nationwide injunction against spending the money. Fifth Circuit affirms, SCOTUS takes its time deliberating while leaving the injunction in place. Harris goes bankrupt. Trump wins.

It does matter. There is no standing. The FEC transferred the money. There is nothing to enjoin. Although I gotta say— “we can do nothing because our Judge is Waco will rubber stamp it and so will SCOTUS” is exactly why people are so excited to vote for not Trump. “our pet judge in Tx will impose any nationwide law we want and SCOTUS won’t stop him”. Do you hear yourself.

If this happens, which is really quite possible given what we have seen judges do lately, it would be really, really wild.

It would also hand Kamala the win. Oddly, authoritarianism isn’t a winning platform.

It does say in forbes that any lawsuit would not be settled until after the election.

Forbes is wrong. The courts can do anything they want as quickly as they want. So they can quickly issue the emergency injunction freezing the money. The courts can then leave it in place while they drag their feet on the substantive issue of whether Harris can use the money. Winning!

Too late!

But if that's your plan, talk about weaponizing the justice system!

Anyway, she got $81 million in the last 24 hours, and if a conservative judge tried to freeze Biden's money the donors would refill her coffers in a day or two.

They won't have any standing for a lawsuit or injunction if they aren't going through the FEC's process.

Listen up. Ending the Democrat Party once and for all is well worth ignoring standing and looking corrupt.

If there is a statutory requirement that the complaint go through the agency first the entity cannot sue. I am not sure about federal election law but I work in an agency with a similar requirement.
