I wonder what the odds are that she raised more than $12,000 through her illegal promotion of the Super PAC… 🤔
That’s a laughably small fine.
The fine means she’s been found guilty, Forbes.
Your use of the word “alleged” is unnecessary, misleading and makes it sound like you’re taking the word of notoriously unhinged liar Perjury Greene over that of the FEC.
OP directly quoted article title. The article from Forbes uses allegedly to protect itself from a defamation lawsuit.
Yes yes, I know. What I’m saying is that there’s no way they’re going to be sued based on going by the determination of the FEC that anyone is guilty, least of all a politician who’s known to be a serial liar.
On the other hand, using “alleged” when she HAS been declared guilty by the government agency implies that they may have gotten it wrong and/or that their ruling isn’t legally binding. Either would add fuel to her and the rest of the GOP’s martyrdom narrative.
If anything, the FTC should begin to fine every instance of a media outlet using “alleged” when someone has legally been found guilty.
I mean yes I hear you. And agree they shouldn’t be sued. Doesn’t mean she wouldn’t try and cost them money to defend it.
Forbes is legendarily trashy journalism. Somehow in the 80s they developed a reputation as being the leading finance journal, which is just nonsense. They’re on the same level as Business Insider.
Why can’t these fuckers ever follow rules? It’s rhetorical…
It’s because there’s no actual consequences for breaking them.
If a rule isn’t enforced, it’s not a rule.
Also the judged asked her to pretty please not do it a gain cross her heart.
