What if a candidate’s low on campaign funds–Fred Harris or Jimmy Carter early in ’76 or Cornel West? The candidate can’t “live off the land” by staying in supporters’ houses if the houses are too nice! Supporters go to jail https://t.co/9xhAGyxmxG

You’re a Dem who supports Obama in 2008. You let him stay and rest up at your fabulous beachside house for a long summer weekend. That’s an in-kind contribution worth more than $2,700, so according to the Pildes/Merchan FEC gloss it’s illegal. You go to jail! https://t.co/byLyKjU7ck

This is a joke–Merchan’s instructions adopt Pildes II. https://t.co/W9jKIJU1ZD But did jury decide Trump intended to violate Pildes II as opposed to being led astray by Pildes I? We’re criminalizing failure to keep up with readings of complex laws even law professors waffle on.

CORRECTION? The @Politico article says “4,000 daily border crossings over the course of a week.” That could mean 4,000 each day (as I read it) or it could mean an *average* of 4,000/day over a week. Either way that’s potentially 1.45 million a year before anything’s triggered. https://t.co/8ghBYZl1sk

I would bet Biden will do his long-advertised for-show border plan, except the “4,000-a-day-get-in” point gives Trump a cudgel to beat him with in debate in few weeks.

So maybe no. https://t.co/MQxENQ8u1b

Or better yet, get the FEC out of the inherently vague “personal expenses” business and focus on restricting clearly defined campaign expenditures–eg TV ads, campaign salaries, etc. Just a thought. https://t.co/IXqoR91Vgg

Everyone said Bragg’s prosecution was the weakest of the cases against Trump, and in legal terms it was. But York notes that in another, emotional sense it was the strongest case–it was the only one that allowed Dems to relitigate the outcome of the humilating 2016 election. https://t.co/XJn0mFtyB1

One of the things campaigns do is try to hide the defects of their candidate. An annoying aspect of Bragg prosecution is the idea that that is somehow an illegal attempt to “hoodwink” voters.
