Report: Obama Films Campaign Ad In White House, Possibly Violating FEC Laws?

So business as usual? Most of what Government does is cover it's own arse.

 

As I said, your flawed argument 'since there is not investigation there is no crime'.

The law......................

 

I've said no such thing about everything that happens in this country, I am specifically talking about a specific action Obama engaged in. But you having to resort to hyperbole is quite telling.

Is official business conducted in the Map Room? Yes or no?
Is it a discrete part of the PRIVATE residence? Yes or no?

 

Your need to change my argument is...telling.

You claim that the crime is "obvious", yet there's no news of an investigation, or charges being filed, or any action being taken other than a little "political theater" by a GOP Congressman. That's certainly evidence that your assessment of the incident isn't shared by those responsible for enforcing campaign law.

 

I'm trying to address it head on, but this is a two way conversation, your turn to respond.

Is official business conducted in the Map Room? Yes or no?
Is it a discrete part of the PRIVATE residence? Yes or no?

 

Repeating the same questions I've already addressed is not anything but annoying. Try addressing my last statement.

Are you aware that when the US Government breaks the law, it typically goes unnoticed?

 

This wasn't the "US Government" it was Obama. It hasn't gone unnoticed, it's just gone un-investigated and un-prosecuted.

 

You've dodged them try again, simple yes or no will suffice.

Is official business conducted in the Map Room? Yes or no?
Is it a discrete part of the PRIVATE residence? Yes or no?

 

And the question is why when it is such a blatant violation of the law. You are asserting the because there is no investigation then it was not, what warped logic.

Is official business conducted in the Map Room? Yes or no?
Is it a discrete part of the PRIVATE residence? Yes or no?

 

Because your assertion that it's a violation of the law apparently is incorrect. If this violation is so "blatant" why isn't every Republican politician screaming for Obama's head on a platter? Because they don't agree with your assessment of the law, that's why.

Nothing warped about it at all. You can repeat the same posts over and over but in the end, you don't interpret the law, the courts do, and no prosecutor worth a dam will take a case to court that he doesn't think he can win.

The RNC has called for a formal investigation and so has Issa.

Fail.

So answer my questions, your assertion that since there is no investigation, which may or may not be true as in may not be public, there is not crime is specious.

I'm aware of both of these points, as a matter of fact, I posted some comments from Issa in this thread, notably that he doesn't think anything will come of the "hearings" he wants to hold, and that it's just a bit of political "theater". Care to try again?

Why hasn't every Republican politician mentioned this every time a microphone is in front of them if, as you contend, this is a "blatant" violation of the law?

Or perhaps all you have left is "fail"?

 

Then quit harping about no calls for an investigation.
The fact remains filming in the Map Room violates the law.

Now do you support just ignoring the law or should someone be held accountable. In the future are we just going to turn a blind eye when say President Perry films a campaign ad in the Oval Office?

 

Ok, there have been no serious calls for an investigation, only one Senator who wants to engage in some "political theater" (his words).

The fact remains that you are stating your opinion, not a fact, and as far as I know, you aren't a lawyer, or any kind of expert on the law.

I think someone should be held accountable if they are charged with a crime and found guilty. I don't think anyone should be held accountable because you believe they violated a law.

I hope not, because filming in the Oval Office is very likely a violation of the law you are referring to...which of course is probably why no one films campaign ads there. Do you have any other absurd questions or silly analogies?
