Hat Tip to The Stakeholder

The DCCC has filed a second complaint against the NRCC and Freedoms Watch for:

  • Running a political attack ad that directly and illegally advocates the defeat of a Democratic candidate AND

  • failing to disclose the names of the donors funding that ad

They've even made a video outlining their case:

Who exactly enforces investigation into these complaints, and what would the likely result be?

The FEC does the investigation ... (0.00 / 0)
It could take awhile.  After all, the complaint against Woody was filed in 1996, and it took 'em a mere 6 years to settle the case.  

The likely result would be a fine to both the NRCC and Freedoms Watch.  Could be a minor fine, like the $2500 levied against Governor PBJ by the Louisiana Ethics Board, or it could be a major fine, like $25,000 that has been levied against some campaign finance lawbreakers.
