From The Lever: THE NEW MASTER PLAN TO EXPAND CITIZENS UNITED
A Trump appointee at the Federal Election Commission is now pressing to move the agency out of expensive Washington, D.C., and to Odessa, Texas, all in the name of “address[ing] taxpayer waste while improving the agency’s efficiency.”
Sounds reasonable and apolitical… until you realize what journalist Michael Beckel points out:
that would move one of the last remaining anti-corruption watchdogs under the jurisdiction of the notorious Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
That’s the Trump-packed, corruption-drenched circuit that the conservative movement and Elon Musk use as their preferred abattoir for policies they want killed.
The circuit includes Trump-appointed James Ho, who has been an outspoken opponent of campaign finance laws.
