The Miami Herald quotes Craig Holman on former GOP Congressman David Rivera’s fine
By Alex Daugherty
“Craig Holman, a government ethics expert and lobbyist with the left-leaning think tank Public Citizen, said it’s uncommon for the FEC to pursue fines in recent years unless it’s an open-and-shut case.”
“‘Commissioners on both sides of the aisle must have been aghast by the evidentiary record in this case,’ said Holman, who once filed a complaint against the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation for unlawful political activity that led to a $3.8 million FEC fine. The cash collected from FEC fines goes to the U.S. government’s general fund.'”
