Ethics Complaint: Terry McAuliffe Reportedly Accepted $350K Donation from Foreign Entity Linked to Money Laundering Probe

Hmmm... filed 24-hours before the on-site voting happens in Virginia...
Certainly worth investigating, as accepting foreign funds for campaigns in Federal Elections is illegal (not so sure about State campaigns - I think that would be up to States' own laws - but I'd be shocked if any State did NOT make it illegal!). Despite the claims of some of the sites contributing to Breitbart's story, I don't think Federal Elections laws apply to non-Federal elections. That's a hallmark of our democracy: elections are local, and our system is entirely de-centralized... making the kind of system-wide "conspiracy" that is central to the "Trump 2020 lie" almost impossible to achieve!
That said, I'm not a lawyer at all - and that means I'm definitely not an elections lawyer.
But the timing of the complaint smells...
I don't think the Republican Candidate against McCauliffe (Glenn Youngkin) needs any "shady" help... he should be able to defeat this Dem fair and square! Even in a State (VA) that's been leaning Blue lately...
