  100% he'll get busted for wire fraud. Slam dunk prosecution.
context: The man got $750,000 in campaign donations he passed off as his own money and reported it as his own money. That’s fraud no matter how you slice it. That it reportedly came from a Putin ally is the least surprising revelation. >
  
  Also please correct me if I'm spreading Reddit rumors, but didn't he also not live at the address he put down for his paperwork? That has to be illegal in some way. >
  
  You'd think so, wouldn't you? Turns out our democracy has been held together by rubber bands and gentleman's agreements this entire time. >
  
  That works when politicians are, at their core, gentlemen (or gentlewomen). This batch of Red-Hatted Frauds is not. >
  
  and he's admittedly been to Moscow many times....wonder where that 700K came from? >
  
  Sounds good to me >
  
  Wait, so I can file the paperwork to run as a candidate for congress under the banner of one of two major national parties, win the primary, win the general and nobody will verify any of my personal bio that I've put forward until after I've won? 
  Crazy that being submitted to a basic background check isn't part of the process for running and journalists aren't doing them independently trying to sniff out liars for stories and articles before elections. Why wait until now to look into these things? >
  
  I agree 100% it comes under the wtf clause
