They "investigate" but never prosecute.
Another org. I believe has been infiltrated by tRump-humpers.
We'll see if they do something this time.

I agree with some of the posts that blame the gullible, but the tactic
is lower than whalesh*t and should be banned with strong enforcement
and a severe penalty for each violation.

Irrevocable disqualification from running
for future office comes to mind.

Besides, in reality it's THEFT plain and simple.
