According to the report several of the employees of massage parlors and other businesses associated with Yang who contributed $5,400 appeared to be of modest means \u2013 working as receptionists and giving facials - and atypical of contributors giving such large amounts to political campaigns or committees.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe circumstances brought to light by media reports raise a number of red flags that warrant investigation as possible violations of campaign finance laws that are in place to prevent the corruption of public officials through excessive contributions,\u201d <strong>sabi ni Paul S. Ryan, Bise presidente ng Common Cause para sa patakaran at paglilitis<\/strong>. \u201cIf these potential violations are substantiated by investigators, they must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law in order to serve as a deterrent to other potential violators. This alleged scheme was only unearthed by the hard work of a team of investigative journalists. The overwhelming majority of political contributions never receive such scrutiny.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cMoney is routinely used to buy access and influence in Washington and at the state and local levels, making it vital that our political contribution limits be strictly enforced to prevent corruption and even the appearance of corruption which undermines public faith in our elected officials,\u201d <strong>sabi ni Karen Hobert Flynn, presidente ng Common Cause<\/strong>. \u201cOur campaign finance laws have repeatedly been weakened by the Supreme Court, but those still in effect must be enforced. And Congress must take steps to pass new laws - like many of those included in the For the People Act recently passed by the House - to fight the overwhelming influence of large donors and special interests in Washington.\u201d\r\n\r\nTo read the DOJ complaint, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Common-Cause-v.-Cindy-Yang-et-al._DOJ-Cover-and-Complaint_3.18.19.pdf\">i-click dito<\/a>.\r\n\r\nTo read the FEC complaint,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Common-Cause-v.-Cindy-Yang-et-al._FEC-Complaint_Notarized_3.18.19.pdf\">i-click dito<\/a>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DOJ &amp;
