WHAT IF LISA BLOOM CROSSED THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM LINE? It may seem a bit of a stretch but Kathryn Blackhurst of LifeZette talked to a really smart lawyer who offered this intriguing observation:

“I don’t know that campaign finance law wanted to discourage people from coming out with factual allegations about candidates or anybody in society by requiring money to be reported. That was not the real purpose of campaign finance law. Although since this does appear to be trying to influence an election, it could fall under the realm of campaign finance law,” said Mark Fitzgibbons, president of American Target Advertising in Manassas, Va.

Fitzgibbons added that it would be “very troubling from a legal ethics perspective” if a PAC associated with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign was involved in any way in Bloom’s activities.
