Spocko<p>Remember when <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HerschelWalker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HerschelWalker</span></a> was running for Senator? That was nuts! During the campaign there were lots of questions about his funding <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/emails-reveal-jaw-dropping-herschel-walker-money-scandal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thedailybeast.com/emails-revea</span><span class="invisible">l-jaw-dropping-herschel-walker-money-scandal</span></a><br>Unlike George Santos, Walker lost, so the drive to investigate his campaign finance violations stalled. How many cases are like this? I once tried to alert the FEC to a campaign financial violation of a local race. I learned the FEC gives people multiple chances to fix things, &amp; the FEC gives the candidates the benefit of the doubt.</p>
