By now, the entire political world should already be aware of the Melania Trump plagiarism allegations. After all, entire portions of her speech were lifted from Michelle Obama, and the Trump organization even sent out a letter acknowledging that fact.

Now, things are getting even more serious. Not only is this bad for their public image, but a complaint has just been filed with the Federal Election Commission claiming that the Trump campaign violated federal election law.

Meredith Mclver, the woman who tried to take the blame for writing Melania’s speech, doesn’t work for the Trump campaign. She works for the Trump organization. There’s a difference – and it’s a big one (as far as the law is concerned). If she did, indeed, help Melania with her speech, as she admits by her very own writing, then she broke campaign finance laws, it’s as simple as that....

But – here’s what we know – she definitely is not a paid employee for Trump’s presidential campaign. No record exists of her receiving compensation in any form. And, if she is, the Trump campaign didn’t list it. That in itself would also be a violation since campaigns are supposed to list all in-kind contributions of goods and services on a regular basis.

Extra butter on mine, please.
