RNLA Submits FOIA request to the FEC for Democratic Commissioners

The RNLA has submitted a FOIA request to the Democratic Commissioners of the FEC for any and all ex parte communications they have had with leaders on Capitol Hill, as well as liberal advocacy groups. The RNLA's request comes after the liberal group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ("CREW") made a similar request to the FEC's Republican Commissioners.

RNLA Chair David Norcross said:

I’m pretty sure I don’t trust them. They have a habit of using FOIA requests and lawsuits and discovery and all that junk for social issues, and so, if we’re going to FOIA one side, let’s FOIA the other side. Let’s get it all out there.

Mr. Norcross’s mistrust is because CREW identifies themselves as a non-partisan group, but only targeted Republicans at the FEC. CREW’s claims of non-partisanship also fail because they are funded y the Democracy Alliance. It has been said that Democratic fundraiser George Soros is a major funder of Democracy Alliance.  

Mr. Norcross also said:

Basically, our thought was, we’re not going to let the self-proclaimed do-gooders go out and target Republicans. If we’re going to find out what’s going on over there, let’s find out what everybody’s doing. That’s the basic point of this.
