Former Chairman Smith th n xplains why these criminal charges" and dozens of others aren't crimes at all, but rather normal allowable campaign expenditures, that would not have raised an eyebrow at 'the FEC He cites similar cases Handled by the FEC which were dismissed.

Why would the prosecutors ignore basic FEC rules and create "crimes" out of thin air?

!he answer, Mr. President, is given in the short report from JUDICIAL WATCH titled: PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, CLINTON CONNECTION IN DUNCAN HUNTER CASE. It follows this letter and Former Chairman Bradley's letter. The report chronicles how the lead prosecutors attended Hillary Clinton's fund-raiser, without paying, on tax-payer time (in violation of the Hatch Act and DOJ guidelines) and when caught, avoiding recusal, offered the alibi that they were "on official business" advising the Secret Service at Hillary's event in case a donor caused a disturbance.

Their lie was exposed by JUDICIAL WATCH's FOIA lawsuit, which revealed e-mails reflecting two enthusiastic Clinton supporters with no mention of "official business". Take a look at the FOIA'd e-mails, extracted by JUDICIAL WATCH after Duncan and Margaret had plead out. Justice withheld them for 11/2 years. The full e-mail exchange:

The partisan n ship of the tai ted a a a Duncan r n prosecution w s lso displ yed in the indictment of and Marga et o e e e the eve of th 2018 l ction. The Clin!on pa�isan� in e e e dicted Duncan and Margaret on da b fo� his e August 21, 2018, only 76 ys . �l ct1on, violating th DOJ e r n policy, (promulgated during th Clinton adm1nist at on) of not i dictin t e 1 g candida es within a 90 day period preceding the lection.

Smith points out that FEC records reflect that Idaho was a significant source of funds for Hunter's campaign. He points out that 14 months earli a er, Democr tic Congressman Rob Andrews had a similar case which was dismissed by the FEC. He concludes: "Thus it appears highly likely that in civil enfor� enforcement before the agency with primary ement responsibilitie e ed s for th FECA, Congressman Hunter's d ecision to � di_ng ?f a campaig attend a n supporter in Boise would not even have triggered a civil invest1gat1on, let alone a possible Congress criminal violation and there is little reason that man Hunter or his staff would have use." Former expected it to be considered personal FEC Chairman Bradley A Smith Former �hairman Smith further notes that 40 e e e e games with of th Hunt r "ov rt acts", m als and golf proven contributors are allowed under FECA: "As a g_eneral ru�e, it is not a violation entertainment of FECA or FEC regulations to pay for meals or with campaign contributors", he writes. Mr. President, the major "overtact", that the Clinton partisans list Duncan as having "Committed"in his plea is the taking to dinner in a Washington D.C. restaurant two contributors and two Congressional colleagues (who sponsored a lot of his legislation). Totally legal and appropriate expenditure of campaign money.

Once again the Clinton partisans charged him with "criminal acts" that throw so broad a "loop" that they would ensnare every member of Congress if they were crimes, which they are not.

The prosecution was tainted from the start by the refusal to recuse the demonstrably biased prosecutors. Every A�erican deserves even-handed , un-biased treatm�.nt from the Justice Department. Unbiased prosecuto:s would not have prosecu�ed the non­ crimes" that Former FEC Chairman Bradley dissect�. They would_ h_a�e _ng�tf�lly deferred to the FEC to handle questionable expenditures under c1v1I 1unsd1ct1on.

Former FEC Chairman Smith also notes that Hunter's aud�t in 2016 of his own · e e cam �rgn was followed by a reimbursement of all expenditures.that w re ��n e e � o ble This occurred two years before the indictment, with �unt r giving th ����t� ;;the· voters before the 2016 election, and they re-elected him.

SfC can hammered th� Army brass Duncan for help. Dun Martland serves today and has named one of his sons after Duncan and the other after Pat Tillman. Mr. President and Jared, SFC Martland's letter to you is included in this packet.It is heart-warming.

When Eddie Gallagher was in his most difficult days, in the words of his wife Andrea, "Almost every congressman took a knee except DLJncan Hunter, who stood up."Eddie and Andrea's letter to you Mr. President is included in this packet.

�ne last story. You may recall when, during the Capitol Art Contest, a picture was hung 1n the halls of Congress depicting policemen as pigs shooting unarmed citizens. For several weeks Four hundred and thirty four representatives passed the picture, "deploring" it. Duncan took it down, returning it to the Congressional office that sponsored it. The Capitol Hill policemen and law enforcement officers across the country sent in their thanks. The liberals held press conferences attacking him. Once more he had been truly representative of the American people.

Mr. President, the final say on Duncan's and Margaret's case is in your hands. It has so far been a case without justice. You possess the last measure of justice ... a pardon.

The three Hunter Grandchildren and Lynne and I would have a truly joyous Thanksgiving if it was blessed with a Pardon.
