By bringing this Indictment, the government draws this Court into uncharted territory in the difficult intersection between campaign finance regulation and the First Case 1:11-cr-00161-UA Document 30 Filed 09/06/11 Page 1 of 48 Amendment. For this case to go forward, this Court would have to find contrary to other courts and decisions of the Federal Election Commission ("FEC") and then be the first court in the 100 years of campaign finance law to hold that the conduct, as alleged in the Indictment, would violate the Federal Election Campaign Act ("FECA" or "Act").
