On April 12, the Federal Election Commission considered whether to let U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein raise more money from contributors who had already given her the maximum donation, for he re-election campaign this year. See this story, which says the FEC Commissioners spent considerable time talking about the case, but didn’t come to a conclusion. The FEC will consider the request again on April 26.

The reason for Feinstein’s request is that the money she raised originally was stolen by her campaign treasurer, and she has little hope of recovering more than a fraction of that money.
