   I wonder if Coinbase routinely calls up newsrooms to try to blackball people who criticize them, or if I'm just special

     @glyph unfortunately it might not even take that — the FEC is fairly toothless and partisan

     @molly0xfff reading this it occurs to me that there is a second loophole but perhaps I am just being a doomer here — it seems extremely likely to me that the Trump administration just shuts down the FEC completely or at least blows up every complaint against republican donors somehow. But I don’t know the mechanics here. Are there safeguards in place that could stop that from happening?
