I already won the appeal to authority fallacy battle with Mueller. FWIW, I have a longer resume of directly relevant experience; I'm not shooting from the hip here.
From a regulatory standpoint, FEC Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub, also an attorney, knows she doesn't have a case. If she did then by Sirkicky's interpretation he is also implying that she isn't upholding the rules she is charged with upholding. Is anyone going to make that case?
Weintraub knew she didn't have a case that would hold up in court with the Donald Jr.-Russia meeting, which is why instead of filing notice to Trump she signed on with a group who is currently seeking to change rule language to include that sort of thing.
Furthermore, that instance was only applicable to campaign relevant circumstances, not the grey area where Trump's current reelection campaign and his duties as executive overlap.
We are too soon into this one for the FEC to have already taken action against Trump, but if you, Napolitano, and Kicky's interpretation is correct then the regulatory body that has a heavy hand in crafting this legislation has an obligation here. I highly doubt they will.
