What’s Next for President Elect (to Be) Colbert?

It may not be clear even to Colbert.  But if Colbert keeps this going for a while, here are some things he could do without running afoul of the FEC’s porous coordination rules:

1. He could fundraise for the Super PAC, so long as he does not ask for more than $5,000.

2. He could take footage from the Super PAC’s ads, and use them in his own ads.

3. If we are far enough from the election, he might even be able to appear in a Super PACs ads.

In other words, Colbert can explain how he can coordinate without illegally coordinating.  Theater of the absurd indeed.
