TPMMuckraker offers this report, which quotes (but does not link to) my recent Slate column on the FEC.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports Republicans on FEC want firms to be able to raise money for candidates.
As I said in my Slate piece, the FEC is as good as dead, and I see no hope on the horizon, short of a voluntary decision on the part of Don McGahn to decide to return to private practice. Even then, I can envision a standoff between Sen. McConnell and President Obama over a replacement appointment to the FEC. The idea (mentioned in the TPM piece) that Rep. Issa would consider holding hearings on this question seems laughable to me.
