Exactly. In fact, the "use of surreptitious means, such as cash, conduits,or false documentation, to conceal the violation" is the first example the manual gives as "evidence that has been used" to establish knowing and willful violations.

Does he brag? That’s hilarious. That man has like the absolute zero of BDE. (You don’t even need a physical big dick, Nancy Pelosi has plenty.)

To beat the You Did So Know riposte versus the Dummy Defense, expect Team Turnip to deploy the Blowhard Gambit. They'll stipulate that their principal client claiming to have know anything "better than anyone" is cast substantially into doubt by his repeated claims of such on topics which he has demonstrated by his actions to know exactly nothing, and ask that the same standard should be applied in evaluating these claims.

Now I'm half-expecting the Reagan defense of "The President doesn't know what he used to know because he's suffering from advanced Alzheimer's and so has no business remaining in government and therefore cannot be held accountable for flagrantly willfully violating the law".

FYI - D'Minished D'Ranged didn't "bundle" political campaign contributions. He reimbursed people who made them. This article shows how hard it is to violate modern campaign finance laws - yet he managed to do it!

Pass it anyway. Call his bluff on the veto. Send the bill to him with a Diet Coke.
