We are responding to your advisory opinion request on behalf of Senator Norm
Coleman and Coleman for Senate 08 (the “Committee”) concerning the application of the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the “Act”), and Commission
regulations to the use of campaign funds for the payment of certain legal fees and
expenses incurred by Senator Coleman. The Commission concludes that the Committee
may use campaign funds to pay some, but not all, of the legal fees identified in the
request."The Commission Has Been Road-Blocked": Republicans' War On The FEC | TPMMuckraker

They are ideologically opposed to the purpose of the Federal Election Commission."
