Net Neutrality Comment Fraud Will Be Investigated By Government (arstechnica.com)
Last month, a number of US Representatives sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) asking it to investigate fraudulent comments submitted to the FCC's proposal to repeal net neutrality. Multiple groups found evidence that millions of the comments submitted during the FCC's public comment period were linked to fake email addresses, were fraudulently posted under others' names and addresses and were even attributed to people known to be dead. ArsTechnica reported on Wednesday that the GAO has agreed to investigate the issue. From the report: The GAO will do just that, having told Democrats in a letter that it will "review the extent and pervasiveness of fraud and the misuse of American identities during federal rulemaking processes." The investigation was requested by nine Democrats led by Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), and Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ). GAO investigations do not happen quickly. "At the current time we anticipate that staff with the required skills will be available to initiate an engagement in about five months," the office said.
Vote fraud like the DNC primary that was rigged?
Who was charged with something there, including the blatant FEC violations?
So, in other words, it is going to be investigated by an organization that accepted a fraudulent primary designed to prevent Sanders from winning.
Good luck with that!
not quite literally non-existent ... just so close to non-existent, that it has no bearing whatsoever on reality, other than a bunch of fearmongering, racist laws that in practicality do nothing other than suppress votes of minorities and marginalized groups.

Attorney Marc E. Elias working for law firm Perkins Coie, funneled money from Clinton's campaign to FusionGPS, which ended up eventually paying Russia.
Using campaign money to pay foreign government, like Russia and Ukraine, for opposition research is illegal.
Using a law firm as an intermediary shows intent to hide it.
They then refused to answer questions about it until Congress subpoenaed everything from FusionGPS and they gave up that information saying Congress didn't needed to see everything else.
FEC textbook examples of violations, no one charged to date.
But I'm sure they will do something with the FCC.
