You can keep repeating yourself a Googleplex number of times, the fact remains that the FEC declined to do anything.
It's not the FEC that matters - which is why you guys are talking past each other.
The FEC is a civil enforcement agency. They don't bring criminal charges. They investigate these things and, if they find evidence of a crime, they can refer that to DOJ.
Given the circumstances, there's no reason not to take the statement of the two Republicans on the panel at face value. The investigation was complete, all of the evidence about whether a crime had taken place was well documented and well-known to DOJ. No need for the FEC to do anything further.
Dope, the argument you're making isn't really an argument about the FEC's lack of action - but the DOJ's failure to prosecute criminal charges.
