The FEC newly minted quorum will be giving Rep. Marsha Blackburn hassles now that the governing body can now act on the complaints filed against her — but she does have an ace in hole:

Perhaps fortunate for Blackburn is that one of the newly minted commissioners is the same McGahn who’s been working on her FEC problems. But CREW’s executive director, Melanie Sloan, said he will have to recuse himself. McGahn did not respond to a call seeking comment.

McGahn, a veteran GOP campaign finance expert, also helped negotiate the FEC settlement that closed down former Texas congressman and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s Americans for a Republican Majority political action committee, ARMPAC.
