Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The intent element of a crime does not require that the defendant be aware of the actual statute, or be thinking about it at the time - it only requires that the person intend to perform that actions that are forbidden (and to do them for the forbidden purpose, if it's a specific intent crime).

McCarthy covered this. There was no intent - required by the statute - to not comply with FECA. No intent, no crime.

You’re aware that McCarthy is a former federal prosecutor, right? I think he understands the law just fine.
