      • The defendants claim that the district court did not afford them a fair trial. Specifically, they contend that: (1) the district court erred in denying their motion for a continuance of the trial date; (2) the district court erroneously denied their discovery request for exculpatory material; (3) the district court made numerous evidentiary rulings, in limine and at trial, that unconstitutionally restricted their ability to defend against the charges; (4) the trial judge failed to conduct a voir dire sufficient to impanel an unbiased jury and improperly failed to excuse several jurors for cause; (5) the mail fraud counts were improperly joined with the tax conspiracy count; (6) the sentence imposed on LaRouche was excessive; (7) the district court erroneously instructed the jury on the tax count; and (8) the district court erred in allowing the introduction of illegally seized evidence.

      • Commission did not contest the truth of LaRouche's representations as to contributions received, it nonetheless denied him certification for matching funds for the 1992 election cycle. In essence, the Commission inferred from various factors in LaRouche's background--including his prior dealings with the Commission and his conviction for fraud partially involving election-related activities--that LaRouche's agreements and commitments were not made "in good faith". Because we agree with LaRouche that the statute gives the Commission no authority to engage in such an assessment of candidates, we reverse.

However, the court did not address specifically the adequacy of search of the Boston USA's Office.

      • After an audit and hearing, the FEC determined that the LaRouche Committee failed to carry its burden to prove that the mark-up charges were reasonable and ordered the Committee to repay the $222,034. The Committee offered no evidence before the FEC that established either the basis or the reasonableness of the mark-up charges. We conclude, therefore, that the FEC's order to the Committee to repay the matching funds used for the mark-up charges was not "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law,"
