Further to Scoop Liebenthal's report:
Candidate "acted violently," declares former Gableman mandarin
GOPer Dan Mielke's campaign video features a shot — appropriated, he claims, from a "Fruit Films" production — of a vehicle emblazoned with a cartoon erection and the word "cock" scrawled alongside it.

There appears to be some coordination between the Mielke campaign and the organization Citizens for an Open and Honest Government of which Mielke is a co-founder. If this is the case, it would violate GAB - WI campaign laws.
Just in case Rachel is wondering what Puck is doing these days.
sorry...federal race. should say federal campaign laws. (FEC.gov)
I think there may be more than one Citizens for an Open and Honest Government.
Either way the organization who produced the video, needs to be registered with the FEC if they spend at least $1000 on a federal race ($100 if it is a state race) i.e. the cost of the video & distribution, etc. whether a C4 or PAC/527.
In addition, coordination of political strategy with the candidate is not permitted; i.e. Mielke posting the video on his website, promoting it & the apparent knowledge of the video prior to the release.
