Market regulation of, by, and for the people

Breitbart reports on the developing implosion of the Soros group's Media Matters organization. The concluding paragraph of the article is as follows:

"Meanwhile, President Trump’s allies continue to investigate whether Media Matters violated consumer protection laws by raising funds under false pretenses, part of a broader crackdown on what many in the conservative movement see as a speech cartel designed to suppress dissent."

Any governmental investigation into funding Soros organizations has got to be centered on the abuse of the SEC's discretionary authority. The SEC is chartered with recovering funds illicitly obtained by bad actors in the American equity market, and returning those disgorged funds to the injured investors. However, all too frequently, that does not happen. The SEC decides to send the money they recovered to the US Treasury instead, where it needs to be determined how much of that money went through USAID before going to Soros entities. Does the USAID shutdown explain the developing financial crisis at Media Matters, etc.? I tried to obtain this information through FOIA years ago, to no avail.

Are business executives in SEC cases, such as Humanigen's, faced with the political (and financial?) motivations of the individual SEC plaintiffs? Is this why the SEC failed so miserably to recognize the gross incompetence of the FDA in this case, which should have resulted in regulatory Authorization or Approval of Lenzilumab in 2021?
