FEC Fines Hillary Clinton, DNC Over Steele Dossier Hoax

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has fined both Hillary Clinton's
2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for lying
about funding the Russian "dossier" which underpinned the collusion
hoax that hijacked headlines throughout the Trump presidency,
according to the Washington Examiner.

The Clinton-funded dossier was also used by the FBI to justify seeking
a FISA surveillance (spy) warrant on the Trump campaign.

According to the FEC, Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules
governing disclosure of expenditures on opposition research, when they
paid opposition research firm Fusion GPS to contract with Steele and
cook up propaganda against Trump.

    A combined $1,024,407.97 was paid by the treasurers of the DNC and
Clinton campaign to law firm Perkins Coie for Fusion GPS’s
information, and the party and campaign hid the reason, claiming it
was for legal services, not opposition research.

    Instead, the DNC’s $849,407.97 and the Clinton campaign’s $175,000
covered Fusion GPS’s opposition research on the dossier, a basis for
the so-called “Russia hoax” that dogged Trump’s first term.

The dossier, which was assembled by former (?) UK spook Christopher
Steele and used now-indicted Russian national Igor Danchenko as its
primary source, made wide ranging and salacious allegations against
former President Donald Trump, most of which have been debunked.

Somehow we doubt the 'election interference' crowd is going to pipe up
over Clinton's meddling in the 2016 US election, using a dossier that
undermined Trump's presidency every step of the way.

According to the FEC memo to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation - which
filed a complaint over three years ago, Clinton's campaign and the DNC
argued that they were simply paying for "legal advice and services,"
since it was Perkins Coie that actually hired Fusion GPS. The agency,
however, says that the law is clear and was violated.

The fines themselves are minuscule - with Clinton's treasurer hit for
$8,000 and the DNC's treasurer for $105,000.

"This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton — one of the
most evidently corrupt politicians in American history — has actually
been held legally accountable, and I'm proud to have forced the FEC to
do their job for once. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that with
pluck and grit, Americans who stand with integrity can stand up to the
Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites," said Dan Backer,
who brought the complaint on behalf of the foundation.
