FEC Fines Hillary Clinton, DNC Over Steele Dossier Hoax

WEDNESDAY, MAR 30, 2022 - 03:25 PM
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.
-Washington Examiner
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.

I love how this "article" calls Russian collusion a hoax. Mueller never said that. His report stated they couldn't prove it, but also had to deal with unprecedented obstruction from a sitting president who dangled pardons so people like Manafort or Roger Stone wouldn't flip. Let the gaslighting continue!

Of course it was a Hoax. How am I be so sure? They impeached Trump over a fake phone transcript with the President of Ukraine. In what world would Nancy and Adam let Trump slide over the Russian collusion? Unless Nancy and Adam were on the take, too. Hmm.....

I cannot explain why they didn't impeach. Maybe they should have. I mean, Mueller did say Trump obstructed the investigation. But, the reality is the GOP has no morals or ethics. They would likely have voted to acquit regardless of what Trump did. That's how the role. They don't care if someone is a pedophile or human trafficker, like Matt Gaetz and Roy Moore, as long as they get what they want (three Supreme Court justices).

I'll tell you why. The "evidence" would have to be presented in the House for all to see- no secret investigation, there. She looked at it and passed. As for Gaetz. That's what the courts are for. Until the cases are tried and verdicts rendered, wtf are you talking about?

The reason why?
The DOJ won't indict a sitting president so Mueller never went there.

Of course rump isn't POTUS now, is he?

He is.

And I bet he'll drop it when they start discovery, because he will need to testify under oath. And we all know how good he is at that, having to tell the truth for extended periods of time might just kill him....
If its limited to the steel dossier then I think he will do fine.

Putin is a Trillionaire, The King of Kings wants to be. Once Roger Stone's plan is carried out and Donato becomes Autocrat, he'll get the keys to Ft Knox.

...I hope Nature Boy Mike Lindell has been consulted.

Yes, but he'd have to answer some pretty uncomfortable questions regarding some of the allegations raised in the Steele dossier. Things like why so many Russian Oligartch bought property off of him at such inflated prices? I'm willing to bet that this will either be thrown out of court, or Trump will quietly pull the plug. It's most likely another PR campaign to show how tough he is and his willingness to seek retribution to the rubes.
