The Federal Election Commission gave Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Convention what they deserve, fining them for lying about the funding of the fake Russian dossier used to smear Donald Trump prior to the 2016 election.
As reported by BizPacReview, a letter obtained by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation showed that the FEC fined the DNC $105,000 and the Clinton campaign $8,000.
The FEC said in the letter that Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules when they mislabeled payments that were sent to Fusion GPS, the consulting firm that commissioned the dossier via their law firm.
Indeed, Perkins Coie, the law firm, was given $1,024,407.97 by the two entities for the dossier. Clinton’s campaign and the DNC claimed the money was for legal services, failing to mention it was actually for opposition research.
The DNC gave $849,407.97 and the Clinton campaign paid $175,000.
“Solely for the purpose of settling this matter expeditiously and to avoid further legal costs, respondent[s] does not concede, but will not further contest the commission’s finding of probable cause to proceed” with the probe, the FEC noted.
Trump celebrated the FEC ruling.
“Wow! Just out that the 2016 Clinton Campaign and the DNC paid the FEC today for violating the law by failing to disclose that their payments for ‘legal advice and services’ to law firm Perkins Coie was, in fact, a guise to hire numerous companies, all of whom are now named Defendants in my lawsuits, to try and take down and illegally destroy your favorite President, me,” Trump said.
“This was done to create, as I have stated many times, and is now confirmed, a Hoax funded by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign. This corruption is only beginning to be revealed, is un-America, and must never be allowed to happen again. Where do I go to get my reputation back?” he added.

So, Mr. Durham when will the next indictments be announced?
Not until the statute of limitations runs out. You don’t really think they will let hillary go to jail, do you?
Yes, she is too old and useless to them as is Bill, who maybe thinking of buying Epstein’s Island
EVEN IF she did get charged, with a crime, HELL WILL have frozen over, before the Dept of injustice, EVER convicted her, LET ALONE sentenced her to prison.
Slapped them on the hand and put them in time out essentially. I bet they won’t ever do that again.
The “Crooked Hil-Liar-y” belongs in prison not just given a tiny fine.
AT LEAST 2 more zeroes should have been added to the end of that fine’s amount, for it to ACTUALLY MEAN something.. 8k, is a drop in the bucket for her..
$8,000.00 fine to Hillary is like an $8.00 fine is to me. Means nothing.
So the DNC and the Clintons are paying a fine of 0.1 percent of what they paid for the dossier, eight years and two elections after the offense occurred. That’ll teach ’em!
Welcome to Lawless America where the Left can commit any crime with NO concerns for the law.
DO away with the USELESS< dept of NO Justice..
The FEC finder the Clinton campaign, NOT Hellary. She is still scott free and will probably remain so. SWAMP SCUM protects SWAMP SCUM.
Seems like the fines should at least be what they paid the Attorneys for this deception.
$8K = pocket change for the Clinton Foundation! Here’s a better idea – Hillary for Prison 2022!!!
Sounds like an April Fool’s joke. It’s GOOD to the the head of a corrupt Democrat Cartel !
Where is the rule of law??? They tried to destroy a candidate for president with malicious lies!!!?? Fines? Only fines??? What a total travesty!!! Clinton and company should be in prison!!!
THe rule of law, got flushed down the toilet, ALONG WITH al thoughts about morals and Righteousness…
