The Federal Election Commission has reportedly fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee over complaints that they violated federal law in improperly describing expenditures to law firm Perkins Coie, who then hired research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation published a letter said to be from the FEC, in response to the foundation's complaint against Hillary for America and the DNC. The Washington Examiner first reported on the memo.
TRUMP SUES HILLARY CLINTON, DNC, OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN RUSSIA PROBE
"After conducting an investigation in this matter, the Commission found probable cause to believe that the DNC Services Corp./Democratic National Committee and Virginia McGregor in her official capacity as treasurer (the "DNC") violated 52 U.S.C. § 30104(b)(5)(A) and (b)(6)(B)(v) and 11 C.F.R.§ 104.3(b)(3)(i)," the memo said.

What happened was CRIMINAL.
This is a civil remedy and now the Clinton gang will be able to say its already been dealt with (as a civil matter).
I firmly believe they worked in conjunction with the FEC to try and get ahead of what they fear may be coming.
Just my .02
Amen
Because of this, Trump’s civil case attorneys can present the act that the FEC already found Hillary guilty, and can put FEC investigators on the stand to explain why. What a shame.
