Scoop: FEC fines DNC and Clinton for Trump dossier hoax
Washington Examiner ^ | 03/30/2022 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/30/2022 9:59:03 AM PDT by Az Joe

The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory.

The election agency said that Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules on describing expenditures of payments funneled to the opposition research firm Fusion GPS through their law firm.

Slap on the wrist so they can say they “punished” people for 2016 .... as cover for 2020.

You took the words right out of my mouth. They can pay the fine with the change they find under the couch cushions.

This should pave the way for criminal charges.

Should.

How about declaring the DNC a criminal organization and a four year moratorium on any political activities?

If I recall they paid Fusion GPS over $400,000 to author/publish the work. $105K is less than 1/4 of that.

Good evidence for the trial.

Now an application needs to be made to the FEC to de-certify the DNC for the election interference, sue the recipients of the election inteference under the Emoluments Act to remove them from office, and for promoting un-Natural Born Citizens Hussein Obama and Kamala Harris in separate elections.

There are two fines. Read the article for the details.

And the other fine is 8k. You made it sound like there was something in the article to the fines. One less than a slap on the wrist the other barely a slap (105k to DNC).

So $105,000.00 and $8,000.00

And I bet they have insurance that covers it...and it won't cost them a dime.

Except for maybe a bottle for Hillary to celebrate.

Gosh! A FINE??????

Boy, that’ll sure teach them.

(But I bet this goes a long way to help Trump win his civil suit against them.)
