Trump deserves far more reporting of Hillary et al being fined by the FEC over the Russian Dossier. Amazing. Trump was right once again. “Clinton’s treasurer $8,000” brought the deed right to the Clinton door step. Of course just a drop in the bucket for the Clinton crime family. The principal of winning this fight remains. It deserves attention.
This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton—evidently one of the most corrupt politicians in American history—has actually been held legally accountable, and I’m proud to see the FEC do its job for once,” Coolidge Reagan attorney Dan Backer, who authored the FEC complaint, said in a statement. “The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that, with pluck and grit, Americans standing with integrity can stand up to the Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites. Clinton and her cronies willfully engaged in the greatest political fraud in history, destroying our nation’s faith in the electoral process, and it’s high time they were held accountable. Let’s hope this is only the beginning for accountability, not the end.”
The monies was funneled through the Law firm if Perkins Coie. Yes that one. Former Attorney General Eric Holder was a member of the firm at the time.

Law Firm behind junk Russian Dossier behind fake hit on Jim Jordan
July 5, 2018 — bunkerville
Last fall Glenn Simpson revealed in Congressional testimony that the Clinton campaign and Democrat Party were the financial backers behind Fusion GPS’s Trump dossier project.
The House Intelligence Committee released a 165-page transcript of testimony given on Nov. 14 by Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson.
Snip….
Fusion in turn hired Steele, an ex-MI6 officer who operates a private intelligence firm in London.
Barack Obama also hired Fusion GPS to investigate Mitt Romney and also hid the payments through Perkins Coie.
Washington Examinier:
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.
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 memo said that the Clinton campaign and DNC argued that they were correct in describing their payment as for “legal advice and services” because it was Perkins Coie that hired Fusion GPS. But the agency said the law is clear and was violated.
It added that neither the campaign nor the party conceded to lying but won’t contest the finding. “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, said the FEC.
The FEC, in a memo to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which filed its complaint over three years ago, said it fined Clinton’s treasurer $8,000 and the DNC’s treasurer $105,000.
The memo, shared with Secrets, is to be made public in a month.

It should be a banner headliner. I agree with Bill, it won’t put even a pause in her stride and others like her. But this is significant to have on the record. Think at least of the inevitable conversation:
“Oh, Russia collusion, yes. You mean the hoax that the FEC fined Hillary Clinton for making up?” ….
“Yes, what’s shocking is that Trump was right after all. …. You mean you didn’t hear about the FEC fining Hillary for making it up?”
Now, JAIL would be better. But this is not nothing. It’ll put the spinmeisters to work. And give us a never-to-be-forgotten-or-ignored narrative.

Big deal. It cost Clinton zero. The money came from campaign donors. It will be forgotten in 24 hours.
Nothing will come of this. At most it will change a few votes, but it will in no way affect what we amusingly refer to as “the elections.”

It is about time! I hope they do more than just fine that thieving and lying witch! She needs to be hauled off to jail and taken to trial, but then of course they would never send her to Danbury. She would end up in some high-class jail for the rich. I cannot imagine how Clinton’s daughter must feel between her mother’s lies and her father’s infidelities–especially the Epstein scandal. I often feel sorry for Chelsea. Some people never think of their children.
