FEC “Its clear the Law was broken” Fines Clinton 8,000 bucks

Proverbs 12:19:  “The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Scoop: FEC fines DNC and Clinton for Trump dossier hoax
  • 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.
  • The memo 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.
  • Dan Backer, who brought the complaint on behalf of the foundation, which focuses on free speech and the First Amendment, told Secrets, “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.
  • Backer, with Washington’s Chalmers & Adams law firm, held out hope for further action against the former first lady.
