Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC broke the law by hiding payments to unearth dirt on Donald Trump, according to a complaint filed Wednesday with the FEC. Mark Elias, Clinton campaign layer, reportedly paid the DC-based research firm Fusion GPS — and failed to disclose the payments, the complaint says.
Campaign Legal Center, the nonprofit that filed the documents with the FEC, claims this is a direct violation of campaign finance law, which requires campaign and party committees to report all their spending. “The DNC and 'Hillary for America' reported payments totaling millions of dollars to the law firm Perkins Coie described as ‘Legal Services’ or ‘Legal and Compliance Consulting,” when some of the payments were earmarked for conducting opposition research on Donald Trump. By failing to file accurate reports, the DNC and 'Hillary for America' undermined the vital role that accurate campaign reporting serves.”
FEC records show Clinton's campaign and the DNC reported 382 payments to Perkins Coie. While it’s legal to pay a company to do opposition research, it’s unlawful to hide the true purpose.
Adav Noti, senior director of trial litigation and strategy at CLC and former FEC official, explained in a statement: “Voters need campaign disclosure laws to be enforced so they can hold candidates accountable for how they raise and spend money. The FEC must investigate this apparent violation and take appropriate action.”

I just hope that there’s a “window” there so decent people who have been harmed in life by her can watch!
“Some Dem bimbo on Fox was saying those exact words yesterday”
Probably that bitch Jessica Tarlov, who when she speaks looks like she’s chewing her cud!
“I had a moron on FB say “this is just opposition research- everyone does it”
I have seen that to. However opposition research is not making up fake dossiers on your opponent.
lock her up ping
like your thinking on this Awan inclusion - maybe George Webb should be the special prosecutor? I’m sure with his intellect he could cram a law degree within 4 months..
If they convicted D’sousa and sent him to prison for violating campaign finance laws, these folks should get the same treatment, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
I agree. Checks are being written as these illegal activities are being uncovered.
He is either the most incompetent, lazy do nothing of all time, or...
He is very quietly doing his job, crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s because he knows that he’s prosecuting the biggest crimes of the history of the USA. He realizes that if he does it right, the nation wins, but if he does it wrong...it will bring down the administration, himself all the while handing the nation BACK TO THE SWAMP.
Dear Lord, please let it be the latter!
D’Sousa is a conservative. Period.
Easier said than done !!!
How do you unlock her Teflon security, hmmm ???
Crooks always make a mistake....somewhere.
