The Federal Elections Commission voted Thursday to close a probe of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, saying it had not found any proof of any violations.

On a 4-1 vote, the panel ended the investigation into hush money paid by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The panel said it had failed to find that Mr. Trump or his campaign “knowingly and willfully” violated campaign-finance law when Mr. Cohen paid $130,000 in October 2016 to the adult actress whose real name is Stephanie Clifford and who says she had had an affair with the real-estate tycoon earlier that decade.

Comforting to know this vindication will receive the same amount of attention and be as widespread as the original accusations were.

The kangaroos can go home now.

The truth finally putting it’s boots on is all. The lie made it all the way around the world in a day.

The LAAP* dogs in the media will say they were vindicated because the story added to the aura of President Trump as the center of a permanent chaos, and that voters were just tired of all the drama that surrounded him, whether it was true or not.

Mission Accomplished.

There's another attorney involved who worked with Cohen. His name keeps getting shoved under the rug. I believe he and Cohen wrote up the non disclosure agreement. I'll have to do a little googling. I think his name is important.

Bimbos love giving it a try for some blackmail bucks...All they have to do is lie. She's never proved a damn thing.

Interesting that the FEC couldn’t comment on the Natural Born Citizen status of Sen. Harris, who was NOT born of ‘... American citizen parents’ like John McCain was.
