Perkins Coie laundered the Millions to GPS and didn’t report them as campaign expenditures. They probably broke several laws. Now if we actually had a Justice department and an FBI they would be getting search warants.

Special prosecutor. Get people to start flipping.

FBI is so corrupt now. The IT guy for Hillary was granted immunity. Why? To shut him up. Rather than to testify, he was given immunity as along as he stayed quiet. That’s how corrupt our government has become.

If you can take millions of dollars and sell out our uranium to the Russians, is there any accountability at all for our politicians?

As I understand it, it is the Clinton campaign that didn't report them as campaign expenditures, at least not as what they actually reported them as, which were simply ‘legal services'. The law firm is not reported as being culpable in any way. Nor are they required to report to the FEC. That only applies to the campaign itself.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee violated campaign finance law by failing to disclose payments for a dossier on Donald Trump, according to a complaint filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission.

The complaint from the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center said the Democrats effectively hid the payments from public scrutiny, contrary to the requirements of federal law. By law, campaign and party committees must disclose the reason money is spent and its recipient.

“By filing misleading reports, the DNC and Clinton campaign undermined the vital public information role of campaign disclosures,” said Adav Noti, senior director of trial litigation and strategy at CLC and a former FEC official. “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.”

Media reports on Tuesday alleged that a lawyer for the Clinton campaign hired Fusion GPS to investigate Mr. Trump in April 2016. The private research firm reportedly hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy with ties to the FBI, to conduct the opposition research, and he compiled a dossier containing allegations about Mr. Trump’s connections to Russia.

The Clinton campaign and the DNC funded the effort until the end of October 2016, just days before the election.

“Questions about who paid for this dossier are the subject of intense public interest, and this is precisely the information that FEC reports are supposed to provide,” said Brendan Fischer, director of federal and FEC reform at CLC. “Payments by a campaign or party committee to an opposition research firm are legal, as long as those payments are accurately disclosed. But describing payments for opposition research as ‘legal services’ is entirely misleading and subverts the reporting requirements.”
