Court Just Nailed Hillary for FEC Violation 45x Bigger Than Trump’s $130k So-Called Violation
WESTERN JOURNAL ^ | 7/12/2024 | By Randy DeSoto,

Posted on 07/12/2024 7:38:48 PM PDT by bitt

he Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign and an affiliated super PAC violated federal election law in spending that totaled close to $6 million.

The amount in question is more than 45 times the $130,000 a Manhattan court convicted former President Donald Trump of misreporting in business records during the same 2016 campaign.

It should be noted that the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department looked at the payments Trump made through his personal attorney at the time, Michael Cohen, to adult film star Stormy Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement and declined to prosecute him.

But Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg chose to bring the case under New York law, bootstrapping the alleged FEC violation as an underlying crime to the state business record violations.

The reimbursement payments made to Cohen were listed by the Trump organization as legal expenses. Bragg argued these payments made to Daniels initially by Cohen amounted to an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign.

Regarding the Clinton campaign case, the D.C. Circuit found the super PAC Correct the Record “set out to engage in a wide range of coordinated activities to support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.”

“In an administrative complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission, nonprofit watchdog Campaign Legal Center alleges that Correct the Record spent close to $6 million in coordination with the Clinton campaign during the lead-up to the 2016 election, including to conduct polls, hire teams of round-the-clock factcheckers, and connect Clinton media surrogates with radio and television news outlets,” the Court said.

Once again, we’ve been given a reminder what a crook Hitlery is and how we were fortunate enough for her election loss in 2016.

The Clintons and the Bidens are all thoroughly corrupt. There are plenty of others in high places that are also corrupt.

Simple explanation. No need to go after Hillary. She was never a threat to be a dictator, like Trump will be. Trump needs to be put in prison to save the world. Anything to get Trump is completely honorable and good. I learned that by watching MSM. That is where to go for truth.

It should be noted that the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department

It should also be noted that Mrs. Bill Clinton is a far-left female Democrat, so don't hold your breath for any prosecution because she has double (at least) immunity.

Even if they wanted to charge Hillary with this in DC, they couldn’t make it a felony. Come to think of it, Bragg couldn’t do that to Trump in NY either, but he did anyway.

It’s not going to be Hillary. I still believe it will be Biden. He has the military leadership and deep state on his side and that’s all he needs.

Obama set this in motion, to take Hillary out of the equation. He’s running Big Mike.
