Progressive California Rep. Maxine Waters' campaign has agreed to pay a $68,000 fine after an investigation found it violated multiple election rules.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) said the longtime House lawmaker's 2020 campaign committee, Citizens for Waters, ran afoul of several campaign finance laws in a tranche of documents released Friday.
The FEC accused Citizens for Waters of "failing to accurately report receipts and disbursements in calendar year 2020," "knowingly accepting excessive contributions" and "making prohibited cash disbursements," according to one document that appears to be a legally binding agreement that allows both parties to avoid going to court.

68K is a great price to pay for braking the law to win an election. That is a great bang for the buck.

For Maxine to simply accept her fine without going nuts, tells me, this particular money crime is but the very top of a monstrously huge iceberg. Her pal Charlie Rangel went to the grave without having to pay for all the misappropriation of public funds throughout his crooked career.

"knowingly accepting excessive contributions"How much?? $68,000?
Nah, I'd wager $680,000. Or maybe $6.8 million.

$68,000 for these demoncraps is a rounding number.

I always say...
The Democrats pay the fines AFTER the money was used to win the elections. It's a small price to pay to keep the ill-gotten seat.
They're never forced to give up the seat itself.

” why no prison time”
I’m guessing that they couldn’t tie anything to her directly & blamed it on her campaign committee & $68,000 isn’t worth a long trial
