DNC and Hillary campaign fined thousands for 'Steele dossier' stunt
WND ^ | March 2022 | Bob Unruh

Agreements with FEC call for payments of $105,000, $8,000

We now know that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign for president in 2016 misled the federal government about funding that infamous and thoroughly debunked "Steele dossier" that made wild and unsubstantiated allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump. It's because they've agreed to pay fines of $105,000, and $8,000, respectively, for those actions that broke federal law.

It seems nobody else remembers.

Recall how the FEC trampled Dnesh D’Sousa for his alleged $20K donations they deemed improper. Under threat to do worse to him, he plead guilty and suffered a $30K fine, 5 years probation, and months of community service.

Here there are no limits on the DNC nor on Clinton, and the FEC threatened nobody this time. Kid gloves it seems. Or wet noodles perhaps.

The double standards are rife.

Does any foresee justice forthcoming within our system anytime soon?

Please convince me.

Fascinating how huge a cover-up of this ruling is occurring in the media that defaced itself so strongly by supporting this narrative for so many years.
I’m shocked! Shocked!

Fined “for those actions that broke federal law”.

Don’t worry guys, the FBI and DOJ will spring into action to prosecute the Clinton Campaign officials and the DNC. Any minute now....

They owe the Government more for the Trump impeachment fiasco. All those Mueller legal costs that were the result of their scheme.

So, the price of corruption is about 10% surcharge on the payments made to the lawyers. They paid $1,000.000.00 for the dossier, and paid $113,000.00 for the fine. Pocket change and irrelevant since it cost $45,000.000.00 for Mueller’s fake investigation. The sweeper could pay that fine and still have cab fare home.

The FEC is comped like everything else.

It’s not much, but it’s definitely going to have an impact on Trump’s lawsuits.

A brand new pickup with the fixins’ costs just a tad less than this fine.

Buy a dossier, buy a truck for penance. Her campaign budget for food was more than that.

These crooks are millionaires.

Fines? They need to be thrown in prison for 20 years.

No I don’t. They’d have to convince me too.
