Let me get this straight: take a million or so in illegal money, pay $243k back in fines.

The fine was $115,000. Another $128,000 in illegal contributions had to be forked over, making the total paid now the $243,000 reported. The rest of the illegal money had already been "disgorged" as they say, meaning repaid to the donor or to the US Treasury. So the fine may be ridiculously low in any event, but it is in addition to repaying the money.

Admittedly, this article doesn't make that clear, but that's the way it is.

Hey stop trying to educate the Bushwhackers. They believe the FEC is under administration control too. Every excuse to whack W is used even when they don't know what the hell they are talking about. Not even the acknowledged RATs whack him more.
