Back in March, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee for not properly disclosing the money they used to fund opposition research that led to a controversial dossier on President Trump’s links to Russia.
The FEC fined Clinton and said her campaign violated the rules because they failed to disclose payments funneled to Fusion GPS through DNC law firm Perkins Coie. The letter was sent out from the FEC to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation which filed the charges back in 2018.
Hillary Clinton and her campaign were the sources of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that plagued the first three years of his highly successful administration.
In its letter, the F.E.C. said the D.N.C. and Hillary for America had violated campaign finance provisions.
Some $1 million was paid by the Clinton campaign and the D.N.C. to a law firm, Perkins Coie, which in turn used Fusion GPS for opposition research on Trump. It hired Steele to use his expertise to investigate the Republican candidate’s links to Russia.
More details from The Washington Examiner report:
The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory.
The election agency said that Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules on describing expenditures of payments funneled to the opposition research firm Fusion GPS through their law firm.
A combined $1,024,407.97 was paid by the treasurers of the DNC and Clinton campaign to law firm Perkins Coie for Fusion GPS’s information, and the party and campaign hid the reason, claiming it was for legal services, not opposition research.
Instead, the DNC’s $849,407.97 and the Clinton campaign’s $175,000 covered Fusion GPS’s opposition research on the dossier, a basis for the so-called “Russia hoax” that dogged Trump’s first term.
On Thursday, President Trump filed a federal RICO suit in Miami, Florida, against Hillary Clinton and others over the Russia collusion hoax orchestrated by the Clinton campaign in 2016 to undermine Trump’s candidacy and derail his presidency.
Trump asks for treble damages of expenses and losses of more than $24 million.
On Thursday, Hillary Clinton asked the court to dismiss President Trump’s lawsuit against her and her campaign.
Here’s an excerpt from The Epoch Times report:
Former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on April 20 argued that a lawsuit filed against her and some 30 others by her former rival, ex-President Donald Trump, should be dismissed.
Trump filed the suit in federal court in Florida in March, taking aim at how Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Trump-Russia dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele.
The parties “maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” the suit stated, claiming Clinton and others violated federal statutes, including one against racketeering, while attempting to rig the 2016 election in favor of Clinton.
As further evidence of the scheme, Trump’s lawyers pointed to the effort by technology executive Rodney Joffe to exploit data from the Trump Tower, and after Trump took office, the White House to allegedly try to establish a link between Trump and Russia. Joffe has said he carried out the scheme to please “VIPs” he identified as people in the Clinton campaign and a law firm it hired, Perkins Coie, while Steele has alleged that Clinton herself was aware of what his firm was hired to do.
In the motion to dismiss, Clinton lawyer David Kendall said the alleged crimes cannot be adjudicated because too much time has passed since they were said to have been committed.
For several years now, Hillary and the Deep State ran a coup on President Trump.
And now they insist there should be no repercussions for their malicious actions.
We need to lock her up! It’s long overdue…
