DNC Fined for Fake Pee Tape
[PJMedia] The Federal Election Commission (FEC) says that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign violated election laws by lying about funding the infamous Steele dossier, which was used to smear Donald Trump and justify the Obama administration seeking a FISA warrant to spy on his campaign.
Crooked Hillary's campaign was also fined.
The DNC and the Clinton campaign claimed expenses paid to the left-wing law firm Perkins Coie were legal services when in fact, they went to funding the long-discredited dossier. The FEC says that what the DNC and Clinton campaign did violated the law.
What other penalties will be made? Bueller?
According to the FEC, neither the DNC nor the Clinton campaign admitted to lying but won’t contest the finding either in order to settle the matter, the Washington Examiner reports.
Wasn't us but we will pay the fines anyway.
“Old news”
"Solely for the purpose of settling this matter expeditiously and to avoid further legal costs, respondent[s] does not concede, but will not further contest the commission’s finding of probable cause to believe," the FEC memo states.
We don't want any more bad stuff we did to be discovered.
Don’t get too excited; while the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie over a million dollars that went towards the funding of the bogus dossier, they’re only being fined $105,000 and $8,000, respectively. A mere slap on the wrist.

#6 This is the first step. Now they have proof, in court, that Clinton and the DNC conspired to slander Trump. They now have the money trail. Now they can show she did it to change the government of this nation. These are the steps to a RICO conviction. The DNC and DC elites may want the Clintons out of DC, But they are now an organization of co conspirators. This will get interesting.

#7 The FEC just validated Trump's legal suits against the cabal. That shortens discovery. It's a wrist slap from the FEC but the real payout is yet to be seen.

Good question! I can only imagine that this is an attempt to get out ahead of something bigger that has not surfaced yet.

#14 Fines are a slap-on-the-wrist so they can close the case and move on rather than dig any deeper lest they are forced to deal with the treason involved.
