DNC and Hillary campaign fined thousands for 'Steele dossier' stunt
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.
Paul Bedard in his Washington Secrets column explains he obtained exclusive access to the details of agreements between the DNC, and Clinton campaign, and the Federal Election Commission.
He posted online images of the agreements in which the FEC informed the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which filed its complaint more than three years ago, it was fining Clinton's campaign treasurer $8,000 and the DNC's treasurer $105,000.
"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," he reported.
The dossier was just part of the orchestrated campaign to damage Trump during the 2016 election. Evidence has now shown that Clinton proposed creating the illusion that Trump's campaign was somehow tied to Russia in order to divert the public's attention from her own email scandal percolating at the time. In fact, Barack Obama apparently was even briefed on that strategy.
Eventually, the series of wild allegations prompted Democrats to push for a special counsel, and Robert Mueller spent years "investigating" the claims, only to come up without evidence the Democrats demanded.
Bedard's report explains, "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.

So,they are going to force Bubbette! to reach into her petty cash drawer at some time in the distant future,to pay a piddly fine?
And THAT is assuming she won't stall until another Dim takes the WH and pardons her.
We all know neither she nor Bubba can be forced to do a single damn thing they don't want to do. The DNC will encircle her like the Indians encircled Custer,but this time it will be to protect and guard,not defeat.
After all,paying fines is for the little people.
