FEC fines Hilary Clinton campaign, DNC for improperly disclosing money spent on Trump-Russia dossier

The Federal Election Commission earlier this month fined Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee for failing to properly report funding on opposition research into the 2017 Steele dossier, which examined former President Donald Trump’s alleged links to Russia.

The infamous dossier in question was prepared by former UK intelligence officer Christopher Steele and included a trove of prurient but unverified claims regarding the alleged relationship between Trump and members of the Russian intelligence community, as well as assertions that his campaign colluded with the Kremlin in the 2016 election.

While a few allegations were corroborated (which Insider’s Sonam Sheth broke down), much of the information within the document has since been refuted. Steele has said that he was still investigating and his research was not meant for public viewing, but his memos were leaked just weeks before Trump took office in January 2017.

Liz Cheney may be out of power as the House Republican Conference chair. But her replacement, New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, is a swampy shape-shifter whose campaign coffers are filled with open borders, radical social liberal, Wall Street cash.
