FEC fines Clinton campaign, DNC for spending on ‘Steele Dossier’ to damage Trump in 2016

[Demon]

Yeah. It's probably Russian propaganda started by Trump, just like that Hunter Biden laptop garbage that everyone knows isn't true or the Clinton conspiracy to hang campaign coordination with Russia around Trump's neck. Mueller proved that one was true!

Yeah, untrue things never get put out there.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

 

[RetiredUSN]

When will Trump show us his tax returns ?

Show us your tax returns?

Let every idiotic liberal on this forum show theirs and hold themselves to the standards that they cry about every day.

Chances are....... that most of the whiney ass liberal here on DP sit home hoping for another Biden gimme check to buy their latest video game.

 

[RetiredUSN]

Please enlighten us, show us one thing in the dossier that has been discredited…

Liberals love Russians when it suits their hypocrisy.

The FEC issues fines. Typically when they do so it results in an article or two being written. Google will help you see that. Given that these fines are penalties imposed for not following election rules, that most likely means a politician is involved. In case you haven’t noticed, you are on a political debate website. Do we have your permission to discuss this news involving a politician and political party?

There is nothing to debate, it is trolling garbage. And in case you didn't notice, you didn't even make a point at all, just a bunch of bullshit pretending you had a point nor does your stupid post have anything to do with the nonsense "but Hillary" garbage .

There is no discussing with conservatives, they don't have facts, just lies, spin, projection, deflection.

Just because one of your team just got spanked doesn’t make it trolling.

Can these obviously, steaming pile of shit threads just be considered by staff for what it is, trolling flamebait garbage. Th e same debunked shit being crapped all over the forum by the same lot of pathetic trolls

Talk about trolls ^^^^^

Washington Times is questionable ..........

So is CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC, NYTimes, Washington Post, etc.. They are in the tank for the Democrats, which is why their reporting has been shit for years.

The liberal outlets haven't picked this up just yet. Washington Times has a story though. I'm sure more details will come out if/when the liberal media outlets decide to publish this story.

FEC fines Clinton campaign, DNC for spending on Steele dossier to damage Trump in 2016

The Federal Election Commission has fined Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee for failing to disclose campaign spending that ended up in the pocket of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored a Russian-based dossier to damage Donald...

We all know the history of the Clinton campaign and DNC where they funneled money through intermediary law firms to fund foreign spies. This was done to create a false dossier and push a Russian collusion narrative prior to the election. The problem with this, beyond the foreign collusion in our election, is that they lied on their FEC filings to hide the fact that they were behind the false dossier used to smear their opponent. FEC found the money trail and has now fined the two entities for misreporting how they actually spent their money.

Ohh.. they make her pay $8,000! Chump change to her. I hope you feel vindicated

An $8,000 fine? A symbolic slap on the wrist.

next.

Conservative hate these days comes from racism and hatred. They're teeming with it. It's burning them alive. We don't need a civil war - today's traitorous conservatives will just burn themselves out.

Yep, but don’t forget the $105K penalty. That’s a tad more than a traffic ticket.

 

[lurchadams]

To the DNC, not to her. You should pay attention, my friend! This is nothing, meanwhile, your guy trump and his crime family are using burner phones to evade the law.

Anyway, have fun with your Hillary bashing. I hope it's cathartic for you and all trump deciples.

OK, but fining the team counts as much as fining the player.

Please enlighten us, show us one thing in the dossier that has been discredited…

The “Steele dossier” was “Internet rumor,” and corroboration for the pee tape story was “zero.” At the time the FBI submitted its first FISA application, Horowitz writes, it had “corroborated limited information in Steele’s election reporting, and most of that was publicly available information.” Horowitz says of Steele’s reports: “The CIA viewed it as ‘internet rumor.’” (and you aren't going to question the vaunted "intelligence officials" in the CIA are you, now?) https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...t-steele-dossier-collusion-news-media-924944/

Worse (and this part of the story should be tattooed on the heads of Russia truthers), the FBI’s interviews of Steele’s sources revealed Steele embellished the most explosive parts of his report. The “pee tape” story, which inspired countless grave headlines (see this chin-scratching New York Times history of Russian “sexual blackmail”) and plunged the Trump presidency into crisis before it began, was, this source said, based a “conversation that [he/she] had over beers,” with the sexual allegations made… in “jest”!

'Corroboration Zero': An Inspector General's Report Reveals the Steele Dossier Was Always a Joke

The reports throws water on one “deep state” conspiracy theory of the Russia investigation, but validates complaints about “fake news”

Please enlighten us, show us one thing in the dossier that has been discredited…

“US investigators corroborate some aspects of the Russia dossier,” CNN, February 10, 2017. Jim Sciutto and Evan Perez of CNN reported that “multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials” have “corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent,” i.e. the “Steele Dossier.”

The corroboration, which CNN said was “based on intercepted communications,” gave “US intelligence and law enforcement ‘greater confidence’ in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.”

This was a significant and apparently deliberate piece of misinformation. We know, from the report of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, that the CIA months before had already dismissed the Steele reports as “Internet rumor,” while the FBI had already done several rounds of attempts to corroborate its independent reporting, coming up with negative results each time.

As Horowitz wrote, the FBI had actively withheld key information from the FISA court before this CNN report, saying it omitted to tell the FISA judge that “Steele's Primary Subsource, who the FBI found credible, had made statements in January 2017 raising significant questions about the reliability of allegations included in the FISA applications, including, for example, that… there was ‘nothing bad’ about the communications between the Kremlin and the Trump team, and that he/she did not report to Steele in July 2016 that Page had met with [Igor] Sechin.”

Moreover, the FBI in previous efforts “had corroborated limited information in the Steele election reporting, and much of that was publicly available information.” Far from having “greater confidence” in Steele, the FBI and the CIA had both privately determined that the report at minimum was seriously flawed. Although CNN added the caveat “none of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier,” most of these reports stressed the idea that the report had been at least partially “confirmed,” when in fact little to none of the original reporting in the Steele reports was ever proven. https://taibbi.substack.com/p/aaugh-a-brief-list-of-official-russia?s=r

The Washington Times hates Clinton because she's white? Great argument.

 

[GummyVitamins]

Okay show us some discredited claims from the dossier.
Muou claim it’s false, back it up…

Why don't you start by proving the allegations in the campaign propaganda? Doesn't that make more sense? Your claim is that the content of the dossier is valid. So prove to me that there's a Trump pee tape in Russia. My claim is that there's no evidence of said video. Have fun!

 

[Peter]

When will Trump show us his tax returns ?

It's going to be so much fun when he is forced to disclose them and his supporters are forced to defend the fact that he's paid pretty much **** all tax.
They'll bend over backwards explaining why it's great that his underpaid employees paid way more than he did.

 

[GummyVitamins]

When will Trump show us his tax returns ?

When will Obama show us his original birth certificate? It's fun asking stupid unrelated questions in threads. Thanks for the idea!

It's actually a manuscript and not a dossier.

Get out of that one.
