If you already heard about this, please forgive the duplication. My post has sauce and source documents, along with the news article link and excerpts...
3/29/22: The Federal Election Commission fined Killary's (2016) campaign and the Democrat National Committee for falsifying "legal fee" payments to law firm Perkins Coie, which already has 2 attorneys (Michael Sussman and Mark Alias) under federal criminal indictment by Special Prosecutor John Durham.
Those claimed "legal fee" payments were actually used for "opposition research" against Donald Trump to create Christopher Steel's fake dossier and kick off the whole "Russia collusion" bullshit.
The fines the FEC charged for the Christopher Steele 'dossier' (the launching point of a multi-year "Russia collusion" witch hunt and Trump's 1st impeachment) are insanely low, but a win is a win nonetheless. Plus, this adds another 'proof point' of evidence that Killary and the DNC are guilty of framing President Trump and crafting the whole witch hunt from the beginning.
Here's an article about it: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fec-fines-dnc-clinton-for-trump-dossier-hoax
EXCERPTS:
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.
The FEC, in a memo to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation (see: https://www.coolidgereagan.org/), which filed its complaint over three years ago, said it fined Clinton’s treasurer $8,000 and the DNC’s treasurer $105,000.

Will this open the door for a lawsuit against HRC and DNC to recoup the 40 plus million dollars wasted on the Mueller investigation? Now that would send these sleeze-bags a message that $113,000 (chump change) will not.
No doubt. Those fines are like sofa cushion money to these people. I was appalled by the size of the fines, but it still serves as another proof point that they're guilty as hell of cooking up the whole Russia-Russia-Russia crap.
I would suggest reading Donna Brasil (?) the chairperson of DNC at the time.....
About how the DNC did a deal with HRC because the DNC was bankrupt..... in return for funding from HRC the DNC gave HRC complete control of the DNC and any Democrat candidate like Bernie was to be set aside for HRC....
As for the FEC.... they fined Obama campaign for fraud regarding donations to his presidential campaign ...... that was ultimately in the millions..... you can do what you want, as far as the FEC is concerned, just remember to make the payoffs... or fines as they prefer to call them....!

Yeah, everything is 'pay to play' in their clown world. I was already aware of Killary funding the DNC so she could control it. Years ago, I saw some contracts saying just that, but don't know if they were legit or not. Regardless, it makes total sense.
