FEC Fines DNC and Clinton Camp Over Bogus Trump Dossier

[Eupher]

Bottom line up front:

The Federal Elections Commission is fining the DNC $105,000 and the Clinton Campaign $8,000 for their lies and smear campaign against Trump.

A slap on the wrist.

No harm in sniping at them.

Might cause a reaction.

Foxes guarding the henhouse.
Must have been really egregious for them to fine them at all.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency created by Congress in 1975 to administer and enforce the Federal Elections Campaign Act. The FEC is responsible for disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing limits and prohibitions on contributions, and overseeing the public funding of presidential elections.[1]
The commission is led by six members. The six members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
