When charged with a crime that has a penalty of a cash payment, the quickest way to get that charge and the crime off of the front pages of the media is to quietly pay the fine. If you’re a Republican, that might not work, but if you are Democrat, it will definitely kill the story.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported the following statement by Kash Patel, regarding the violations by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016:<\/p>\n \u201cSo the Hillary Clinton campaign is not contesting it, they\u2019re paying the fine. It\u2019s basically admitting that they did this and they\u2019re out is: \u2018we just don\u2019t want a protracted legal deal, as if the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC ever shied away from taking something or someone to court,\u201d Patel added.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Hillary) Clinton\u2019s campaign and the DNC agreed to pay a combined $113,000 to the FEC, according to documents made public on March 30, after the commission found probable cause that the entities violated federal law by describing payments that ultimately went to the Fusion GPS research group as going toward legal services and consulting.<\/strong><\/p>\n “It shows them how wrong they were to violate the law and spend political campaign dollars on hit job, opposition research pieces for then-candidate Trump, all of which, [to] remind the audience, was then used intentionally by the FBI\u2014even though they knew it was false\u2014to go to a federal secret court and surveil a presidential candidate and later a president of the United States.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n In October 2020, Durham (Special counsel John Durham) was appointed by the Dept. of Justice as special counsel to investigate the FBI\u2019s handling of Russiagate. His recent filings revealed<\/a>\u00a0that internet traffic at Trump Tower and the White House was accessed to fabricate ties between Trump and Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n The filing, which was submitted late on Feb. 11 in connection with the indictment of Michael Sussmann, a former attorney to Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 campaign, reveals that Rodney Joffe, a tech executive who was working with Sussmann, had exploited access to domain name system (DNS) internet traffic pertaining to the Executive Office of the President of the United States (EOP) as well as Trump Tower and\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s Central Park West apartment building.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis FEC fine is another step towards accountability. But [for] me as a former federal prosecutor, maybe I\u2019m biased, but the ultimate step of accountability which the American public is waiting for,comes in the form of indictments, especially to those people who violated their oath of office,\u201d Patel said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Indictments would be nice, but unfortunately it is becoming very obvious to most Americans that only Republicans get indicted when they break the law.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When charged with a crime that has a penalty of a cash payment, the quickest way to get that charge and the crime off of the front pages of the media is to quietly pay the fine.
