Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele to compile negative and false secondhand accounts designed to tie Trump to the Kremlin that were subsequently fed to corporate media reporters and government officials.<\/p>\n<p>This coordinated effort by Clinton allies, some of whom have been indicted for <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/18\/spygate-101-a-primer-on-the-russia-collusion-hoaxs-years-long-plot-to-take-down-trump\/\">lying to the FBI<\/a>, to lie about their political enemies sparked the Obama administration\u2019s efforts to spy on Trump and his campaign under knowingly false pretenses. <\/p>\n<p>For lying about the purpose of campaign funds, the FEC ordered Clinton\u2019s campaign to pay $8,000 to the commission in the next 30 days. The Democratic National Committee was also fined $105,000 for the same violation. <\/p>\n<p>The news comes one week after former President Donald Trump announced he <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.flsd.610157\/gov.uscourts.flsd.610157.1.0.pdf\">is suing<\/a>\u00a0Clinton and a myriad of other Democrat operatives for peddling false information that he was colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActing in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty. The actions taken in furtherance of their scheme \u2014 falsifying evidence, deceiving law enforcement, and exploiting access to highly-sensitive data sources \u2014 are so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the events of Watergate pale in comparison,\u201d the complaint states.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
