If this effective admission on funding the dirtiest dirty trick in presidential politics is news to you, don’t blame yourself. Photo by TOLGA AKMEN/AFP via Getty Images Press looks the other way The Federal Election Commission fined Clinton and the DNC for funding the infamous Christopher Steele dossier. Although her lawyers and the DNC argued they did nothing wrong, they agreed not to contest the findings and quietly paid fines totaling $113,000. The layers and false claim about legal fees were intended to put distance between Clinton and Steele because knowledge of the truth would have destroyed her campaign. In fact, the money was funneled through a law firm, Perkins Coie, which then hired the smear merchants at FusionGPS, who hired Steele, a former British spook. The FEC agreed with the complaint and ruled that Clinton and the DNC, which she effectively controlled, hid their payments to Steele as merely “legal fees,” without mentioning him or his work. It ruled on a complaint from the Coolidge Reagan Foundation that Clinton and the Democratic National Committee violated federal law by hiding how they funded the odious Christopher Steele dossier, perhaps the most destructive disinformation document in United States history. The first evidence came in a little-noticed decision from the Federal Election Commission. Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of her, proof emerges that she was even more duplicitous than we knew. With both developments centering on Hillary Clinton, they underscore her role and the depths of her venality. Two recent developments illustrate how that campaign remains a radioactive hot spot. Our move toward disunion didn’t begin then, but it certainly gained steam and vitriol during and after the election of Donald Trump. The reasons will be better understood in hindsight, but it’s hard to believe the 2016 presidential campaign won’t be seen as an inflection point.
Even our nation’s Founders are not spared. Instead of building on our unprecedented prosperity and role as the world’s ultimate superpower, we declared war - cultural, political and social - on each other. However this era of angry polarization, crime and violence ends, it will be left to historians to decipher how America got so far off track.
