After the 2016 election, the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign paid a six-figure settlement after a Federal Election Commission investigation involving the Steele dossier:
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
That’s according to documents sent Tuesday to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending.
The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.
But the fact that "Trump/Russia collusion" was a lie isn't going to stop the Democrats from ramping up the same claims this year, and this might be a source for their fresh angle:

Right on cue, one of the biggest pushers of the 2016 "Russia collusion" BS, lying weasel Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, is back at it:
From bad to worse. House Republicans’ key witness further discredited by ties to Russian intelligence.

What could be behind the Kremlin’s continuing affinity for pro-Trump causes?
Could it be Trump’s continuing affinity for the Kremlin dictator? https://t.co/FQ4zDVNE8I
There's shameless and then there's whatever Adam Schiff is.
Christopher Steele was a legit Russian asset spreading lies about Trump in a fake “dossier” to highest echelons of DOJ and news media WHILE working as an FBI informant and the Dem Party

Sorry, this ain’t working now. https://t.co/Uceatw18FO
Hey Schiffty, we're still waiting for the evidence from the last time you made this claim.
Where the hell is that proof on Russia Collusion you promised us years ago? https://t.co/uQk5PFX8OT

And of course, Schiff's not the only one who'll be pushing "Russia Collusion v2.0" this year leading up to the election:

Who is the most shameless liar in Congress? It's a tie for first place among about 20 members of Congress.
Then of course there's this CCP dupe and serial toolbag who got kicked off the Intelligence Committee:
James Comer must resign from Congress. For the last two years he has done the work of Russia’s intelligence services to falsely attack President Biden. There must be accountability. https://t.co/4xev6m5ssL

Yeah, it's going to be a long year full of this kind of thing, and much of the media will just go along with it once again.
