Were you also expecting Obama to resign or get impeached when his campaign was
found in violation of campaign finance laws, or are you just a shoe-wearing crumbcake
faggot living in the delusional big rock candy mountain land of
MSM faggotry?
I love how you sycophantically parrot points from Fox News et al (aka Trump's state propaganda machine) and Trump's inaccurate tweets and then accuse everyone else of being an "MSM faggot".
Obama had to pay a fine because they did not meet reporting deadlines for some large donations received at the very end of the campaign. This is fairly typical, and it should be noted that everything WAS disclosed, it just missed a deadline. A fine was paid and all was good. Same thing happened to Bob Dole in 1996 and also appears
that Trump had something like this too on 1.3 MM in campaign donations. No one ever goes to jail or gets in serious trouble for this sort of common red tape misstep, it is a civil infraction solved via application of fines.
What was alleged by Cohen here is that he knowingly and willfully made illegal contributions at Trump’s direction and with the intention of hiding the purpose of the payments, which Cohen says were to influence the outcome of the election, which would make his offense
criminal. None of these payments were ever disclosed voluntarily by the Trump administration or campaign. And as a cherry on top, he clearly lied about it to the American people several times. I think the better parallel here is John Edwards, who was charged and went to trial.
