But they’ve got Trump now.

President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
But they’ve got Trump now.

Was he impeached? Did he resign? From what I've learned from Libs/media is that its full on Impeachment and He will be walked right to prison.

Well, you see, it was acktually different when Obama was fined.
His violations were a simple accounting error, happens all the time.
Drumpf was intentionally trying to influence an election. He deserves nothing short of a billion dollar fine and 50 years in prison.

Daily Reminder:
Hillary Clinton's campaign colluded with the DNC to set the primaries for her candidacy.
Hillary Clinton's campaign colluded with the media to rig the debates.
Those two things are actual election tampering.
Hillary Clinton's campaign was funded by Russians and Saudi Arabians
Hillary Clinton's charitable foundation is under mass scrutiny for being a pay to play money funneling operation.
Those two things are actual foreign interests controlling a candidate.
No one in the media reports on any of this.

Allow me to clear up for op.
1. Obamas staff did not submit paperwork about some donations on timely basis and in some cases waited into last week to post a few large donations.
That's the entirety of the fine.
2. Trump was personally involved in criminal acts.
See how different?
Admit it.

They were hit with one of the largest fines in history. That’s not due to paperwork errors.

Chicago taught Obama to keep separation between himself and his crimes.

Yeah that's totally the same thing as paying off women with whom you had affairs to keep them from going public before the election.

From the article linked in the OP:
There is no claim of a deliberate attempt to circumvent reporting, which is probably why there was no scandal.
quote:
The major sticking point for the FEC appeared to be a series of missing 48-hour notices for nearly 1,300 contributions totaling more than $1.8 million — an issue that lawyers familiar with the commission’s work say the FEC takes seriously. The notices must be filed on contributions of $1,000 or more that are received within the 20-day window of Election Day.

Who cares? Why does anyone care about this?
We did not elect Trump to set the moral code for this country. He is an eccentric billionaire married to a supermodel.

We need a special council to investigate all 1,300 contributions and find out who they were from and why the deadlines were missed. What was the campaign hiding?
Posted on 8/22/18 at 3:45 pm to CelticDog
And beyond that, the FEC has already hit Trump for thousands of reporting errors just like the Obama campaign. Trump's campaign finance reporting errors were barely covered, even by the so called "anti-Trump" media, because, like Obama's they are barely newsworthy. Trump knowingly conspiring to both facilitate and then coverup illegal campaign contributions is completely different.
The crybabies comparing the two might as well be saying that driving with an expired brake tag is the exact same thing as vehicular homicide since they're both traffic violations. And the cherry on top is that Trump is guilty of BOTH.

That special council should have unlimited time and funds to investigate anything they want to until they find something.

obama admin failed to report over 1200 contributions on time. That IS breaking the campaign finance laws.
DT had his lawyer pay his hookers money to shut face and paid the money back. campaign violation? Not if he did it to keep it from getting out to his family..
Whatever the outcome of that decision it is a fine at most.. lol not an impeachment.

They raised more money than any campaign in history, and the amount of the fine basically scaled reasonably with the amount of donations and money brought in. I love the way you double down on your own ignorance, though.
The amount that the Trump campaign was fined hasn't been made public yet to my knowledge, but they were also hit for thousands of similar reporting errors, and the only reason you're unaware of it is that the "anti-Trump" media treated it like the non-story it is.
