FORMER FEC COMMISSIONER: TRUMP DID NOT VIOLATE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS

WATCH:
Former FEC Commissioner Hans Von Spakovsky debunked the argument that President Donald Trump broke campaign finance laws by paying women he allegedly had affairs with prior to becoming president.
The president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail on Wednesday for a litany of crimes, including making an illegal campaign contribution amounting to $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, who alleges she slept with Trump in 2006, so she would keep quiet about the affair.
Despite the guilty plea, Spakovsky said that Trump should not be worried because it would have to be a “campaign-related expense” for the contribution break any campaign finance laws.
He also pointed out that the only other time the Justice Department tried to say payments like these were campaign-related expenses was with John Edwards. Donations to Edwards’ campaign actually went to paying his mistress, a woman who worked for the campaign and ended up having his child.
A jury, however, ruled that Edwards’ donations were not a campaign-related expense.

None of this will stop the Dems from pursuing charges and trying to judge shop to convict Trump.

He's no longer the fec chair, so he can't be trusted.

Does it change the meaning? Either he is an expert or not. Considering his former position I would say he is.
Sucks for the socialists

DNC Chairman Tom Perez, AKA Frito Bandito, has just issued a press release which reads as follows:
"Laws? We don't care about no stinking laws! All we know is, Orange Man Bad!"

It doesn’t matter what this guy says. He is but one voice in a sea of much louder voices. What he says doesn’t fit the narrative and he’ll therefore be drowned out.

Edward’s actions and payments were also not in the midst of the campaign. As a prosecutor I still probably would have pursued him because it’s hard not to, but the situations are different.

Edwards wasn’t running for office when he paid off his mistress. Hard to be a campaign expense when there’s no campaign.
