If meddling in elections is a crime why is rigging an election not?

The DNC rigged the primaries to guarantee Hillary victory over Bernie. Russians posted some Facebook propaganda.
Even if the Russians hacked the DNC(I still think it was an inside job) they used the DNC’s own words against them, not lies. Whereas the DNC used a fabricated “dossier” to hurt Trump.
Once again I will ask, why is meddling a crime but rigging an election not?

It is only a crime because the Democrats didn't win the election.

Election Law does not apply to primaries if I remember correctly. That means as an entity the DNC can rig it however they like.

If Hillary has ascended to the White House like everybody expected, we would be hearing about none of this.

In the modern leftist judicial system, what is or is not a crime is largely determined based on the identity and political affiliation of both perp and victim. You see that taken to its logical conclusion in Europe where Muslims get wrist slaps for the most serious felonies while normal people are imprisioned for, well, saying stuff.

Nah, it's just the United States Criminal code.
Hacking is a crime. So called "rigging" a presidential primary isn't.

The DNC is a private organization. They don’t even have to have primaries. They could do it the way they did it for years...nominate a candidate out of a smoke-filled back room.
As 2016 showed, they apparently still do that, anyway. Their primaries are a dog-and-pony show designed to give their base the illusion that they still have a say in the matter.

It's also malicious prosecution by selective enforcement to ONLY go after shadowy Russkies and not all the DNC involved in the primaries.
Like the other thread with the quotes from Michael Hayden who was CIA/NSA/etc. during the Obamanation, admitting Illegal Actions by the IC but claiming a moral high ground in doing it.
Moral and illegal, 2 words that do NOT go together.
So the DNC rigging their primaries is both illegal and immoral. Once again, there goes the DemProgFilthLibInsane chasing their tails round and round.

But what about the people who donated to the DNC or other DNc candidates that had no legitimate chance due to the rigging. Was that disclosed to them about the DNC? Seems like they should get their money back. Seems like the other candidates who spent their own money and time should be reimbursed as well. I know I would be pissed to find this out. What a scam.

I don't know the specifics, but I would imagine that the DNC has a disclaimer about donations that would cover it.

Is pushing a fake dossier “meddling” or just good political strategy?

This 1000% it is mind boggling to me that all this is just skipped over by EVERYONE in power..Do we have laws? Are we actually still a Country with a Constitution?

What about biting on a phishing scam, which is what John Podesta did that got this whole ball rolling?

Leftists had no problem when Obama meddled with the Israeli election in an attempt to undermine Bibi

What do we call it when our Secretary of State accepts millions of dollars to overthrow a democratically elected foreign government?

The rigging of the DNC primary was not a crime because it was Hillary's turn.

Yes, phishing is a crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse act.

Yes, 12 were literally indicted on Friday. Are you in that much of an infowars bubble?

Because in the Subjugated USA, a Leftist Authoritarian Puppet of the Globalist Internationalist Leftist World Government, the only serious crimes are political crimes against Der Staat.
