But Trump argues that campaign finance violations are common and what happened wasn't a crime. On an interview that aired Thursday on Fox News, Trump pointed to his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, whom he said was caught in a "massive" violation.

"Almost everybody that runs for office has campaign violations," he said.

But there's one key difference: The violation in Trump's case was apparently purposeful.


Here we go again with "intent."

It is far beyond that.

Congress has a tax payer funded hush fund to keep sexual abuse victims of sitting congressmen quiet and no one seems to care at all.

Trump paid out of his own bank account a consensual legal whore he fricked 10 years ago to keep her mouth shut during his run for office and they want him removed from the presidency.

Hillary Clinton's campaign was funded by Saudi Arabia and her charity foundation was used to gather money funded to her campaign by political lobbyists. No one cares.

Trump's son had a meeting with an guy from Russia one time and they want Trump indicted on treason charges.

The Democrats whine and moan about how black people can never make it and American jobs can never come back while continuing counter-intuitive policies in majority black cities and regulations on business that drive jobs oversees.

Trump is presiding over a large growth of jobs and the lowest unemployment rate among blacks in history, but he is declared a racist antiamerican.

Trump condemns all violence and anger from all sides at protests and he is called a fascist white supremacists.

Dems openly call for murder of police and ICE employees and advocate for violence against Trump supporters and the president's cabinet. No one cares.

Hillary's campaign colluded with the DNC and the MSM to rig the candidacy against Bernie and then rig the debates. No one cares. Then when caught she illegally deleted and wiped all evidence and destroyed her private server obstructing justice and election tampering. No one cares.

Trump says he wished he could see those emails. He is labeled a foreign agent advocating for the overthrow of democracy.

The entirety of the MSM said before election night that refusing to accept a peacefully elected president is detrimental to the foundation of this country.

Two years later they are still refusing to accept his presidency with unabashed arrogance.

Barack Obama weaponized the intellegnce community and the IRS against political opponents specifically to influence an election. No one cares.

Trump paid a hooker to keep her mouth shut and they are crying that he violated the trust of the American people in the election process.

“apparently” purposeful. That’s the most important wording.

Trump could potentially be an alleged serial killer, unnamed sources have apparently stated.

Cohen's plea deal included the oddity of copping to a nonexistent "crime" which was solely designed to implicate Trump.

All the others were purposeful as well. It just didn't matter to the opposition.

Does anyone think that the Obama campaign accidently failed to disclose the IDs of big donors? Or inadvertently sent Christmas cards to foreign donors asking for & receiving illegal donations? Or failed to pay back the illegal donations in a timely manner as a big whoops?

Did the Bush White House just forget that they couldn't use Federal Tax dollars to finance Republican campaigns and fundraisers around the country? Did they just take a mulligan?

Sources familiar with how investigators think, believe Trump may be the subject of an alleged investigation.

Why do we put up with Byzantine regulations that can ensnare just about every citizen?

Especially in the tax code.

Intent is part of it, but it's also like the difference between filing your taxes a day late and committing tax fraud.

The FEC also hit the Trump campaign with thousands of counts of civil FEC infractions (i.e., reporting errors) just like the ones Trump keeps pointing out about Obama. You're unaware of those because, like they were with Obama, they're barely newsworthy. That's not what Cohen plead guilty to and claims Trump was an active participant in.

It's really convenient for leftists if when they break the law, they can decide intent. Or
visa versa, when the opposing party is accused of breaking the very same laws.

I would not recommend holding your breath for an intellegent and reasoned response from a progressive hypocrit.

It has dawned on me that if the deep state and their 1984 tactics are as real as I think they are, I might be dead soon. Or at least tortured to confession of thought crime.
