Wouldn’t Hillary’s payments to Fusion GPS also violate campaign finance law?

A) they influenced the election
B) they weren’t reported to the FEC
When Schiff said Trump faces jail time for paying Strormy & not reporting it to the FEC, let’s accept that to be true for a minute. How are Hillary’s payments to Fusion GPS any different? Serious replies only please.

By the new standard, Trump buying hairspray should be disclosed

Of course they are, and in this case they used ACTUAL CAMPAIGN FUNDs, unlike the mind boggling reach the SDNY is pushing.

Trump paid the whore a 150k which is peanuts to the millions the Clinton campaign paid fusion GPS

It's not influencing the election.
It's influencing the OUTCOME of the election.
The outcome was determined that she should win. She didn't. Guilty

She didn't intend to influence the election though... See it is all about "intent"...

Influencing the outcome of 2 elections. It will absolutely have an impact on the 2020 election

Yes. The big issue though is that Cohen isn't being jailed for that, he's being jailed for lying to Congress.
I think the Dems know they need to avoid the campaign finance violations unless they want Hillary put in deep (where Trump spent a hundred k or so, Hillary spent millions).

I see one of them downvoted you, but I haven't seen them make a counter-argument.
I'm waiting...

My guess would be that it wouldn't be considered the same offense.
The payments to hush Stormy Daniels and the other women are considered in-kind donations to the campaign that were not disclosed to the public.
Clinton's Fusion GPS payments were to receive a product or service. The dossier wasn't donated to them they paid for it. So you wouldn't need to report it as a campaign contribution.
What do you think? This is just my guess. I hope this qualifies as a serious reply.

SDNY is arguing that it was prohibited corporate contribution to the Trump campaign in the form of a loan by Cohen's shell corporation and was made with coordination of the Trump campaign.

Payment for the dossier is considered a campaign expenditure made by the campaign and DNC for the purpose of influencing the campaign and would have to be disclosed in HRC's filings. It was fraudulently disclosed as legal fees.

Thanks for the clarification. What would be the proper classification for that expenditure? Isn't opposition research usually done through law firms?

Bet your butt salve bill is Yuuge!

and the whore was told to be quiet, while Clinton has paying someone to make up stuff
I mean..where do we start?
the media is probably foaming at the mouth, "we got him"

The expenditure description needs to identify the recipient and the purpose. The FEC gives various examples of how expenditures should be coded but probably would have been properly described as consulting vs. legal services.

FOIA-based tradecraft maybe, but not the stuff that Fusion GPS, via Perkins Coie, commissioned ex-Brit spy Steele to do.
While lawyers can hire experts to help present expert evidence for a case, that was not happening here. Below is the link to the FEC complaint against Hellary and the DNC.

Nope. Good try, though.
