The obama campaign didnt need to repay within 48hrs, they only needed to file FEC paperwork within 48hrs.Obama's campaign only failed to file FEC paperwork within the 48hour window.Apparently you didnt read the link i provided: campaign finance violations “become crimes when they satisfy a monetary threshold and are committed with specific criminal intent”Obama did the same? Obama had a few donors exceed the donation limit, and had to pay a huge fine because of it.
"witch hunt" = "im not a crook"
Right, Obama didn't repay the money until he had to. Trump had already repaid the money before anyone even knew about it.
Obama: Held $1.8 million in illegal donations. Didn't report the overpays 1,300 times.
Trump: Held zero in illegal donations, didn't report the overpays 1 time.
So let's say they're the same even though Obama did more than not file the form. Obama was fined $375K. Let's divide that by 1,300 and round up.
Trump owes us, the taxpayers, $300. Pay up, man! Pay up!
If you did read it, you'd know Dinesh D'souza committed felony because he did cross the line. But obama's campaign didnt, it was only civil violation.
None of those hurdles were remotely met.
Trump instructed Cohen to pay off the tart, which is perfectly legal. Cohen was apparently paid with campaign money, which would have made Cohen's payment an excessive campaign contribution, which isn't a felony. However, Trump repaid the campaign so it wasn't an excessive campaign contribution at all. No form was filed, which Obama did 1,300 times. Obama was fined a couple hundred bucks per incident.
There is no felony and no felony cover up. Saying what would be a crime if Trump had done it is irrelevant when he didn't do it.
You realize if Hillary shot someone, that would be murder. OMG, you want her arrested now, right? That's what you're advocating for Trump, DaSchmuck
But Cohen intentionally obscured an unlawful contribution from the FEC. And this accompanies tax fraud and bank fraud.
Obama's campaign violation was so insignificant at the time 2008, it wasnt even reported. Compare 375,000 to a billion in total campaign.
You're a liar, DaSchmuck. You omitted that Trump had repaid the campaign before anyone even knew about it because you're a liar and you realized that worked against you.
And Obama did NOT repay it in the 48 hour window, which is one of the things he was fined for, liar
Here is another description: one count of “willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution”, which Cohen pleaded guilty to. Whether Trump repaid immediately is irrelevant.
