POLITICAL THREAD

[Levibooty]

This board is like a training seminar for russian bots and far right moonbats. I thought Texas was bad when I was there and some of my employees were trying to get me to follow infowars but I think this board has out crazied even those whacko's. I'm pretty sure people didn't try to defend Nixon as much as people try with Trump, and Nixon was a lot more sane than Cadet Bone Spurs.

Obama committed 1300 FEC violations.

So, since I'm a Russian bot, far right moonbat, then explain to my dumbass how a $130K campaign finance violation is going to result in a harsh punishment for Trump, but a $1.8M campaign finance violation only resulted in a $375K fine for Obama?

Tens times the violation for Obama results in a fine, yet you expect the much lesser violation to result in criminal charges and/or impeachment for Trump. Is that the liberal version of equal justice under the law?

Who's really the deranged, far left moonbat in this scenario?

How is that racism?
It’s only racism if you’re too GD stupid to actually look at the facts, and make judgements off of pictures.

The White dude is a monster, I don’t know enough about the black dude, but the whole point about justice is that it’s supposed to be “ blind”.

It is telling that they all have to discuss their Russian conspiracy with memes because they're so ignorant of the actual facts. Not a single one can articulate to me how an accused $130K FEC violation is going to bring Trump down.

 

[moe_schmoe]

@jameslee32, since fuzz, Levi and East couldn't explain it then maybe you can.

The payment to Stormy was $130K. That means the FEC violation is $130K. So, how is a $130K campaign finance violation going to result in a harsh punishment (criminal charges and/or impeachment) for Trump, but in 2008 a $1.8M campaign finance violation only resulted in a $375K fine for Obama?

Make that make sense to me. Explain to me how your overlords in the media have convinced you of this. What is the logic behind it?

I can understand why liberals are so excited about Manafort/Cohen, but it still boggles my mind how so many can simply act like all the evidence of mountains of wrong-doing by the Clinton/Clinton Foundation and many involved with them doesn't exist. If people break the law, they should be held accountable. But ALL should be held accountable equally (and investigated equally). That's not what is happening. There's a chosen class in our country.... the political class comprised of the left and a solid bit from the right.

Try and disrupt that money train and you will be made an example of. That's why Trump is hated so much. He had the balls to take on that political class and win, despite the deck being 100% stacked against him.

Serious question...you think Trump should go to prison for banging a hottie and paying her to keep quiet? Something he has likely done most of his adult life.

Former FEC Chairman. It's not an FEC violation because under the law 'hush money' isn't considered a campaign expense, and if it was considered a campaign expense, then Trump would have been required by law to pay it using campaign funds instead of his own money. Not to mention, Stormy would have existed regardless of the election.

When the FEC wrote the regulation that says what constitutes campaign expenditures and what constitutes personal use, it rejected specifically the idea that a campaign expenditure was anything related to a campaign, and instead says it has to be something that exists only because of the campaign and solely for that reason.

But let’s remember a basic principle of such laws: Not everything that might benefit a candidate is a campaign expense.

Campaign-finance law aims to prevent corruption. For this reason, the FEC has a longstanding ban on “personal use” of campaign funds. Such use would give campaign contributions a material value beyond helping to elect the candidate—the essence of a bribe.

FEC regulations explain that the campaign cannot pay expenses that would exist “irrespective” of the campaign, even if it might help win election. At the same time, obligations that would not exist “but for” the campaign must be paid from campaign funds.

If paying hush money is a campaign expense, a candidate would be required to make that payment with campaign funds. How ironic, given that using campaign funds as hush money was one of the articles of impeachment in the Watergate scandal, which gave rise to modern campaign-finance law.

I’ll explain since you obviously just read headlines. O’ Bamas violations were clericle. Meaning it was a matter of the information on the money received didn’t match what the books said. They audited and found the mistake was clericle and imposed a large fine. In other words, all the money was received and used legally. Trump took money from campaign finance and used it to pay off prostitutes from reporting transgressions in order to sway an election. I hope that clears it up.

No Nail. Cohen pleaded guilty to paying women specifically for the purpose of influencing the election. This is categorized as an illegal campaign contribution I suppose by wording it the way they did in the SDNY. Who knows how Congress plays this. A congressman was indicted today in other news.

Trump is a Billionaire. He took money from campaign?

So now we believe Cohen.

I'm pretty sure people didn't try to defend Nixon as much as people try with Trump

What about Bill Clinton? If you recall, in 1999, Clinton was acquitted by the full Senate, with every Democrat voting for acquittal, for undeniably lying under oath and obstructing justice. Trump hasn't been charged with anything, much less found guilty of it.

why do you keep parroting this stupid comparison? someone on the Obama campaign screwed up and didn't file the names for 1300 of the 3.2million campaign donations. know what the camapaign didnt do? they didn't send out ghouliani on every tv show to claim it never happened and then later claim it did happen but nothing bad happened. They admitted fault, fixed the problem and moved on. It also wasn't Obama that did any of it, some random accountant. Trump & Cohen wilfully tried to defraud the FEC & american public so they wouldnt find out he is a POS that screws around on his pregnant wives.

Trump isn't going to prison. anyone that thinks or even hopes he will is a fool. People that high up the food chain don't pay for their crimes. At some point he will probably end up a national embarrassment like Nixon and like him he will skate free.

People get upset because I post meme's It's almost like they're thin skinned or maybe "snowflakes" LOL

No, he didn't. Trump paid out of pocket with his own money. And since you're so good at explaining things, then explain how this "swayed an election".

For it to be an FEC violation you have to prove that the payment only existed but for the campaign. That this issue was specifically related to the campaign.

Are you implying that the only reason Trump paid off a porn star is because he was running for president? Or, that Stormy only existed and wanted money because Trump was running for president? Or, Trump has never paid anyone off when he wasn't running for president?
