On Tuesday, Trump’s former personal attorney
Michael Cohen surrendered himself to the FBI after
it was reported he
reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Michael Cohen admitted he violated campaign
finance laws in relation to the Stormy Daniels payment at direction of a
‘candidate.’
He paid off the porn star over $100,000 in a hush money agreement
which she later violated.
Democrats and their liberal media cheered
that this was the end of the Trump “regime.”
But it wasn’t that long ago that a
presidential campaign was charged with much worse.
In 2013 Maggie Haberman at Politico reported
on the criminal campaign reporting violations against the Obama campaign.
President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was
fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting
violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential
campaign, POLITICO has learned.
The fine — laid out in detail in FEC
documents that have yet to be made public — arose from an audit of the
campaign, which was published in April.
