We always hear Democrats talking about how they want to pass new campaign finance laws.
So I’m curious to see if these same Democrats will want to enforce the campaign finance laws that are already on the books.
Hillary Clinton committed $84 million in campaign finance law violations. So far, not a angle Democrat has called for her to be prosecuted.
By comparison, the Obama administration sent Dinesh D’Souza (who had previously made an anti-Obama film) to prison for a $20,000 campaign finance law violation. D’Souza did indeed break the law, and the law did indeed call for such a prison term. He was not innocent. He really was guilty.
Clinton’s campaign finance law violation is far bigger than D’Souza’s. In fact, it’s the biggest campaign finance law violation of all time.
Will Democrats call for Clinton to be prosecuted? Or is their claimed support for campaign finance laws just an act of virtue signaling?
No....not when the laws apply to THEM.
It’s past time to get real serious about exposing and stopping “voter fraud!!”
President Trump is absolutely right about the voter fraud in 2016. He doesn’t talk about things that he doesn’t already have the answers to.

Campaign finance laws are like gun control laws - neither achieves their stated objectives, they turn out to be largely unenforceable and the Democrats will ignore them for their own purposes anyway. If applied, these kind of statutes only get used against political enemies, and the law gets scoffed at once again, further eroding whatever moral force the belief in “rule of law” may once have had.
Democrats want to restrict donations because they get billions of dollars worth of free press from the corrupt MSM.
