Barack Obama's presidential campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating federal disclosure laws, Politico reports.

An FEC audit of Obama for America's 2008 records found the committee failed to disclose millions of dollars in contributions and dragged its feet in refunding millions more in excess contributions.

BFD! Obama made out like a bandit on that one. Just as he anticipated when he broke the laws. The “fine” should have actually hurt him.

So Trump’s campaign may have failed to disclose a $100,000 load, that was ultimately paid off by Trump himself, not the campaign.

Date on the article says 2013. But that’s besides the point, that Obama should have been tarred and feathered and run out of Washington, DC. Instead, he got re-elected. Two brands of justice, none for Dems and brutal for Repubs.
