a short video (all platforms) should go viral with the Obama examples, plus the Clinton one below, plus Comey not prosecuting Hillary for her server/emails offences, plus Biden’s classified docs story - too senile to prosecute etc:

24 May: JustTheNews: While Trump faces felony charges, NY-based Clinton campaign only faced fines for its records issue
Selective Prosecution? Following the 2016 election, the FEC determined the Clinton campaign incorrectly recorded opposition research as legal expenses, but was only hit with an administrative fine
By Steven Richards
The payments in question were sent to powerhouse law firm Perkins Coie to pay for the opposition research that ultimately produced the discredited Steele Dossier which sparked the Russian collusion investigation into Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign. Instead of classifying them as for opposition research, the Clinton campaign labeled the expenses “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.”

Records from OpenCorporates and the New York Department of State show the Clinton campaign—called HFACC, Inc. or Hillary for America—was registered in 2015 in the state of New York and operates out of an office in the Financial District, which is in Alvin Bragg’s district, theoretically making the campaign subject to the same state laws as Donald Trump...

The DNC will pay $105,000 and the Clinton campaign $8,000...

Daniel Wessel, a DNC spokesperson, said in a statement that “we settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about ‘purpose descriptions’ in our FEC report,” while a spokesperson for Clinton’s office did not respond to a request for comment...

The civil penalty appears to relate to highly technical rules about how campaign spending through an intermediary should be reported, and not to delve into issues around the legality (or veracity) of the dossier. In a letter addressing one of the complaints, the commission said it dismissed allegations against Marc Elias — who was then an attorney at Perkins Coie and is now the namesake of his own firm — and the law firm itself, Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele himself, and other allegations against the DNC over impermissible contributions from foreign nationals...
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated lawyer Graham Wilson’s law firm. The former Perkins Coie attorney now works for Elias Law Group.
