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.
According to the Politico the Obama campaign was fined $375,000.
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.

Obama was and is above the law.
The DemonRats are subversive enemies of the Republic.
I think there is a big difference here. Didn’t Clinton use campaign funds?
Impeached? Ha!
That probably contributed to his ill-gotten Nobel Peace Prize.
Obama is one of the sainted elites who act with impunity. In the third-world corruptocracy known as the American “justice” system, two classes of status govern enforcement. Obama, the Clintons, Comey et al are part of the elite class who will never face justice for any wrongdoing. We members of the commoner class can expect the full weight of the system to crash on us for an infraction.
Obama could have shot someone in broad daylight and not been impeached. No one was going to impeach the first black US president, no matter what he did. Too bad he had to be the first and was tolerated by so many. Just leaves a bad reputation now for decent people of color out there to have to get past.

100 percent accurate
Does anyone know the exact statutory sections of the campaign finance law that are the subject of Cohen’s guilty plea? Try as a may, I have yet to find the specific sections at issue.
Obama was and is above the law.
*******************************
That’s what happens when you allow an ineligible usurper into the office the Constitution says he cannot hold.
Both parties conspired to violate the Constitution.
Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
It would destroy both parties if the truth ever got out about the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
That is why Obama has been unaccountable for anything.
How much did Obama pay, his campaign pay, his handlers pay, and his fixers pay to hide his past with the intent to influence an election? All of his records were either sealed, scrubbed, or erased.
“Obama was and is above the law.”
And a complete Moron who apparently never knew what was going on unless he saw it on the news.
.... There is a bit of a difference between then and now ..... Back then nobody of note had the will to impeach the President ..... Now ... The ENTIRE opposition party, and a HUGE chunk of the Nation is Very Ready .... and Very Willing to do so.
There are none. Mark Levin has gone over this subject several times with the former chairman of the FEC who was on the board when they wrote the rules.
Basically this was a private matter between to private parties for actions taken prior to the election. But even if it wasn’t the candidate has the right to improve their personal image for the electorate.
The RATs are in a years long temper tantrum and won’t end it until they get their way. The MSM is their bully pulpit and we the people are stuck with the BS. It won’t end the way they want it, there WILL be a red wave in the midterms and our President, Donald J Trump will be re-elected in 2020. Just sayin’ . . .
The Clintoons used enough campaign funds to deserve at least 300 years in the federal pen.(not the little black ones that write so good)S/O
The spew coming from people such as Schumer, Schiff, Omarosa, Waters, Conyers, Rosenstein, Comey, Brennan, Mueller, etc., and the fifth column enemy media, Americans are waking up to the reality that the law is no longer ruling America. Too many corrupt to the core democrat judges and corrupt investigators and criminal minions in the unJustice department expose the reality of this once great Republic.
There must be. I have never witnessed a plea bargain which fails to state the specific statutory sections that are the subject of the plea.
There is no way in hell Congress is going to impeach over campaign finance law violations. Professional courtesy.
