Clinton Campaign Finance Scandal Exposes Media Double Standard
dailycaller.com ^ | 8/30/18 | Ted Harvey

(snips)--

Over a week has passed since Michael Cohen’s plea deal, and the left-leaning mainstream media is still beating the war drums.

From The New York Times to MSNBC, the liberal media remains fixated on President Trump’s alleged $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, even though it came from personal finances, not campaign funds.

****

Know what else is extraordinary? Hillary Clinton’s well-documented $84 million campaign finance scandal, which the liberal media simply refuses to cover. That’s right: $84 million — 647 times more money than is involved in the Daniels case, which amounts to an insignificant Federal Election Commission (FEC) reporting issue.

Whereas it’s likely that President Trump did not violate campaign finance law in any way, his 2016 opponent is implicated in America’s largest campaign finance scandal to date.

It’s been over 250 days since the complaint was filed — and counting.

The Democrat Party establishment stands accused of steering $84 million in illegal straw man contributions to Clinton’s campaign — an exponentially more sophisticated money laundering scheme than the one carried out by conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza in 2012.

D’Souza was sentenced to eight months in a community confinement center and five years of probation for a campaign finance violation that amounted to $20,000.Clinton’s money laundering scheme is more than 4,000 times larger. In other words, the $84 million scheme amounts to the single largest campaign finance scandal in U.S. history.

And yet the liberal media has deemed the scandal unworthy of its coverage, even though the Committee’s complaint has resulted in an ongoing federal investigation. Months have passed since that investigation was opened, and the likes of The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC refuse to cover it. Ditto for CBS, ABC, and NBC — only crickets.

A little more:

"Last year, the Committee to Defend the President filed a complaint with the FEC, documenting “an unprecedented, massive, nationwide multi-million dollar conspiracy” carried out by the Clinton machine. The Committee’s 101-page complaint was built entirely on FEC reports filed by Democrats, memos authored by Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and public statements from former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile, among others."

************

The raw, pervasive, incredibly destructive corruption of nearly all of our media (about 85% of the media as The President said in Indiana last night) is close to killing this country.

This nation WILL NOT SURVIVE UNLESS MORE OF THE PEOPLE understand what they are absorbing every day from the DESTRUCTIVE, EVIL MEDIA.

This is the kind of thing is now driving millions of voters to Trump.
When I saw that 38% of black Americans now support this great president , I was not surprised but I was amazed at how fast this is turning against the deep state/ media in this country. All of this double standard and unequal justice is back firing with tremendous force. I talk to many business people every day and yesterday was astounding. Most have remained circumspect and non committal but in just a few days it has changed. I had three different occasions where people were shocked that hillary ‘s lawyer ,Lanny Davis, had sold Michael Cohen down the River and lied to the media about an innocuous meeting that nobody cares about but here we have $84 million in campaign violations and multiple felonies and the media/ deep state activity hides it. Cumulatively, this is pissing off Americans like I have never seen.

“This is the kind of thing is now driving millions of voters to Trump.”

I agree - Trump gets screwed over by the double standard in MSM and the two tier justice system - but politically he’s winning big.

So why do I get called a crackpot for suggesting that Trump is purposely stringing Mueller along? Trump obviously benifits from being the innocent victim of a political witch hunt - and it makes the Democrats look like the bad guys.

Trump occasionally tweets criticism of his AG and DOJ, but he never lifts a pinky finger to actually force an end to the investigation. The theory that he’s afraid of a few RINO senators just does not comport with everything we know about this POTUS.

I pray that your personal observations are indicative of the entire country.

I always have the fear that not nearly enough of the citizens are hip to the EVIL LEFT.

I honestly believe we are about to see a special prosecutor appointed by the President to investigate Hillary and the fisa fiasco. It will be scorched earth.

I honestly believe that you are right.

Whatever ........ I do believe DJT is 10 steps ahead of the *ssholes in the "Intelligence" Community, the MSM, and in Congress.

America will be saved by this extraordinary fellow.

I'm nearly 72 years old and I feel as certain of our President's success as I am certain of my future stepping off this mortal coil.

****

I pray each day that his efforts are successful.

This man had NO REASON to run for this daunting job .... except for his deep love for this country.

God must bless him.

Yes. He is above bribes. He does what he thinks is in our best interest as a nation. He is going to destroy the deep state. They will not stop him.

Media has been part of the Democrat Party since the 1930’s. Does anyone remember when the NYTimes was a Republican paper?

Not me.

But, I remember when married couples on sitcoms lived in homes with TWO beds in their bedrooms.

..... Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Dick Van Dyke Show, etc., etc.
