Hillary Clinton’s New York-based presidential campaign was hit with an administrative fine by the Federal Election Commission following the 2016 election when the FEC found the campaign misrepresented campaign expenses by describing the opposition research that produced the discredited Steele Dossier as a "legal expense." The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid $113,000 to settle the charges, the Associated Press reported.
Yet, Donald Trump faces felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal campaign violations in the same state, echoing the alleged violations in the Clinton case and indicating a double standard in how the violations were handled by investigators.
Legal experts have criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s effort to upgrade what are ordinarily misdemeanor charges to felonies for an undefined federal election crime in order to charge Trump.
“This is a Frankenstein case. They took a dead misdemeanor. They attached it to a dead alleged federal felony and zapped it back into life. So many of us are just amazed to watch this actually walk into court, because it's not a recognizable crime that any of us have seen. This does not appear to be a federal crime, but that's the theory that Bragg is using,” legal analyst and George Washington University School of Law professor and self-professed Democrat Jonathan Turley told Fox News.
“This state misdemeanor died because of the statute of limitations. Then what Bragg said was, well, I'm going to allege that you did false filings on business records to hide a crime, but he was very ambiguous [on] what that crime might be. He still is ambiguous, but it is assumed to be a federal election crime,” he added.

While we are at it, why hasn’t Alvin Braggart and “Tish” done any investigation into Chirlaine McCray and Warren Wilhelm Jr’s theft of a Billion NY Taxpayer Dollars?
This is even worse. The FEC ruled that it was not a campaign issue and that campaign funds were not used by Trump. All Trump did was pay expenses that his lawyer billed
Yep. After getting caught filing fraudulent tax returns they were allowed to “correct” the mistakes and pay minor fines with money they skimmed off the aid to Haiti . . .

Apples and bicycles.
System of pseudo justice in unfair.
Because it is unfair the guilty Dems go free and Trump and supporters face prison threats.
Two tiered system means it is not truly justice.
So we don’t have to obey the laws in getting revenge since the laws are not valid, right?
