Or all Obama aids that were tax cheats.

https://pjmedia.com/trending/obama-was-accused-of-offering-hush-money-and-no-one-cared/

Edward Klein broke the story in the New York Post on May 13, 2012—the same year Obama was reelected—that Obama’s team tried to buy Wright’s silence during the 2008 campaign. According to Wright, he was offered $150,000 through an Obama intermediary (one of Obama’s closest friends), and Obama himself tried to persuade him to keep quiet.

“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”
“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.

“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’

So, here we have Barack Obama wanting to meet in a "secret" and "secure" location, and then urging Wright to keep quiet for the sake of his presidential campaign, and an offer of $150,000 in hush money from a close Obama friend, and likely a campaign donor as well. Wright didn’t accept the hush money, but by his account, Obama is guilty of everything Trump is being accused of.

Whataboutisms again? I’m shocked!

You are missing the point. Trump spent $66 million on his campaign, and you are somehow suggesting that maybe $240 thousand of possibly misdirected campaign funds is somehow a bigger deal than $$millions of undisclosed 3rd party donations to Obama, or even $200 million of DNC misappropriated donations meant for Bernie.

But nah, Trump maybe possibly using .3% of his own monetary campaign donations to do something personal equals IMPEACH!!!!

Yeah its pure hypocrisy combined w TDS. There is literally nothing to see here, unless we are looking at HRC and the DNC.

When you put it that way, really makes the TDS stand out!

So that's why trump's still trying to sort out campaign donations with the FEC, because there is literally nothing to see here. Well maybe al little something like say a 53-page list sent by the FEC in April of possibly “excessive, prohibited and impermissible” contributions in his 2016 year-end or say a 253-page letter the agency sent Trump’s campaign in January questioning large numbers of contributions Maybe just a little tiny bit to see here.

The FEC hasn't been able to make heads or tails of trump's campaign contribution reporting yet to decide what to do about it.

Nothing to see here either, right Bobby... like $84 MILLION worth??

FEC hit with lawsuit over ignoring civil complaint accusing Clinton, DNC in election scheme.

The Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee allegedly used state chapters as strawmen to launder as much as $84 million in an effort to circumvent campaign donation limits, and the Federal Election Commission ignored complaints exposing the practice, a lawsuit filed Monday claims.

The Committee to Defend the President (CDP), a political action committee formally known as Stop Hillary PAC, filed its complaint with the FEC in December 2017 with the claims that the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) solicited cash from big-name donors, and allegedly sent that money through state chapters and back to the DNC before ending up with the Clinton campaign.

“After months of review, the FEC has refused to address the Clintons’ $84 million money laundering scheme that violated several campaign finance laws.”

RafiMaas says

What Trump is alleged to have done is to have personally instructed his attorney to facilitate an illegal contribution by a corporation with the goal of burying a negative story before the campaign and, in another case, having that attorney make an illegal payment to hide another damaging allegation. Unlike the Obama example, the violation was allegedly intentional. Unlike the Obama example, Trump and Cohen then proceeded to lie about what took place for months — until Cohen’s admission in court.

TDS

RafiMaas says

an illegal contribution by a corporation

Yeah Trump should go to PRISON for misappropriating $200 million of donations to manipulate our election. (Oh that was HRC.) Nevermind, lets focus on shuffles outrage deck $240k of personal money spent on a private matter. Totally!

RafiMaas says

If it wasn't a big deal then why lie about it?

To cause more

Look at this insane reaction from the left. You think maybe he might want to protect his family from having a private transgression being rubbed in their face?

TDS has hit a new high.

He didn't have to run for president. That was his choice.

Nothing close to this happens to the establishment's choice.

TDS is a direct function of brainwashing. We are living in 1930's Nazi Germany. I shudder to think what may happen if the dems take back political power. Wouldnt be surprised if we took a few dangerous steps in the south African direction.
