This smacks of the political charges against Senator Ted Stevens in Alaska. Found innocent after they cost him the election.

I don’t know if this has been posted yet...
One of the charges Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to was “Campaign Finance Fraud.”
According to Politico, Cohen told the judge he acted at the direction of Donald Trump.

No campaign funds were used in the transaction.

Hillary only turned $3,000 into $100,000

Clinton-Gore personally solicited illegal Chinese Communist campaign funds in 1996 and only paid a “fine”. And in return the Chinese Communist government got missile technology

And it might be a good time to consider investing in torches and pitchforks.

The Deep State is leaving no doubt who's in charge,

Yep, came here to say the same thing. The Dems are doing are going to that page in the playbook again - I bet Collins and Hunter will be found not guilty, but not until after the midterms.

All coordinated. You would have to be blind or flat out stupid to not see all of this coming.

No, you are thinking of Duke Cunnigham.

Deep state holdovers are doing this in San Diego and New York.

Hunter probably got complacent since its a “safe district”, therefore sloppy!

Okay well if that’s true then why is he guilty of campaign finance fraud and what would Trumps exposure be?

How is it our guys always get caught? Or is it that we just care and the dems just expect it.

The deep state created an entirely new crime with Cohen, because Trump has done nothing wrong. So they invented the crime of paying off an extortionist while being a candidate. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with using your attorney to arrange it, paying the attorney for his services and having the attorney front the expenses. Happens every single day. Now they are calling it an effort to influence a campaign, and it’s a donation. Ridiculous!!!

[And yet hillary has hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign governments sent to the Foundation and she walks free.]

The Clinton-Obama Cabal had plenty of time to put operatives in place. And now, W. counts them among his few friends.
