[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Still no response to this.  Likely because there is no "good" answer to the blatant bias.

These are apple and oranges violations. Clinton was accused of misrepresenting the payments on a form filed with the FEC, not business forms filed with the state. As such, Clinton was fined by the FEC but doesn't appear to have violated any state laws.

Trump was also investigated by the FEC but the case was dropped when Republican members of the Commission voted to drop the case. This despite the recommendation by the General Counsel that the Commission find that Trump violated multiple campaign finance laws. So, the real question you should ask is why Trump didn't receive the same penalty that Clinton did? Trump clearly benefited from preferential treatment by the FEC.

How can a city's/county's DA prosecute a federal crime?[/quote]

They can't and there is no indication that Bragg intends to do so. While we haven't seen the indictment, it is expected that Trump will be charged with violating New York State laws regarding the falsification of business records.

In the course of paying off Stormy Daniels, Trump appears to have violated Federal campaign expense laws, but was not prosecuted for doing so (contrary to Clinton who was fined). But, he also misreported the expenses in violation of state law. Additionally, he may be on the hook for tax code violations. The indictment should be an interesting read.
