Well, here's the AV club mentioning the story with kind of that take:
https://news.avclub.com/rosie-odonnell-is-in-trouble-for-being-too-generous-to-1825813620
Now, we always try to take a balanced approach to both sides of the political divide here at The A.V. Club, but this seems like the kind of thing that’s only a big deal because it involves a famously liberal celebrity giving money to Democratic politicians. If a right-wing celebrity were doing this for Republican politicians, they’d be granted a position in Trump’s cabinet or—at the very least—a cushy time-slot on Fox News. Batman breaks the law every night, but the people who try to stop him are almost always villains because he does what he does for a good cause. Is Rose O’Donnell any different?

I'm guessing you think of yourself as above Trump, right? Think again.

She willfully and knowingly exceeded the limits. These deceptive tactics should be dealt with swiftly and to the letter of the law. Will they?
Of course, she claims the onus is on the campaigns to keep track of donations.

A fine is what should happen.
Next.
Interesting. Dinesh D’Sousa got lots more than a fine.
Judge Richard M. Berman of Federal District Court in Manhattan sentenced Mr. D’Souza to five years of probation — including eight months living under supervision in a “community confinement center” in San Diego — and a $30,000 fine. The sentencing brought to a close a high-profile legal battle that began with Mr. D’Souza’s indictment in January on charges that he illegally used straw donors to contribute to a Republican Senate candidate in New York in 2012.

What's interesting is that his case was actually reported on - by the mainstream media. Gee, I wonder why that is??

Gosh, why didn’t she just funnel her money through a PAC like all the conservative mega donors.

What's wrong with what Rosie did? After all, she was supporting Democratic candidates ....... so all is forgiven.
