Cohen hearing

I just wanted to remind everyone of the following;

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-campaign-to-pay-375000-fine-for-omitting-some-donors-names-in-2008/2013/01/04/78973402-56bb-11e2-8b9e-dd8773594efc_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3cd35d753592

Quote:The document shows that the Obama campaign failed to disclose the identities of donors responsible for $2 million in contributions in the weeks ahead of the election. The campaign also misreported the dates of $85 million in other contributions.

In addition, the Obama campaign also kept $1.3 million in contributions that were above the legal maximum allowed for a federal campaign, failing to return them within the 60 days required by law. The campaign kept almost $874,000 of those donations until the FEC discovered they were unlawful.

Now, I'm no math wiz, but I think the amounts in discussion above are significantly higher than the money paid to Stormy Daniels.  I'd also point out that Trump has a history of paying hush money to former mistresses/hook ups, so a defense that he was just protecting his wife and kids from the affair being publicly known rather holds water.  Even if it does not, I don't recall anyone talking about impeaching Obama over his campaign finance violations, and he wasn't exactly well liked by the GOP.  I'll say it again, the Stormy Daniels payoff is not a smoking gun, it's a stupid distraction.
