    I stand corrected.

    Still, Rosie essentially did the same thing. Let's see if anything happens to her. I'd be shocked if she spends one day in court.

    Dinesh made donations in the names of other people to avoid campaign limits to the tune of $20k to a single candidate. Rosie makes excessive donations under her name which is easy for a treasurer to pick up and return the excess.

    Since I’m not a republican, I’m not going to blame any conspiracy. I hope she faces the same penalty anyone else would in this circumstance.
    Although since republicans tell us money is speech, I’m sure they’re all here defending her 1st amendment right lol

    So Rosie is going to jail? Or probation? Community service? A note on her permanent record?

    But since you are a leftist you will bring up a false allegation of a conspiracy where none exists.

    Anybody that stupid
    ratting themselves out deserves that at a minimum.
    Money IS speech and unions and the media all recognize this. Of course what she did goes beyond any legal boundaries so I hope she winds up in a nice cell with a friendly cell mate.

    I made no conspiracy allegation.

    Ok

    Money is speech, but only up to a certain amount?

    How? If Cohen used his own money and Trump paid him back with his own money, how does that violate campagn finance laws?

    Cite the specific statute and explain how it was violated.

    Not me. I think Putin is a complete asshat and probably a vampire.....which would go nicely with Rosie's "great pumpkin" :)

    Except to claim all conservatives
    do.


    Money is speech but you cannot make multiple donations under aliases.

    Rosie just seems to be following the playbook. Do as I say, not as I do, right? And isn't that the way the left in this country have always been? The law is only for the little folks? The folks who populate their plantations afterall?

    Well, she didn't do the whole alias and lying thing, so she will just get a refund check.

    Rosie contributed illegally to five candidates. D'Souza only contributed illegally to one, a college friend.

    And Rosie was using different names.

    Time to throw the book at big lez.
