The media has been in a frenzy trying to prove President Trump violated campaign finance laws by buying the rights to a story about an alleged affair he had. All the while ignoring massive campaign finance violations by Hillary Clinton.

According to Marina Medvin’s piece in Town Hall:

For the past few days, the media has been abuzz with the potential evidence that Donald Trump violated campaign finance laws with a buyout of the rights to a story of an affair he had a decade prior to the election. 

But what about Hillary Clinton’s potential campaign finance law violations, where are the Big Media stories about that? 

For the past seven months, a complaint with the FEC has been pending, alleging a campaign finance law violation by a Hillary Clinton authorized campaign committee. Known as the Hillary Victory Fund, or HVF, the committee collected and then allegedly laundered $84 million worth of questionable contributions. Big spenders at HVF included big names, such as Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and designer Calvin Klein. 

The HVF scheme is described to have worked like this: HVF would receive large sums of money from individuals under the guise of benefiting the Democratic party as a whole, but instead would quietly distribute the funds almost in entirety to benefit the Clinton campaign. By transferring money back and forth between committees and eventually filtering it to the Clinton campaign, the HVF essentially laundered funds, says Dan Backer, the attorney who filed the complaint and lawsuit. This specific practice was declared illegal in 2014 by the Supreme Court.

The media has largely ignored Hillary’s $84 million scheme while chasing the breadcrumbs dropped by President Trump.
