The differing treatments of Clinton and Trump for transactions that are now nearly seven years old has reinvigorated a raging debate about whether America has drifted into a two-tier system of justice rife with seemingly double standards.
Trump's campaign was run in 2016 out of his iconic Trump Tower in Manhattan.
In contrast, Clinton ran her campaign out of a different New York City borough, Brooklyn, but faced no prosecution when her campaign and the Democratic National Committee disguised payments for the opposition research known as the Steele dosser that kicked off the Russia collusion scandal as legal compliance costs for her law firm.
"Blatant double standard against Pres. Trump," former Just the News TV anchor Carrie Sheffield tweeted.
"Hillary Clinton NOT arrested when her campaign paid $113,000 to settle FEC investigation into whether she violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on opposition research that became Steele dossier."
This is also potentially reflective of the famous debate moment from 2016 between Clinton and Trump when Clinton said, "It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country." To which Trump replied, "Because you'd in jail," causing the audience to erupt and moderator Anderson Cooper to admonish them.
"Biden can unify the country by issuing a pardon now. If he fails to do so & I am elected president, I will pardon Trump on Jan. 20, 2025."
