The Perpetual Target: Why Trump Faces Relentless Scrutiny Compared to His Democratic Counterparts

In a political landscape rife with controversy and scandal, it’s essential to take a step back and examine the apparent double standards in how different figures are treated by the system.

The recent ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign violated federal election law to the tune of nearly $6 million brings this issue into sharp focus.

This ruling has reignited debates over why Donald Trump seems to face a relentless barrage of legal challenges and media scrutiny, while similar actions by his Democratic counterparts often receive less attention or consequence.

The Case Against Clinton

The D.C. Circuit Court’s decision highlighted that Clinton’s campaign illegally used the “Correct The Record” PAC for personal campaign activities.

This Super PAC was found to have coordinated its efforts directly with Clinton’s campaign, a clear violation of federal law which prohibits such coordination. The PAC’s expenditures, which included staff salaries, travel expenses, polls, and office rentals, were all classified as “inputs” to unpaid communications over the internet.
