Barack Obama's presidential campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating federal disclosure laws, Politico reports.
An FEC audit of Obama for America's 2008 records found the committee failed to disclose millions of dollars in contributions and dragged its feet in refunding millions more in excess contributions.
The resulting fine, one of the largest ever handed down by the FEC, is the result of a failure to disclose or improperly disclosing thousands of contributions to Obama for America during the then-senator's 2008 presidential run, documents show.

So as we have been told over and over again, the Stormy Daniels situation is a big deal.
Not because trump had sex with her 10 years before being in office, but because his payment to her may have violated campaign finance laws.
I am all for investigating to see if any laws were broke.
My question is, how big of a deal are violating campaign finance laws?
Should he be impeached if he broke them?
Should his lawyers office have been raided over this?
Should the media be rabid in covering this?
I just wanted to see what people’s opinions were on how serious violations of campaign finance law are.

Yes but what should that punishment be is my question?
Should impeachment be in the table?
Sure.
If Trump broke the law, why give him a pass?

impeachment is political not criminal,
congress can impeach for whatever they vote to be "high crimes and misdomeaners"
