labeling the spending as "legal services", and "legal and compliance consulting" instead of opposition research.

Trump concocted an illegal scheme whereby he grossed up hush money payments to his fixer lawyer to cover taxes, disguised them as legal fees on his books by causing fictitious business records to be created, signing the checks himself, causing fraudulent tax returns to be filed, and all to keep those payments quiet so as not to hurt his Presidential campaign.

Clinton mislabeled properly paid for legal opposition research as legal services. Clinton wasn't even aware of the mislabeling, whereas Trump held a meeting and set the criminal wheels in motion himself.

See the difference?
