Very similar to how conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was arrested and convicted over $20,000 in campaign finance violations -- and he 'coincidentally' has been highly vocal in his opposition to Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Yet, in Washington State, Tim Sheldon has a illegal PAC called "American Values First" and broke a whole host of campaign finance laws as well as 501(c)4 violations, and yet that guy never saw the inside of a courtroom.

We have the IRS that has targeted groups based solely on political views as well.

When the government attempts to use it's power to shut down voices (regardless of the politics) we're about 1 step away from the worst aspects of Communist China.
