That's because that site is only listing the civil penalties. That's what the FEC has purview over.  the DoJ has criminal purview over campaign finance violations.  Are you completely ignoring the fact that Cohen has already plead guilty to one count of willfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate or campaign for the "principal purpose of influencing [the] election"?

Here is a link to the documents for the case of The United States of America vs Michael Cohen.

The funny part is all these people who keep saying the hush money isn't a crime definitely not doing their research.  If they really wanted to go the defense route with Trump, they could easily state the President could state he did not know it was a violation of campaign laws, then the burden of proof would drop to Cohen and prosecutors to prove he is lying.  but then again, Trump and his big mouth probably going off script throws John Edwards into the mix making it appear during his interviews he understood where his hush money fell.  I am sure if it stays in the media long enough the idiot would incriminate himself without even knowing it.

I am amazed that something like that is just accepted on all political sides.It should be treated as an issue for politics as a whole and not just against one particular side or person of the political spectrum whenever it fits .
