Now I get what Mozart was referring to the other day regarding your basic comprehension skills.... I really do get why he posted that.
I love it. You say I have an issue with basic comprehension in the very post where you show your lack of basic comprehension skills.
The report I linked to very clearly and also on multiple occasions references the fact that Obama failed to refund, redesignate, or reattribute the funds, within the stipulated legal 60 day period.
Here is the finding of the FEC.... verbatim ....
Yes when it comes to excess donations over $2300.
But when I said "that document you linked doesn't indicate there was no attempts in real time to correctly report these, only that there was failure to report then within the 48 hour window required" I was clearly referring to the 1,266 cases of donations not being reported in the required 48 hours. These where not excess donations, so there was no requirement to refund, redesignate or reattribute the funds.
Now you tell me Stav, where you don't see the problem here.....and where your statement as I originally said, is absolutely rubbish.
Lastly .... also verbatim from the FEC outcome
LOL you're so sure you got me bad here, but all your doing is doubling down on your own lack of comprehension.
I am illustrating what "Real Time" action actually is... that Stav keeps referencing in his posts
ROFL, "keeps referencing", I had used the term twice and one of them was in a response to your post.
Okay look I'll break this down for you as simply as I can.
Firstly in the case where the Obama For America campaign did not report 1,266 donations over $1,000 within the required 48 hours, we don't know exactly when these donations were actually reported. It could of be mere minutes, days, weeks, months or years after the 48 hour period. The document you linked too doesn't indicate when they were reported.
711 of these donations appear to have the wrong donation date. The donation date given for these 711 donations was when these donations where transferred from one campaign fund to another when they should have been reported when they where first donated. The document doesn't indicate whether the Obama for America campaign was aware of this mistake or if it took any action to correct it.
Now the Obama campaign in 2008 in total took in over 3 million individual donations. Granted many of these would of been before the requirement to report them within 48 hours (i.e if the donations where over $1,000 and made within 20 days of the election) but in the context of the volume of donations the Obama campaign was receiving it appears they where genuinely trying to comply with election requirements and for the vast majority of cases they did. At not point did the FEC accuse them of deliberately misreporting donation.
On to the issue of excess payments. So the FEC concluded from the files submitted to them by the Obama campaign that Obama campaign failed to refund $1,363,529 worth of excess donations within the required 60 day period. They had though refunded $489,616 of that before the FEC started its investigation, but we don't have an exact date for when that was refunded only it was after the 60 day requirement and before the investigation which began 4 years later. They still had to refund $873,913 by the time of FEC issued that document. By all mean's you care fairly criticise the Obama campaign for this failure.
But what you're failing to comprehend is that documents doesn't give any indication how many excess donations the Obama campaign did successfully refund in the required 60 day period. The FEC report looks into campaign violations and doesn't list all the times where a campaign was compliant. For all we know the the Obama campaign could have been compliant with that requirement 90% of the time. We simply don't know. That's why you can't say the document proves the Obama campaign was not trying to correct issues in real time. All it proves is that the failed in their requirements some of the time.
Now if you want to talk about double standards. Care to explain why John McCain was treated the exact same for similar violations.

How come you missed that, did the Trump supporters who are punishing this narrative of double standards omit this little detail?
So just think about if for a moment.
There is no indications that the violations in the Obama 2008 campaign were intentional. There is no indications that donations where misspent or anyone in the campaign made of with any of the donations. There was no indication the Obama campaign conceal information about donations. Obama himself was not directly involved in the campaign violations. John McCain's campaign was treated similarly for the same offences. The overall general consensus from legal experts is that violations coming from the Obama 2008 campaign were indicative of a campaign that was genuinely trying to compile with reporting requirement, for the most part was compliant and that the violation appear to be simply genuine mistakes. The FEC themselves never accused either campaign of intentional violations.
This compares to Trump who was personally found guilty of deliberately committing financial fraud in order for him to unduly influence the 2016 election.
There is no comparison between the two situations.
