[I]Let’s contrast this with what happened to former Democratic candidate for president, John Edwards,...
The difference is that D'Souza pleaded guilty and Edwards fought his charges in court and was found innocent on one charge and a mistrial was declared for all the other charges. D'Souza has that choice and chose not to take it. We'll see what happens to Trump and Cohen for their apparent campaign finance crimes.

In any event, you always resort to whataboutism when you have no real argument. By your logic, all wife-murderers should not be prosecuted because OJ Simpson got away with it.
