Yes, but the reason he was prosecuted for those activities was his service to then-candidate Trump. His convictions were based on criminal acts prosecuted solely because of his political acts.
Selective prosecution is, of course, a necessary evil because prosecutorial resources are limited, but to so blatantly do so on the basis of politics strikes me as reprehensible. The man has effectively been sentenced to death because he chose to serve Donald Trump.
The resources are the reason why he wasn't prosecuted in 2014. They wanted him, to go after the larger target, Yanukovych. So, instead of learning his lesson, after a close call with the FBI, he goes back to his fraud committing, money laundering ways for someone else. He played right into the candidate's vanity by offering to work for free. That should have been a huge red flag. Great due diligence by the campaign. None of them deserve sympathy.
