FELONY #1? Hillary For Nevada worker Henry Engelstein told potential voters, while registering them, that he was seeking electoral support for Clinton.
FELONY #2? Engelstein denigrates Trump in the video in Spanish, calling the Republican front-runner 'Un payaso muy grande' (a giant clown).
[From article]
A Hillary Clinton campaign worker has been caught on film apparently committing a felony by advising Las Vegas Hispanics how to vote while he is helping them register.
Hidden camera footage shows Henry Engelstein, identified as a campaign 'fellow,' reeling in Spanish-speaking Nevadans on a Las Vegas street with a comical picture of Donald Trump on his smartphone.
'THIS IS MY RESTING B**CH FACE,' the photo's caption reads, meme-style.
'Un payaso muy grande, si!' Engelstein tells passers-by. ('Yes! A giant clown!') In the video, shown to DailyMail.com exclusively by the conservative group Project Veritas Action, he boasts that Latinos' anger against the billionaire Republican front-runner is ample motivation for them to register as voters.

At the same time, Engelstein hammers home his enthusiasm for the former secretary of state, telling them: 'Hillary Clinton es muy bueno. Nosotros trabajando para la campaña de Hillary aquí en Las Vegas. Necesito el apoyo de la gente en la comunidad.'
In English, he is saying: 'Hillary Clinton is very good. We are working for Hillary's campaign here in Las Vegas. I need the support of people in the community.'
The video also shows Engelstein appearing excited by his success rate, and placing a phone call to a colleague in search of reinforcements.
'Come here. Come here,' he says in English. 'There's like hundreds and hundreds of people and I just flash a picture of Donald Trump on my phone and they all sign up.'
'[I've] literally just been flashing this picture,' Englestein tells fellow Clinton campaign worker Phillip Kim when he arrives, showing off the 'B**CH FACE' meme of Trump.
James O'Keefe, the swashbuckling right-winger known for exposing the sale of 'Obamaphones' in Cleveland and bringing down the liberal organizing group ACORN with a prostitution sting, told DailyMail.com that his organization is engaged in a full-court Clinton press.

Nevada law makes advocating for or against a candidate during the voter-registration process a Class E felony.
[. . .]
Section 10 of Nevada Revised Statute 293, Section 505 prohibits any 'person assisting a voter' with registration from 'solicit[ing] a vote for or against a particular ... candidate' or speaking with them in any way about whom to vote for.
Penalties include a jail term of between 1 and 4 years.
Engelstein couldn't be reached on Wednesday.
A Clinton campaign spokesman initially declined to comment without seeing the video footage in advance.
