Oh boy, I'd love to see him wiggle out of this one.

    i uh, don't get how this is a crime?

    of all the actual crimes the man has done... drawing up a non-disclosure agreement? :jesse-wtf:

      The honest to god truth is that libs can't actually go after him for the shit he did that was actually really bad because it's shit they do too. (visit Epstein's island, drone strike children, pardon war criminals, privatize and deregulate everything, etc.) Even "Russiagate" was pretty hypocritical given A) The financing of Yeltsin's campaign by the US government under Bill Clinton back in the 90s and B) Biden's son getting a cushy do-nothing job on the board of a Ukrainian gas firm. So they have to go after him for something only Trump would do.

      they're trying to say it was an in-kind campaign contribution in violation of campaign finance laws

      if that sounds flimsy, you're not wrong

        more looking into it, the campaign contribution is in excess of the personal limit, so clearly the only problem here is that a PAC wasn't the distribution mechanism for the money :very-smart:

          I know nothign about the DA beyond what TrueAnon said about him but it sounded to me like he is a true believer who thinks this will both make his political future and fix America

        not at all, but if non-disclosure 'agreements' are constitutional i have no idea what grounds you could prosecute him for in relation to this affair

      I know it's pretty low on the list of terrible things he's done, but bribing a prostitute with your presidential campaign money seems like a crime to me.

        in a sensible country maybe, you're allowed to bribe politicians here if its only funneled through the correct legal fictions lol

          He should've created a PAC for the hush money and then it would be legal.

          That is me just guessing, I don't know about American campaign finance laws lol.
