Not a bit. I didn't care about Bill getting sucked off either. I love watching the cult wrapped up in his personality being forced to grapple with reality for once though

That goes both ways. I don’t know why you insist on calling Trump supporters a cult yet refuse to call the leftist ideology a religion, when it clearly is one.

So, you have no basis for your claim. Got it.

Are you not aware of the audio tape Cohen surreptitiously took when Trump specifically states that if there is any payment it must be “on the up and up”? Are you aware intent is an element of the alleged crime? Are you aware that if trump entered into similar NDAs prior to becoming a candidate that would be a defense to the allleged crime? Are you aware the alleged violation is that Cohen made a contribution above the limit. That “contribution” was
Reimbursed, yet the SDNY relies on that reimbursement as evidence of wrongdoing? It’s circular and a bootstrap.

You take a statement made by someone the investigators claimed lied to them at every step as truth and satisfaction of required elements by someone else despite all of the evidence to the contrary? That is silly.

What a strange obsession. Reeks of insecurity.

Are you under the impression that people who voted for Trump all thought he was a paragon of sexual virtue?

I'm just fascinated by the "grapple with reality" line.

Like, when I heard the news about Trump fricking Stormy, I was crestfallen to discover he cheats on his wife.

The BMY post was classic NPC behavior. They're so used to their narrative that supposedly Republicans think all their leaders are saints that they can't deviate despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Since much of the money to finance Trump's campaign came from his own packet, how would anyone even be able to classify what was or wasn't campaign funds?

I'm sorry, but this is the kind of shite I (as a conservative) hate about Trump. He is no better than Bill in this arena.

Except that it happened during his campaign for President, making it a campaign violation (hid it from the American people who had the right to know since he was asking for their vote).

Rightees can poo-poo this all they want, but this isn't going away. Hell, even Trump's own team knows he's in trouble. He's having a hell of a time getting someone to agree to being his next chief of staff.

I do. There's a difference between stepping out on your wife because you have a chance to shag Karen McDougal, and face fricking a fat, 20 year old subordinate in the oval office.

Um, no. That isn't how this works.

Courts disagree with you. See John Edwards.

I'll let the wash examiner editorial board, no friend of trump's and run by nevertrumper seth mandel, do the talking:

quote:

The argument is that since the hush money was paid to “influence” the election, it was a campaign expenditure. But by that logic, every dime Chris Christie spent to lose weight before his 2016 run — the diet books, the StairMaster, the bariatric surgery — was a campaign expenditure. If Christie bought a SlimFast shake with his personal money, was he a felon?

Former Federal Election Commissioner Bradley Smith posited another hypothetical: “If a business owner ran for political office and decided to pay bonuses to his employees in the hope that he would get good press and boost his stock as a candidate, would that be a campaign expenditure, payable from campaign funds?”

If a candidate who normally gets a $12 haircut shells out $40 for a better cut, is he a criminal for paying out of his own pocket even though the idea is to look sharp in front of news cameras? If a candidate pays a contested past-due personal bill only to make the headache go away before the debates begin, is he legally required to pay out of his campaign coffers?

Paying such expenses out of campaign funds would probably be unethical and possibly be illegal. If you're damned if you don't and damned if you do, then it's a pretty good sign that either the law is an arse or someone is not reading it honestly.

This just isn’t true. The elements of the crime and the defenses are clear.
