Trump used his own money, and that's admirable. The congressmen should have this money scratched back IMHO.
he didn't use his own money Polish, he used the Trump Corporation's money, through FAKE and Fraudulent invoices to Cohen, who had also set up a FRAUDULENTLY created corporation for the purpose of simply hiding the hush money....
if he had used his Campaign funds to pay off the ladies of the night, it would have been LEGAL, as long as it was reported...
BUT he used TWO Corporations to pay off the women, at the 11th hour of the election, for the main purpose of hiding these indiscretions from the voting public.... corporate campaign donations, even in kind donations, ARE ILLEGAL and break campaign finance laws.
