The core allegation is that this is a felony because Donald Trump lied to cover up a kind of election fraud. He sought to keep his dirty laundry out of public because it threatened to torpedo his presidential campaign. But “election interference” is very hard to sell because Donald Trump himself has been whining about “election interference” for years. And the federal DC case is also about election interference (although of a much more direct and violent sort).
The fraudulent business records covered up “hush money payments” to “porn stars”. So, many in the media call this trial the “hush money payments” trial or just the “hush money” trial, even though paying someone to keep quiet is (bizarrely) legal.
All of these attempts miss the point. It’s not like the MSM is trying to bury the lede (ha, ha), but the entire portent of this trial is what a conviction tells us:
Very, very likely if the public knew about the payments, Hillary Clinton would have won the 2016 presidential election.
That is, this trial almost certainly will prove that Hillary Clinton was (almost certainly) cheated.
Be glad election interference isn't another felony on the list for you today donny.
