Looking at the continual stream of liberal threads on the Stormy Daniels scandal, one wonders if liberals realize that Daniels' alleged hookup with Trump supposedly occurred in 2006, 12 years ago, and that Cohen's payoff to her occurred in 2016, 10 years after the alleged encounter and long before Donald Trump even ran for president?
The payoff is the problem. The payoff took place in the heart of the campaign.
So what??? SO what??? It's not illegal to pay a person in a settlement to get them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Happens quite a lot. There's nothing illegal about it.
However, putting Top Secret and Special Access information on an unsecured server in your basement is very illegal. But, yeah, you don't care about that, right?
You are right, 99% of the time it is not illegal to pay a person in a settlement to get them to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but when it is done as part of a Presidential campaign and the funds are not reported, then it is a problem.
Actually I did care about that greatly Hillary doing that, one of the many reasons I would never vote for Hillary. I spent many years as a Secondary Control Point Custodian while in the Corps and care about classified rules.
But, you see that is the difference between us, I care about illegal stuff when both sides do it, not just one.
