"Even though I could easily believe that Trump has nailed these two women..."

What? Did you believe the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh? If you didn't, why are you willing to believe that Trump is guilty? What proof is there that anything occurred between him, and these two women?

And what different does it make if Trump told Cohen to pay these women? It was a legal agreement between Cohen and at least Stormy Daniels. Cohen paid her, and Trump says he reimbursed Cohen. Where's the crime? Unlike Edwards, Trump campaign donations, or donations of any kind were not used to pay back Cohen. Trump used his own money. In Edwards' case, he personally solicited money from Bunny Mellon and others in order to keep his mistress silent on their affair, and baby. Yet he was found not guilty of any campaign finance laws. Cohen was Trump's lawyer long before his campaign began. The alleged affairs occurred prior to any thought of his running for office. He was a businessman at the time. He kept Cohen on retainer. I've read he paid him a monthly fee to take care of stuff like this. Even a former FEC official says there is no crime. So where IS the crime?

I agree with you and said as much in one of my other posts on this thread. Since Trump used personally money, it’s not a crime. (IMO) The extension they would try to make is what I mentioned - the fungible nature of money.

As for Trump, he cheated on each of his wives with his next wife. He took Marla Maples on vacation with the family while he was still married to Ivana. It’s well documented and not disputed by Trump. Infidelity isn’t a crime. Hell, you could argue it’s almost a pre-req for office. But I don’t have any time believing that Trump was with these women.

Evidence? No. As I said somewhere in this thread it’s no more than he said/she said. But I’m not so naïve.
