It is because he has an R after his name, and is not part of the uniparty.

Isn’t there a congressional fund set up to pay out these settlements on a regular basis?

Cost of doing business amongst politicians and whores.

The article is full of holes/falsehoods

There is no question that these deals were illegally made.

FALSE. While there were "deals," The Feds looked at same and its impossible to conclude they were somehow "election related." Its a total stretch. The only "evidence" is Cohen claiming, somehow, they were

But had voters known about Trump’s indiscretions with Daniels and McDougal, Trump may never have become president in 2016.

More Nonsense. The MSM made sure everyone knew McDaniels and Clifton's name in 2016

Also, mentioning Hastert has ZERO connection to this case in any way. Its a total red-herring

Had he used campaign funds, it would have been illegal.

It did not matter for Bill Clinton.

It only mattered for John Edwards when he might have been a challenge to your little tin god BHOII.

You BTW failed so badly with that one they felt it in Antarctica.

Paying someone to shut up never has been a crime.

I know the hush-money thing is supposedly before the 2016 election, but when did these trysts with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal supposedly take place? In the 90’s sometime (I thought)?

"It is because he has an R after his name, and is not part of the uniparty."

Seems similar some religious sects that seek to destroy their heretics. Perhaps by changing his political affiliation back to democrat he can escape the spurious legal problems.

I am more concerned the current usurpers in the Whitehouse are corrupt pedophiles.

No kidding. The author is the same class of people who viewed Clinton’s sexual exploitation of a female intern as “just sex”, and the open lying to the nation, as well as the attempts to buy Lewinsky off to obstruct the investigation as no big deal.

Lewinsky is just lucky she didn’t get simply disappeared.

“deceive the public at a critical moment before the 2016 election”

Let’s see, which is worse...
1. dalliances of a wealthy billionaire with beautiful women he paid to keep quiet
2. the drug-addled spawn of a filthy corrupt politician; son and father paid influence money by Communist China; the spawn documented all of it on a laptop that he forgot at a computer repair shop; the laptop was suppressed for years by the FBI before the 2020 election; 51 “intelligence community” spooks lying and declaring it was Russian disinformation.

Trump risks indictment because, allegedly at his behest, an illegal scheme was undertaken to deceive the public at a critical moment before the 2016 election.

The same can be said about the FIB's scheme to deceive the public by knowingly mischaracterizing the Hunter Biden scandal as "Russian misinformation" at a critical moment before the 2016 election.

The (great) comment on your post #2 suckered me into clicking the article’s link.

Wow!

This whole site is (no other way to accurately describe it) anti-Trump porn. I feel dirty just READING it; I need a shower . . .

So long, Amanda Carpenter; it was good to not know you.
