>>Doesn’t have to be actual campaign money. It can be anything that has value with the intent on helping the campaign or candidate. Paying hush money, even if it is one’s own funds, is a contribution in kind and must be reported.
Don’t see it that way. They threatened Cohen 30 charges of bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to conspire with conspirators for bank fraud, which accounts for a possible maximum of 100,000 years in jail. Then, Hillary’s buddy Lanny Davis saunters in and says, “Plead guilty to a few, and add this charge that you made payments, and it all goes away.”
The point NO ONE PICKED UP IN THE INDICTMENT is that Stormy was about to receive another payment from “another outlet” before Cohen paid off. 10 to 1 that’s David Brock and Media Matters, who probably was going to pay her a lot less, since it was consensual and not very scandalous.
Give it 48 hours and see if you don’t start catching wind about David Brock, and then watch all talk of this disappear.

I don’t see where you get your info. The feds were always interested in determining if Cohen broke federal election laws. I have to really wonder about some of the people President Trump has associated with. He has known and worked with Cohen for years. He selected Sessions to be AG and Rosenstein to be Deputy AG. He selected Wray to be Director of the FBI and selected Geoffrey S. Berman to be the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York who recused himself from the Cohen raid and prosecution.
I and Levin see it this way.

It’s only a plea bargain and nothing else, which was to make the DOJ/Mueller and Lanny Davis happy here for political purposes. No adjudication happened here.
Under Federal campaign laws “campaign expenditure is solely for campaign activity.”
The nondisclosure agreement paying money wasn’t the result of the campaign. The “campaign” being Trump’s presidential election campaign.
