Paying hush money out of your own pocket to hookers is a crime?

Misleading title. How about:

Utah senator says he regrets his ‘irresponsible’ Trump remarks [Orrin Hatch]

At first I thought Hatch was dumping on Trump.

I catch a minute of cnn occasionally as I flip through channels. They are more unhinged every day.
It is beyond me why anyone would talk to them.

Hatch needs to understand that Trump is the Peope’s president, and as such Hatch’s sole loyalty should be to him.

Hatch owes no loyalty to the treasonous CNN.

I’ve said it before, but I will never, ever vote for a “Politician” to be President.

DC corrupts and castrates everyone it ensures.

Trump is the perfect president in the ideal of our founders, bold, brave , patriotic, beholden to no special interest. A true street fighter who will fight punch-by-punch against anyone working against the interests of the American people.

The Foumders would be absolutely disgusted with our Congress.
