Good point because payments like this are made all the time and FEC regulations allow them. Curious how uncomfortable the DOJ actually is about actually calling them illegal in that they could have indicted Cohen for them, instead of just including them in a plea deal, and then they could have called our PRESIDENT Trump and "unindicted co-conspirator," which they didn't.

“So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution”

Key word here is Dems. The so-called “justice” Department has been an enforcer for the ‘Rats for the last eight years or so.

Its not hush money when the women went to Candidate Trump for the pay off, we call that extortion.

We will go public and tell stories about you and me, some of it true, some of it not true, the media will buy it or you can pay us money and we will go away. Sorry bitches, that is extortion.

Starting to sound more and more like the Nixon playbook every day.

And that makes this smell like Hillary.

Which may be why there's some inkling of her running again.

Campaign contribution to whom? To Democrat and russian mafia extortion? Ha! What a joke.

In that case, what do we make of our reps using hush money to pay off sex harassment issues in congress?

Let it blow it up. Bumbling Mueller is insane

With Trump’s history with women, I bet he has paid off a few others in the past way before he ran for president which would prove it’s just another private transaction.

No one wants to listen or hear it but Cohen has criminally betrayed President Trump. There is no justice.

Bill Clinton had staffers who handled “bimbo erruptions” to silence them.

Campaign contribution? I was unaware that Stormy Daniels campaigned for Trump.

We need to massively turn the heat up on Congress about the secretive payments (with public funds!!!) to settle 150+ sexual harassment cases. Every one of these should be treated as a “campaign” contribution, forced upon the public (not made from candidate’s personal funds). Congress creatures are constantly facing re-election, especially in the House every 2 years.... so any such illicit payments can properly be represented as supporting the “campaign” of the Rep. or Senator responsible.

All those Congresscritters who used public dollars to pay off their staff problems need to be exposed and hounded out of office. BOth parties.... though I will guess there are a lot more ‘Rats than Pubbies involved, but let the chips fall where they may. Expose the cretins!!

If Trump is impeached he should be allowed discovery into the names of the Congressmen and women who caused the $17M payouts from the hush money fund of Congress.
