“Campaign contribution violations are usually only paid off by fines (as was Obama’s $2 million).”
Unless you’re a republican in the crosshairs. Ask Dinesh D’Souza, or now Donald Trump.
The implications are WAY too far-reaching for the demonrats to seriously consider. There’s the $17 million congress critters paid out that Trump will rail against them for and, aside from that, it implies that anyone in politics who pays ANYONE else to sign an NDA is, therefore, committing a crime. That will uncover nearly every rock in Washington.
