Sure they’re believable. So what? Lots of politicians, celebrities and even business leaders pay hush money to make accusers go away. They pay it even when the accusations are not true. Its often just easier to pay than it is to try to prove a negative.

Paying an accuser to simply go away is not a campaign finance violation nor is it illegal. The Obama administration already tried to prosecute John Edwards for this very thing under this very theory. The courts shot them down.

Doesn’t Congress have a slush fund specifically for that purpose?

Yes. I don't think anybody but Leftist Democrats and Never Trumper RINO Establishment types are going to give this cockamamie theory that it was a campaign finance violation any credence....especially when the courts have already rejected precisely this argument before and the Federal Election Commission already said this is not a violation.

Daniels admitted in court that she lied
Court ruled Daniels had to pay Trump 300K in damages
Daniels lawyer was disbarred sent to prison for fraud.

The Leftist “The Hill” citing a leftist poll to push an agenda. Yup, that’s something we should really be concerned about.

There’s people who actually believe Biden got 81,000,000 people to vote for him..

Wether or not the money was paid was never in question, it was admitted to a long time ago and it was NEVER A CRIME.

Bingo. Trying to say it was a campaign expense is the flimsiest legal argument ever. If it were not New York he would be pulled from office and probably have his license suspended for such a stunt. Instead, he'll probably be voted in to a higher office for going after orange man. After all, most sane New Yorkers have already left the State.

i find it difficult to believe he put any part of his body near her, IF he’s a germaphobe as folks claim.

So, she owes Trump more than Trump paid Cohen?

Some would say she is getting screwed by lawyers and judges ..

They forgot to ask whether people thought Bragg’s prosecution was 100% political and that no one but Trump would be charged with this.

just remember that baby voiced lieing woman at the kavanaugh proceedings. that's why you pay off people like stormy...cuz they lie and are a pain.

wonder how much baby voice was paid to perjure herself....and by who...and with what funds.

Which is actually a little suspicious. I have a very close relative that wanted to adopt a girl (they only had boys) and she was forced to adopt one that was 12 (and they are already having problems with her behavior) as the wait for an American born infant is incredibly long.

That Buttigieg and his guy got TWIN infants is something like winning a lottery.

Ahh surely there isn’t some corruption or graft involved, allowing them to have choice selection…why never, not with a democratic politician “GASP” 🤔🙀🫤 !

I believe he paid her the money to keep her quiet that’s obvious and I don’t think he denies it. So the poll is nonsense and shows that people don’t even know what crazy made up crime he’s about to be charged with.

Of course, if the parties were reversed, the poll question would be if you support Republican Bragg’s prosecution of a former democratic President’s private consensual affairs from decades in the past.

“That might make him a creep…”

We’ve got multiple female neighbors who think that is the worst sin of all. If you ask them what they thought of no new wars, respect on the international stage, energy independence, low energy price, low inflation, and a stable and predictable business climate for investment they respond with “He said ‘grab ‘‘em by the pussy.’”
