That’s the kind of bullsh!t that has motivated me to swear off ever voting for a lawyer for public office again.
Those laws are so convoluted and selective that they don’t stand up to any objective scrutiny. How is it that paying “hush money” to protect your public image is illegal, but paying a PR director, a wardrobe consultant, and a publicist for the same ‘effing reason is perfectly fine?
Don’t swear off voting. That solves nothing. Everyone that is able to should always vote. Even those we disagree with. Those that will vote for Trump in the end I will hold no ill will for. You are doing what you feel is right. You are correct about convoluted laws. I think the case is based on if it was construed as a campaign contribution or such. Typically it’s a fine and everyone moves on. This one is massaged up to a felony which I don’t think will hold up in court. Laws should be written in such a way an 8th grader can understand.
