[a fool in paradise]

I thought it was illegal to engage in extortion and blackmail a person.

Here the FBI seem to be pursuing a man who was blackmailed FOR making the payments.

Meanwhile Jesse Jackass stole money from the Rainbow Push foundation to pay hush money to the baby mama of his little bastard and he is a free man who is uncompromised in the public eye as he stokes the fires of race riots.

The media chooses who they will honor and protect.

PS Bill Clinton paid hush money to Monica Lewinsky to get her to lie under oath. He's a free man too.

My thoughts exactly, where are the bribery charges?

Isn't "hush money" bribe money?
