Getting the band back together.

Donald Trump’s defenders would love for people to believe that the former president entered into totally normal, by-the-book, run-of-the-mill legal agreements with adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal to purchase their silence, and that he did so in a way that was agreeable and beneficial to all parties.
But that’s not what happened.
Trump risks indictment because, allegedly at his behest, an illegal scheme was undertaken to deceive the public at a critical moment before the 2016 election. That was the purpose of the “hush money” payments—not to enrich the women or settle a personal matter, but, in the words of the man who went to prison for arranging the deals, “for the principal purpose of influencing the election.”

Because...... TRUMP!!!
Why do they keep calling it hush money, and not Extortion or Blackmail?
Yeah, but ... there is no crime.
Yuppers!!

Orange Man 👎
Is biden about to be exposed for influencing his election by covering up his and his son’s criminal activities ?
We fart in your general direction, lowly leftists. You’re gonna lose, just like you have with every other Trump accusation. Use your money to get a clue.
And to go after Trump first give these other corruptocrats a pass.
Narrative ……
I’m certain Hillary would have handled the problem differently.
You mean like when the FBI and its minions called Hunter's laptop from Hell "Russian disinformation" days before the 202 election?
Amanda Carpenter, are you still in love with a married man, Ted Cruz?
“…an illegal scheme was undertaken to deceive the public at a critical moment before the 2016 election“…
Like Hillary and the DNC paying a cut-out law firm for the Steele dossier.
The bullwads chime in yet again.
Except Trump didn’t pay anyone. Cohen did. Trump didn’t even reimburse him. Don’t tell me all the government officials didn’t know this already.
Exactly what it really is.
or the principal purpose of influencing the election.
Sounds like a good approach to take towards leftist presstitutes that distribute deliberate false, misleading and defaming statements using a high capacity transmission device. LOCK THEM UP!!!
Pure BS. So Trump was supposed use his campaign funds rather than his own money to resolve a possible nuisance suit? Should a candidate use campaign funds for $1,000 haircuts or $6,000 suits?
Trump was a celebrity long before he ran for President. He was used to dealing with what amounts to extortion or untrue allegations. For celebrities it is commonplace to dismiss such allegations rather than engage in highly public court cases. This was a personal matter not an illegal campaign contribution. And it certainly is not a felony.
I thought I remembered that Skank.
Lyin’ Teds squeeze.
