NY state legislature has paid plenty to staffers alleging misconduct by legislators. Same in US Congress. And the settlements usually include silence and whatever public record there is, is seldom very public.

And a good part of this is so the legislators will be re-elected. The settlements are from taxpayer money, which is a thousand times worse than “business expenses” and buying up stories.

There is almost never scandal and never prosecution for the settlements.

It almost makes one accept critical theory - that the purpose of laws is to benefit the powerful - them that has, gets.

Thanks for posting this. Reason usually cuts through the hype to get to what counts.

“To convert a hush money payment”. IT IS NOT A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT. IT IS AN EXTORTION PAYMENT. PLEASE CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

LOL. Does anyone here expect the cotton pickin' "jurors" to consider the technical legal details of this case? All of the jurors have already made up their minds. They already made up their minds before they were sworn in and seated. The verdict will not be about facts. The verdict will be based on the tawny jurors' desire to "get whitey".

A jury of peers, I wonder what this means.

I have always thought that it originally meant something different than it does today.

I have been subjected to enough kangaroo courts to understand what the legal extortion racket is all about.

TFLDNR. I only wonder if Cohen was actually ever Trump’s lawyer.
