        So specific that you know they strong armed him to get it, but it's not going to work. And Obama did the same thing so don't even dream that we let you continue doing this and letting Liberal criminals like @HillaryClinton off for even worse and far more dangerous crimes.

        How could it not be obvious to everyone what's going here? According to the former chairman of the FEC, Bradley Smith, a hush payment like the one to Stormy Daniels does not constitute a campaign finance violation, even if part of the intent was to avoid negative press- 1/4

        that payment with campaign funds. How ironic, given that using campaign funds as hush money was one of the articles of impeachment in the Watergate scandal, which gave rise to modern campaign-finance law." What CLEARLY happened here is that in order to get a reduced sentence,

        Michael Cohen agreed to plead guilty to a campaign finance violation even though what he did was NOT a campaign finance violation. And it is quite obvious that the only reason they wanted him to do this was because getting Cohen to plead guilty to a campaign finance violation

        gives the appearance that Trump is implicated in that crime. It's the same reason Cohen and others are using the language they are, saying the payments were to "influence the election". The intent is to create the impression of a connection to the so-far nonsense idea that

        Trump colluded with Russia to "influence the election". What they really mean is that Cohen paid someone, in part, NOT to attempt to negatively influence the election and they want people to interpret THAT as being the attempt to influence the election.

        This is totally wrong what the prosecutor did. There is no campaign violation here. Even the head of the FEC stated that.

        You should know better WSJ, this was a script written by the Mueller team, no substance or election fraud, Mueller team is desperate they know they are in trouble because President Trump is exposing the corruption in Washington and many heads are going to roll.

        The notion that Trump cannot be indicted is incorrect. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
