Add them to the list of charges please congress...
I dont know much about Campaign Finance Laws.... But here is my opinion and VERY limited Knowledge that comes from it is....
1) How many criminal prosecutions have "EVER" been issued from a campaign Finance Violation.
2) What is At play here. a SIGNED NDA or a non under oath public statement? In which an NDA is disclosed. is the individual HELD to maintain their silence due to the NDA even in a public interview setting. NOW if Trump was under OATH and he lied... then its chargeable. Trump is by legal stance while not under oath can lie with out charges (its immoral) But again WHAT holds heavier penalties. Violating an NDA or not discussing publicly when asked? (look how the courts ruled against Stormy, Violated NDA and now has to pay for Trumps legal fees as well as damges)
3) These Campaign Finances revolves around the commonality of NDA's and "Hush money" The hard part that I am assuming is to prove that this was related to the campaign;
3a) Was it paid by the Campaign? Nope
3b) Was it initiated by the Campaign? Nope
3c) Could it affect his campaign? Possibly. <--- this is the only kicker
4) The next thing in my book if it ever gets to court..... The events and filings. All events happened 2007ish... around 10 years prior to Trumps bid for even a Republican Primary.
4a) Next is when the actual executed NDA's occurred. (I gotta look this up) As I think Daniels, was the only one that went on a talk show WELL before 2016 (2011) But never released it publicly, SO actually his potential infidelity was ALREADY known to the public. So claim in that the info could potential hurt Trumps campaign so he paid a women off to protect his Presidential Bid... is going to be tough
4b) Karen McDougal I dont think is making ANY deal. If anything she fell in love with Trump? So There was no "Drama" to hide the NDA but maintain it. Per the agreement of the NDA to pay her off that was an agreed upon deal by both parties.?
SO Trump is a scumb bag.... He banged women I get it.... Funny part is MANY and most voters knew this. accepted it.... And still voted for him. The courts and the "prosecutor" would need to build a case that the intent to commit a campaign violation was to protect the campaign, which in all honesty... Why protect if the campaign over this if it was known most voters already accepted his infidelities?
