The funny part is all these people who keep saying the hush money isn't a crime definitely not doing their research. If they really wanted to go the defense route with Trump, they could easily state the President could state he did not know it was a violation of campaign laws, then the burden of proof would drop to Cohen and prosecutors to prove he is lying. but then again, Trump and his big mouth probably going off script throws John Edwards into the mix making it appear during his interviews he understood where his hush money fell. I am sure if it stays in the media long enough the idiot would incriminate himself without even knowing it. |
Paying Hush money isn't a crime. Non-disclosure agreements are made all the time. But if campaign money was used on a personal expense such as hush money then it could potentially be considered a crime. Again, that's going to be near impossible to prove since Trump used so much of his own money on the campaign. I'm not suggesting Trump isn't going to go down for something by the end of this. I just don't see this as being a safe bet to do so. It's very unlikely. His biggest risk remains testifying under oath and possibly purgering himself.
