No I do not get your first point. He paid money to Daniel from Trump organization and did not report it.   He accepted payment for Karen from AMI which is another contribution he did not report.  We will see if he had knowledge it was reportable but choose not to in order to conceal the payments.

While I disagree with NightlyPoe on a lot of things, I have to agree with him that you have completely failed to answer the hypothetical question he's asked you twice now and requested an answer for.  You also haven't explicitly refused to answer and given a reason for doing so.  You've just ignored it even though NightlyPoe made it clear that the point his question was illustrating was a central part of the point he was trying to make. 

Hypothetically, it could be that you think the payment should be illegal both ways, and then his question would be irrelevant, but you haven't said that either.  (If you did say this I would expect you to justify it.) 

Ahhh, ok, I see yours and his point.  No, I do not believe paying hush money is illegal.  What I have been arguing is if he was advised that the payment violated campaign finance laws and did it anyway then he choose to ignore them, felt that he could get away with it and believe those laws do not apply to him.  I do not care if Trump paid hush money to any of these woman.  My point is did he do so knowing that he was violating these laws.  There appear to be evidence that at least he understood that these payments were needed because they pose a risk to the campaign.
