      The problem is that this is not a crime, hush money is perfectly legal. They have booked it in 2017, you know AFTER the election..

      What doesn't make sense is that Cohen has just been named official lawyer to the president or official counsel, then for whatever reason he decides to make a single recording of this issue, where he actually paid with his own money. The only one cohen ever made after he got the promotion of a lifetime. Who screws their boss over after a seat at the whitehouse.

      He would have been jailed for election fraud before he walked in the WH if he has used cash to hush up scandals during an election campaign, hence the setting up of a phony company etc to cover up that fraud.
      Any spending during a campaign must be declared. Rules is rules.

      Creative bookkeeping to cover it up and protect the candidate from negative press that would hurt his run for president IS!
      That’s what the trial is about, not that trump had a 2-1/2 minute encounter with a prostitute nor that he paid her off. It’d help a lot if this particular trial was correctly described but I guess salacious gossip wins every time in godfearing churchgoing USA and “hush money” is much catchier and gets more clicks
