There is no precedent for any of the charges, and I wouldn't trust my mother-in-law's cat on ice as thin as this case is against Trump...and I hate that stupid cat.

John Edwards in 2011, less than 12 years ago? He was accused of the same thing. Paying off his mistress, during the 2008 Presidential campaign to keep it quite. He actually fathered a child with his mistress. I believe he was still a US Senator at the time of the affair. There were other charges included in the indictment relating to receiving donations exceeding limits set forth by the Federal Election Act, however, the main premise of the indictment was the hush money paid to Rielle Hunter.

Were people loosing their minds when Edwards got indicted? Did anybody really care? After all the prosecutor, George Holding, was Republican. Was it petty politics then? The indictment came in 2011 long after the 2008 race was over and done so did it even matter? Was the North Carolina AG just trying to hold everyone accountable regardless of political status? If Trump would have decided not to run in 2024 would he have been indicted? Lots of questions I don't have the answers to. Just thinking out loud about a very similar precedent in very recent times. In the end Edwards was found not guilty on one count and the jury deadlocked on the other five because the prosecution could not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Trump is innocent until proven otherwise. However, I think it will be very easy to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in Manhattan, NY.

Isn’t there a punishment for taking bribes?

There is nothing illegal about hush money per se. If the information being kept secret (a sexual affair) is not illegal then its A OK. However in this case since it involves Federal election laws and was paid to her from an "anonymous" LLC created by Michael Cohen and many other factors in this case it becomes very messy to determine if it was illegal or not on her end. My guess is she will never be investigated. If your trying to "get Trump" and she is a "credible witness" how would it look if she was indicted over the very same thing Trump is being tried for? What a complete clown show.....

she said it never happened on the stand. if she now says it did, she will be guilty of perjury. 

LOL say what? On March 6th, 2018 she sued Trump and Essential Consultants LLC (the company Cohen created and paid Daniels through) in an attempt to nullify the NDA since Trump never signed it. She said she began an intimate relationship with Trump in 2006 that ended a year later. She admitted to receiving $130k from Cohen (Essential Consultants LLC) in exchange for her silence. The NDA and other correspondence were admitted as evidence. Other pertinent evidence in that suit was Cohen's use of his Trump Organization email to arrange the wire transfer connected to the NDA.  I'm guessing the prosecutor here is trying to prove Trump did in fact know about it and authorize it. They claim there is a mountain of evidence to suggest that is the case. Plus now there is this Karen McDougal woman, who was supposedly paid off as well. I think Cohen admitted to paying her off as well in his trial.

Maybe as part of the grand jury investigation more egregious violations of election laws were uncovered. Maybe the knowledge of hush monies being paid are just one of their charges against Trump. Who knows. We will just have to wait and see.

when you are up to your armpits in alligators,

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

It makes me sad that our country will waste all this money to try to get something on Trump so it ruins his chances of re-election but I guess when it’s not your money your spending and you want to keep you high paying public servant job I guess burning through tax payers money really don’t bother you
