I also have mentioned this as well. Pence will do in a pinch ...with a Democratic House and it isn't anywhere as bad as continuing the current horror show.

It occurred to me that this is his out. This is the way out where he can continue to play the victim of the mean ol' system without having to end up under the continued scrutiny that might reveal some legitimate wrong doing that extends beyond his presidency. That maybe Giuliani negotiating an end to the Mueller probe might take the form of helping Trump 'fall on his sword' (nope...nope that colloquialism is gross in context...) for the Daniels thing so that the Mueller thing never reaches him. He goes out on something like this, talks about how the system is rigged and they never found 'collusion' and retires to what he initially planned before he figured out he could win this thing.

No one really cares that he had sex. Actually, the less we can think about that specifically the better. He has had three wives and during the campaign no less managed to have evidence of him bragging about sexual assault. He talked on radio about barging into dressing rooms during beauty shows and when women complained that he barged into dressing rooms during beauty shows it was met with a shrug by his supporters.
Like with Clinton, it's not about the sex. We know that Trump is a horn dog and we had a referendum on it and enough people decided that they didn't give a shit.
But apparently Trump and Cohen thought this, for some reason, would be too much during the election and therefore Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to shut the fuck up about it so it wouldn't effect the campaign.
If it was a campaign expense, money spent expressly for the campaign, then that falls under campaign finance laws where it would be illegal.
This is still getting Capone on tax evasion. This is an out of nowhere wound that they can't seem to help picking at. No one was investigating his adventures in dick. This is just regular ass out of control Donald.

From a quick glance over the article nothing seems to be illegal about this.
Today’s order also includes language further undermining the Johnson Amendment, offering added protections for “any individual, house of worship, or other religious organization” who make political statements from any “action that makes unavailable or denies any tax deduction, exemption, credit, or benefit.”

But every time I've brought that up I always get told that just means the government cannot stop you forming a religious movement. I am not sure where that idea comes from.

Is this the point we're at? The sitting US president needs to commit a crime to be criticised for something?
