45. The fact of the payment has broader implications

Fri Mar 16, 2018, 10:22 AM

What sort of sex they had, how long they had it, etc., is not of any particular consequence.

The payment? Sure, that may be an illegal campaign violation. How the payment was arranged may involve other sorts of issues like money laundering.

But the fact of the payment is not a disputed issue in the Daniels suit.

People are acting as if Daniels is some kind of hero in all of this.

Here's a simple life lesson - if you want to speak publicly about something, then don't take $130k not to speak publicly about something. It's a simple principle to follow.
