The fact that Donald Trump once screwed a porn star might be the one thing....

1. in this case, it really is not about the sex, it's about the cover-up.

well, the fact that stormy's an adult entertainer, particularly one with an interesting stage name, certainly helps add to the media attention.

but in and of itself, it was a consensual affair, unrelated to a workplace, no harassment allegations, etc. cheating on his wife, sure, but nothing illegal in and of itself.


instead it was donnie's inept and heavy-handed way of trying to manage his image by lying about everything, paying others to preserve his image, probably laundering money from russians, probably accepting bribes from backers (cohen and/or broidy and/or russians), and very likely ignoring laws (campaign finance, disclosure, and maybe even tax law).

and then, of course, structuring the money movements and documents so as to try to obscure the truth.
