3. and once again, imagine this happening with a democratic president.

if obama or biden or whoever paid hush money to conceal an affair, that would be career-ending already for a democrat.
gary hart's career got trashed just for having an affair, daring the press to follow him around, then getting caught. no hush money or anything, just the affair was enough.

but then add hush money.

then add that hush money likely constituted a campaign law violation.

then add that the money may have initially come from someone other than donnie -- cohen, broidy, or... ***the russian mob***????
omg a democrat would be so toast! franken got pushed out for hovering his hands a foot away from an armor-clad woman!

money coming from other sources makes those initial funds bribes and/or illegal excess campaign contributions and/or illegal foreign campaign contributions, and possibly tax fraud (assuming donnie didn't pay taxes on the bribes).


and this isn't even touching on the obstruction of justice or other aspects of russian interference, the soliciting of foreign espionage on americans, etc.!
