We basically have 45 dead to rights on breaking campaign finance laws (or else Michael Cohen wouldn't be in jail.)

However, people keep treating 45 like he's not a criminal. Having a well known victim testify will change that narrative and put pressure on the puke stonewallers.

Also, you can't rule out Stormy providing new information. In any case, playing by Marquess of Queensbury rules is not going to get us anywhere.
