10. Trump probably never directly said "Bribe Daniels"

Like he never directly said "Invade the Capital".

Cohen paid Daniels with his own funds and submitted invoices w/ that expense to the Trump Org, who reimbursed him. They were probably marked something innocuous, like "subconsultant".

Trump just signed checks like he does every month, "trusting" that his employees had vetted the invoices. He knew, Weisselberg knew, Cohen knew, but no one put anything in writing.

Now it just looks petty to go after him, I guess. "America wants to move on", "Melania moved on, why can't you", etc.
