to be clear, trump's crime was not "ticky-tack cheating on his wife" [View all]

It was committing campaign fraud so he could hide his affair from VOTERS and change the outcome of an election.

SO MANY pundits on TV saying "people are not going to like indicting a president for this little tricky tack affair."

HE WAS PAYING FOR STORMY'S SILENCE ON THE EVE OF AN ELECTION, while concurrently smearing Hillary using the FBI on the EVE OF AN ELECTION.

JFC.
