Not trying to be a wise-azz, asking a sincere question.
It's not a crime for an average Joe to write a big check to make something embarrassing go away, right? Clinton wrote a big fat check to one of his accusers.
But it might be a crime for Trump to do it, because he was campaigning? If part of his motive was making this skank keep quiet during the run-up to the election, that's the crime? But it would have been OK if he did it the day after the election?
Doesn't every commercial every candidate releases, attempt to influence the outcome of an election?
