When you get away with crime for so long it must become a habit.

‘Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide…accus[ed] longtime Trump aide Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking."

‘Delgado…claimed discrimination because she lost her job during pregnancy.

‘… accuses Trump attorney Mark Kasowitz of admitting the campaign selected to move settlements through a law firm to keep a payout back in 2017 in an effort to dodge federal disclosure laws…’

‘She also suspects there is enough “information and reason to believe” that Trump's campaign made payments — specifically $4.1 million that she claims flowed to Kasowitz’s law firm over a two-month period immediately following the November 2020 election.’

Oooooops! Savor it slowly — Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina in March 2018 considered Trump's hush money stunt to be ***illegal***:

“That doesn’t make sense, that a lawyer took out a home equity loan with his own money, paid somebody that he didn’t even know on behalf of a client who, by the way, had the wherewithal and the money to afford $130,000.
And, by the way, didn’t tell the client about the settlement agreement. It’s an illegal agreement. It’s a fraud, if that’s, in fact, the case.”
