Maybe paying hush money to women, while you're campaigning wasn't that smart for a six-time bankrupt running for office, he didn't belong into.

"The problem with all this, according to the Southern District of New York, was that these payments constituted illegal, unreported campaign donations to the Trump campaign under federal campaign finance law. The efforts to silence Daniels and McDougal amounted to an in-kind contribution to Trump, in that they were meant to aid the campaign by preventing the women from speaking in public."

Former President Trump Indicted

There’s really not much to say yet.

Lawfare

Indictment for Trump's false declaration of hush money payments (as "legal expenses") to Stormy Daniels can & will just be an appetizer.

Let the dominoes fall! Let indictments roll!
Put an end to Trump's evasion of accountability!

Did Trump Do Worse Things? Sure. But This Indictment Is a Great Start.

Perhaps this is the beginning of holding Trump accountable for a multitude of crimes.

The New Republic

@jeffjarvis The taboo that had been broken was making a career criminal presidential candidate of what calls itself "GOP", although everyone knew by 2015, that he had been involved in ~3,500 lawsuits, that he had bad-smelling relations with the mobsterous Russian regime, harbored Russian mobsters in Trump Tower, pulled more than questionable deals with Russian oligarchs, bullied, extorted & slandered inner-party opponents & members & supporters of other parties, was only given loans by Deutsche Bank, which was convicted of money-laundering, when no other bank would any longer...

The "GOP" broke a taboo, when it crowned an indefensible criminal individual its king.

P.S.: Other countries of the free world governed by the #RuleOfLaw aren't so scared sh*itless to hold their presidents, prime ministers & other leaders accountable, if they committed crimes. It's worth following their example, for the sake of the credibility of the Rule of Law & its principle, that everyone is & must be equal before the law.
