Paying hush money to porn stars is technically a campaign contribution. The amount isn’t really the problem, just as the affair isn’t either —- it’s the fact he hid it. He could have paid all of this with his own money in one lump sum, but then he would have had to report it. Campaign finance law is written specifically for people like Trump. If you have a lot of money and you want to run the country, fine. But we the public need to know how you are financing your campaign. We want to know what was purchased and where the money came from. That’s the ideal. Otherwise, foreign governments and corporations can bankroll a presidential campaign, and then compromise the entire country when their candidate gets elected. None of us want that. Trump obviously couldn’t report this campaign expenditure, because it would have defeated the purpose of a hush money payment. So instead he decided to commit crimes, and those crimes could very well have made a difference in 2016 considering how close it was.
