I'm all for seeing trump arrested and all.. .but im so confused...

Hush money isnt illegal... however taking money as a payment to not release personal and damaging information to the public, that is blackmail and IS illegal... so if anything isnt Stormy Daniels the one doing something illegal by blackmailing trump and accepting a pay off to not go public?

@freemo Taking hush money and talking anyway is just breach of contract, a civil matter.

What Trump is indicted for AFAIK isn't public yet, but it seems to be that he misused campaign funds for it and fraudulently described it as legal expenses (as in, a lawyer's paycheck). But maybe we should wait and see what specifically he's indicted for, and what the evidence is?

@bjarne If you take hush money, then its blackmail.. the fact that you release the damning information after the fact doesnt stop it from being blackmail...
