Explain John Edwards' acquittal, counselor.
I step into this thread with trepidation. The Edwards trial took place here. A client was on the jury. Afterwards, she told me that had Edwards paid out of funds DONATED TO HIS CAMPAIGN, he would have been convicted. Apparently, the judge's instructions on the law were enough to get Edwards off.
My thought is that as long as no money donated to the campaign was used, Trump is within the law. Especially since Trump has done this in the past.
I am very cynical about these things now. The press blows up on something that will "finish" Trump every few days. I did not vote for Trump (because I do not believe he has the character I want in a President), but I am sooooo weary of this crap from the press. Combine that with the double standard you see in everything (if a Dem does it, it's a nothing burger, if a Republican does it, it's jail), I don't know what it would take to convince me Trump had done something truly treasonable or criminal. Shady, yes. I believe the man is shady, but I also think he is a piker in that category alongside most politicians. As I said, I have become very cynical.
