After Russia Collusion Implodes, Media Want Trump Impeached over ‘Just Sex’
Breitbart, Dec 10, 2018, John Nolte

[...]

Yes, the media have finally faced the fact that there is ZERO evidence of Russian collusion.  Nada. Zippo. What’s more, there is even less evidence the president obstructed justice.

So now that these particular avenues of delivering a presidential coup have gone down in a rolling ball of flaming hot takes, the media will attempt to overturn a presidential election using sex, or, more precisely, a possible campaign finance violation.

Which once again proves hate makes you stupid.   

Apparently, sometime during 2015 or 2016, two horrible women — former Playboy bunny Karen McDougal and porn star Stormy Daniels — demanded and received six figure payouts from Trump. In exchange, they agreed to not go public about alleged extra-marital affairs that happened more than a decade ago.

Nevertheless, the media — the same media that circled the wagons to protect Bill Clinton for three decades, even after he committed perjury and adultery as president, even in the face of a credible rape allegation — want to impeach Trump for failing to report something he did with his own money while he was still a private citizen. 

[...]

But the media still believe Trump should be impeached because all of this perfectly legal behavior might have in some way violated a murky campaign law about reporting money you spend on your own campaign. This, even after John Edwards was not convicted for using his presidential campaign to launder money from others to pay off a pregnant mistress.

Not only that, the media’s stupid gotcha play is based on the highly debatable legal premise that this payoff is only for the purposes of winning the election, when it is obvious these payoffs had plenty to do with matters outside the campaign, like Trump’s marriage, the good opinion of his children, his reputation, and career.

In other words, the central question of legality rests on, “Would Trump have made those payments anyways?” and we know the answer is yes.

FTA:

Let me point out a handful of stubborn facts:
1.Adultery (alleged) is not illegal.
2.Paying hush money is not illegal.
3.Caving to blackmail — which is what this was — is not illegal.
4.Hiding your adultery and hush money payoff from voters is not illegal.
5.Using your own money — which is what Trump did — to pay off a couple of scheming blackmailers is not illegal.

FTA:

If the payments were intended to influence the campaign, then they could very well be illegal.  That is the stubborn fact the author can’t seem to wrap his mind around.

Explain John Edwards' not guilty verdict, "counselor".
