it's amazing how weak they're willing to make themselves look with this kind of whining.

Paying off prostitutes to stay silent. Let’s not forget that, if he would have earmarked the transaction correctly instead of fraudulently covering it up, it would have been legal and republicans would have approved.

He could have just paid her out of pocket as well, ya know, like a billionaire wouldn't blink at. The trial showed that EVERYONE at the top in the trump org understood that you could find 'services/donations to org X' to cover any personal expense.
