Again, John Edwards' case is way beyond what Trump is alleged to have done. Edwards was ussing campaign money to pay for his trips around the country to have an extended affair with a female documentary filmmaker, who initially was filming Edwards' campaign. While his wife was dying of cancer.

The fact that a trial couldn't prove the far more blatant case of Edwards' criminality, speaks of howw much less likely it is that any case can be made aagainst Trump.

In the case of Trump, he used his own money, not campaign funds. And again, many of the Democrats in the House are guilty of the same and worse of what they are trying to allege against Trump. The hypocrisy of Democrats just piles on high. As does their audacity.



I remember Cohen complaining he had to pay Stormy out of his own pocket and the National Enquirer just fessed up about paying another woman hush money for Trump. And who really thinks Trump wouldn't leave a wife that was dying of cancer? He certainly has no problem fucking other women while he has a wife recuperating from giving birth.


It's called a non-disclosure agreement and is not illegal. Especially since it was reimbursed with Trump's own money and not with campaign funds (as John Edwards was guilty of.) Stormy Daniels entered the agreement willingly, and then broke her agreement.
It is also not proven that Trump ever actually had an affair with Stormy Daniels, or if she was just shaking him down for money.

It's also a huge (and vicious) leap to assume that Trump would abandon his wife if she was dying of cancer. There is nothing to support that assumption. This is the mother of his son. Even his first wife Ivanka he remains close friends with, despite their divorce.

Even in the case of John McCain, who I'm not the biggest fan of, when he divorced his first wife, he continued to provide for her financially for decades after. I give him that much credit. Not all men abandon their dying wives. And there's certainly no proof Trump would. Quite the contrary, Trump is loyal to a fault, and remains loyal even to staffers who have embarassed him politically. He was loyal to Cohen right up to the point Cohen betrayed him.
