I just lost brain cells. It's campaign finance violations, not an affair. Also, the government doesn't just get one shot to convict someone. It's not "the big one" but he's still under threat for other actions he chose to take.
Thank you.. I blame the media for this. Every article and talking head referred to it as the "hush money case" instead of "campaign finance fraud."
I absolutely agree. Please don't take my comment above as my actual opinion on Trump. My point is exactly this - for a Trump supporter it is easy to see this as the "hush money case" as you call it and just state it's not that big of a deal even when he's convicted. And the media is very much to blame for that.
