Dear news media, This possible indictment IS a big deal. It's not a false FEC filing, or a business records issue. It is a presidential candidate defrauding the American voters. No one knows if the discloser of trumps affair would have eroded his support enough to put Hillary in the White house. We will never know that, but we do know that trump thought it would, and illegally bought off her silence, so he could win. He cheated the American people, and the harm was done to us all.

As an aside, I think she should have bridled him and ridden him around a few of his golf courses during their pre-presidential romps. The country would have been better off for it.

(2,357 posts)to be. Didn't read Daniels' book, but always thought an affair at least suggested a few hook-ups, not just a one-night stand.
According to Wikipedia:
In a March 25, 2018, interview with 60 Minutes, Daniels said that she and Trump had sex once, and that later she had been threatened in front of her infant daughter and felt pressured to later sign a non-disclosure agreement.[59][60]
May turn out to be an expensive bit of fun for the Orange cretin.
