Under What Circumstances Can A Payment Made To An Extortionist Be Considered A Felony? Answer: When You Are Donald Trump

Unable to find evidence that Trump conspired with the Kremlin to win the presidency, or any other crimes, he's planning to use a payment made to an extortionist who threatened to publicize a one-night stand which occurred twelve years ago, to destroy him.

Unlike anyone else who has ever been charged with campaign finance law violations, prosecutors are choosing to treat Trump's potential violation as a felony.

The treatment of Trump's payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal as a felony is without precedent in election history.

What does Mueller call then-candidate Barack Obama's hush payment to his one-time spiritual guide, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? That payment certainly benefitted Obama and influenced an election.

If Trump's hush payments to a porn star and a Playboy model are considered to be campaign finance law violations, how would the payment to Wright be treated?

Then you would claim that Donald Trump and Michael Cohen violated campaign finance laws because they didn't publicly disclose those payments despite the fact that disclosing them would nullify the reason for making them in the first place which was to keep the whole thing secret.

I ask again, how can a victim of extortion be considered a felon? The answer is: When his name is Donald Trump.
