The thing is that the charges are not necessarily political. That's his weak point. The charges are about his financial affairs and fraud.

True it happened before office but I’d still bet you 10 GBP he will get off.

I have no recollection of how Clinton handled hush money.
Paying the hush money isn’t really the issue.
It’s the false accounting for the money that is the problem for Trump.
Strangely Fox News don’t tend to mention that bit.

Exactly. Clinton made a public settlement. It was not hidden away. Trump denied it and falsified the payment.
They are very selective with their news. I think they might be getting old Rupe in a bit of trouble though.

Interesting that included in there is not just the expected hush money to Stormy Daniels and a previous woman, but also to a doorman at Trump Tower. Apparently to buy his silence for an alleged child born outside of his marriage.34 charges though
I was surprised a gagging order was not made against Trump. Although the judge may see things differently, once he realises that during the hearing Don Jnr, doxed his daughter

Still one of the greatest videos of all time.
The timing and phraseology is just perfect. You couldn’t script it better.

So let's parse this out: She tries to extort Trump for "hush money". He pays, which is not a crime. She violates the agreement, going public, and he sues. She looses, and has to pay damages.
But 7 years later, an ambitious and partisan DA, who's policy is to downgrade felonies to misdemeanors, upgrades this misdemeanor to a felony. On a bookkeeping violation.
Really?? I told you so.
