Doesn't Trump paying her $130,000 over a ten year old one night stand without her asking for it strike you as implausible?
Why do you suppose she owes Trump $600,000 in legal fees?

Ed,
Can you cite any evidence for Stormy Daniels asking for the hush
money? Trump offered it to her without her asking for it.
Aloha,

are exposed.

Ed,
I don't know why you think this happened 18 years ago. It
happened before the 2016 election. So that's less than 10
years ago. I'm talking about when the hush money was paid.
There's no evidence that Stormy Daniels blackmailed Trump.

prove that someone had private sex with another person 18
years ago, a birth?
Aside from Mrs. Trump, who cares?? How many people
would not vote for a candidate based on a prostitute's
claim that she had sex with him once, 18 years ago?
She blackmailed him.? It's more plausible that the
accusation would destroy his marriage.

Ed,
Trump though that his adultery was immoral and
that it would keep some people from voting for
him. That's why he paid Stormy to keep quiet about
it. Then he falsified records to try and hide the
hush money payments. That was both illegal and
immoral.

How does anyone know what
his motive was, and whether he committed adultery
(neither illegal nor unusual with presidential
candidates), or if do, shat his family thought
about it.? As for euphemistic journal entries, for
blackmail or bribery, those aren't unprecedented,
either.? Look up "facilitation payments," for
example.

David,
There's nothing morally neutral about
covering up adultery to influence the
outcome of a U.S. election. It is purely
morally bad. I also disagree that law and
justice have nothing in common. They have
a lot in common.

Whether a thought or an action is judged morally neutral or good or bad is up to one's understanding of morality, which, especially in these angry times, is practically up for grabs. Today, people are likely to believe whatever their information sources tell them is true. As for law, I think we'd agree that law and justice have nothing inherently in common.

Laws are likely to be sticks for tripping up people and beating them. The distinction between laws for protecting people from murderers and laws written to dispose of enemies is not always clear. Both exist, which is one reason why the legal system is a nasty thing to be caught up in. Moral innocence and legal guilt are likely to be the same thing.
