The premise:
Michael Cohen pays off Stormy Daniels so she won't tell the world about banging Daddy.
Cohen submits the payment as an expense and gets reimbursed.
Trump may or may not have known what the reimbursed expense was really for.
By paying Stormy Daniels for silence, Cohen was trying to influence the outcome of the election.
If Trump knew all about it, he is guilty at least of conspiracy.
No Russians, and it's a big stretch because they all trade in favors and pay off people to keep quiet, and it has never been considered "influencing the outcome of an election" before, but that appears to be where Mueller is going.
Honestly, I doubt anyone besides the usual cast of characters would have cared about Trump hitting that. It's not like Trump wasn't a known horndog, well documented in the tabloids for the last 30 years. Had Stormy spilled the beans, we'd have been like, so? It just seems odd that Trump would have wanted to buy the silence of that one woman.
PS, breaking news, Duncan Hunter and his wife have just been indicted for financial hanky panky. Which has nothing to do with the topic, but it just came on Fox.
