The technicality being the embarrassment of bringing such an absurd and baseless charge. Negotiating a non-disclosure agreement with a private individual over some alleged personal sexual matter is not a "campaign contribution".  The FEC has been clear on that since the Edwards Scandal. And the Edwards situation was a far closer call. There it was actually rich Democratic Donors who were paying the woman off. You could make the argument why, other than politics, would a rich Democratic Donor want to pay off John Edward's mistress? And the whole point of campaign finance laws is to prevent rich mega donors from making donations in excess of the stated limits And still, the FEC said not a donation. With Trump, it was himself making the payment, so the idea he is doing it for personal and not political reasons is on infinitely stronger footing. And individuals can make unlimited contributions to their own campaign so the "skirting maximum donation limits" doesn't even come in to play. 

 

With the Edwards situation, a reasonably strong case could be made that he violated the spirit, though not the letter of the law. Trump violated neither the spirit nor the letter. 

I believe that is one tiny issue in the or so investigations, and unfortunately it’s up to the judge and jury to determine guilt.  Edwards?  Showing your age there.  What about Hillary?  At least that’s more current ????

You must understand The left and haters of everything Trump have put their heart and sole and lies into the big Mueller Investigation aka Russian Interference by Trump and his campaign . 

Mr. Trump just passed the gold standard of mother investigations over 21/2 years of harassment ! No collusion and no Americans or his people have been indicted for this Russian non sense!

 

The investigation was 22 months, about half the time of the Whitewater investigation.  I don't know if Whitewater set the gold standard for Presidential harassment, but it easily exceeded the Mueller investigation in cost and pointlessness.

 

Wouldn't it be fun to apply the Hillary standard to Trump and keep investigating him for the same thing over and over?

Don't be silly.   With Trump there is no need to re-investigate.   He just keeps giving more and more material in need of investigation.

Silence!

Yes, I know, this is the world these days.

It's big news when he DOESN'T emit a tweet storm.

After claiming ‘no collusion’ at least 231 times, Trump says nothing about the end of the Mueller investigation

 

 

On Friday night, just hours after Robert S. Mueller III delivered his report to Attorney General William P. Barr, President Trump got up to give a speech.

Addressing guests at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, during a Republican fundraiser that was closed to the media, Trump thanked Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi and first lady Melania Trump.

Notably absent from Trump’s brief remarks: any mention of Mueller or collusion.

Can I get a nothing burger no sauce with a side of silence?

The only ‘sauce’ going with Trump’s silence on this is the smelly brown stuff.

 

But then it might be to your liking.

 

CULT45 has a high tolerance for its smell.

So any investigation can only be legit if it finds him guilty right?

 

Sort of pointless having an investigation in the first place, isn't it?

quite strange that some of his cronies and underlings should be found guilty of various crimes, yet the person to whom they reported seems at the moment to be free of any blame.

 

That's not to say that he is not blameless because as the old saying goes, "the buck stops here" and a lot of this crap by his cronies and "best people" clearly leads back to him.

 

Having comprehension difficulties are you???

I've just read a tweet paraphrasing Churchill that sums it all up: "Never was so much written by so many about a document so few have actually read"
