Last friday, Donald Trump was directly implicated in felony activity when Michael Cohen alleged that he made the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump to aid the Donald Trump campaign on Wednesday of this week, the president was implicated in yet another felony. That felony happens to be the hush money payment to playboy playmate Karen McDougall, which was also made before the 2016 election in an attempt to not let that story leak out and affect the campaign of Donald Trump. And we know that because of court filings that took place on Wednesday in the southern district of New York. Here's the story, uh, American media incorporated, which is the parent company of National Enquirer run by David Pecker, a good friend of Donald Trump. They admitted in those filings that they paid Karen McDougall, the hush money payment, 150,000, um, to keep her quiet so that she didn't come forward with her story and derailed Donald Trump's campaign for president.

They admitted that the payment was directly made so that it would influence the 2016 election by not having this story released. That is without question, by definition and in kind campaign contribution, so that looks bad for the American media, a company, right? Well actually it doesn't because see, they've been given immunity because of their cooperation with the southern district of New York because they're giving a lot of valuable information including information about this payment, which they also say, and this is the part that's bad for Trump, they made in coordination with the Trump campaign that directly ties in Donald Trump. Here's why. As I mentioned, David Packer, the guy that runs this company is a good personal friend of Donald Trump. He knows Donald Trump personally. There is no way that these two men did not discuss this before it took place, and now we have the president directly implicated in his second felony that occurred before the election, but that's the second one in seven days, and let's keep in mind something a lot more important here.

This has nothing to do with anything that Miller's investigating. That's what's so awesome about this. These two violations here, these campaign finance violation, felonies by the president, would ordinarily be enough to derail somebody's presidential campaign and get impeached. Unfortunately, we have too many Republicans right now in the Senate who keep telling us that. I don't care if the president broke the law. I, it's literally what Orrin Hatch said a few days ago. I don't care. I don't care. He's good for Republican policies. Rand Paul tried to make excuses for it. Uh, Kevin McCarthy and the House of Representatives made excuses for it. He said, Oh, if campaign finance violations are against the law, than half of my caucus would be gone. Good. If people are breaking the law, they should face the consequences, right? I mean, aren't you the party of law and order, aren't you? The guys who say were Super Patriots and we love this country and part of loving the country is respecting the laws.
