Sort of like a political candidate confronting the question of whether to declare something a “campaign expenditure”! Say no, you can be indicted. Say yes, you can be indicted (for spending campaign money on yourself).

It seems like a small change, but we don’t have to guess. The migrants have very good information on their chances of getting in. If those chances go down, fewer will come. If they are unaffected, people will keep coming to game the asylum system. Proof in pudding.

RIght. But it may have badly undermined prosecution. The sex details were personally, primally humiliating–showing Trump had ample reason to want Stormy to stay silent even if he wasn’t running for office.
