honestly I think "hush money" is more powerful for normies understanding the narrative. "Paying off a porn star you had an affair with" is something that SOUNDS like it'd be illegal even tho its not, while "using business funds to pay campaign expenses" sounds like a mixup even tho it's very illegal

Again, Republicans know how to do this really well! The narrative they created around Bill Clinton's impeachment wasn't that he lied under oath, although those were the technical charges. It's that he had an affair with a young intern. Guess which one stuck?

I don't know that we need to quibble over the details. Seems fairly straightforward to say he paid off a porn star to illegally influence an election.

Classic case of confusing the legal and the PR strategy. Use the legal framing for court, use the emotionally salient framing for the news.

It continues to be very strange that what occurred between Stormy Daniels and DJT is referred to as an "affair" when it was, at best, an appointment. From the description I read, it was more like a brief kidnapping.
