Remember John Edwards?

/—-/ Congress makes the law to protect themselves. Too bad for Trump who watched Bragg distort the law to prosecute him.
Actually, the law for Congress is more transparent than the one for most of Corporate America.

And understandably so. If you have an accusation of sexual harassment, most companies DON'T broadcast it. Even if they decide to fire people or do settlements, it's not something they make public.

/——/ You’re not getting, or even worse, ignoring the hypocrisy.

No hypocrisy at all.

This is a personnel/employee action, which BY LAW have to be treated with confidentiality.

People aren't being paid "Hush Money", they are having workplace disputes (some of which are sexual harassment claims, most are not) resolved by an arbitrator, with monetary damages being awarded if appropriate.

This is quite different than someone paying hush money to influence an election, and then falsifying documents to hide the payments.

No it isnt if someone was sexually harassed by a member of Congress that is news.

If that is the case, the person has the option of going public.

But again, standard practice is to go through HR to resolve the problem.

Sexual Harassment can cover a wide array of stuff.

From the kinds of things Trump bragged about on the Access Hollywood tape as something as innocuous as commenting on an employee's dress or telling an off-color joke in the office.

/——-/ Wanna bet some Senator or Congressman banging an intern in the cloakroom doesn’t want his constituents to know about it?
Are you that naive?

I'm sure they didn't.

And if they come forward, I'll be the first one to support them, no matter which party the offender belonged to.

None of this excuses what Trump did.

/——/ Oh you mean the misdemeanor bookkeeping error that past the statute of limitations?
 
Hey remember when John Edwards used campaign funds to hide an extra-marital affair with Reille Hunter?

Republicans were fine with prosecuting him for it.


On June 3, 2011, Edwards was indicted by a North Carolina grand jury on six felony charges. He faced a maximum sentence of thirty years in prison and a $1.5 million fine, or a USD250,000 fine and/or five years imprisonment per charge.[108] The indictment came after the failure of intensive negotiations for a plea bargain. The agreement would have meant that Edwards would have been required to plead guilty to three misdemeanor campaign finance law violations, in addition to a six-month prison sentence, but would have allowed Edwards to keep his law license.[109]

After delays, due to Edwards' medical condition, jury selection for the trial began on April 12, 2012. Opening statements began on April 23.[110] A verdict (not guilty on one count and a mistrial on the remaining five) to the trial was reached on May 31, 2012.

So were most Democrats, actually.

It seems to me that if hiding an affair from your cancer-stricken wife is bad, so is hiding an affair from your pregnant wife.
..and Al Franken.

Keep defending your sex criminals in Congress, Simp.
 
Sounds pretty straightfoward to me, and they've sent thousands of people to jail for the same crime.

John Kerry had his MEGA yacht delivered to another state and didn't pay taxes in Massachusetts.
He didn't go to court, no charges. He got caught, exposed, and eventually paid.

See how that works?
 
Oh, we've been over this. Your guy lost. Deal with it.
/——/ And inspite of us “been over this” you still haven’t answered my question. When was Trump convicted of tax fraud and election interference?
