Why is hush money illegal?

[bripat9643]

No it's not. Had the porn star hooker story been told to the public a week before the election Trumps chances of becoming president would have dwindled.

Yes it is, turd. The political consequences are irrelevent.

Having an affair is immoral not illegal paying hush money to keep it quiet is sleazy and common among people of wealth who don’t want embarrassing things made public. Historically if criminal it has been a misdemeanor not the overhyped BS we are seeing now.

You really should just shut the fuck up.

In the real-world, NDA and Non-Competes are very common.

If a construction worker goes into (for example) a Lab or a software company, they have to sign an NDA stating that they will never discuss what they saw.
These places have trade secrets that they don't want made public knowledge.

You're right. NDA's and Non Competes are very common in the business world. However, there is a contract stating that the person is receiving whatever benefits they get (money in most cases, continued employment in others), and what they aren't supposed to talk about.

There was no such contract between Trump and Ms. Daniels, which is why it is considered hush money, and the circumstances under which it was paid are illegal.

So what if you're Jewish? There were lots of Jewish people who turned over or squealed on their fellow Jews to the Nazis during WWII. What you are or aren't has little to do with it, as your actions are what you are being held to account for.

That is her point regarding Soros dickhead.

Mentioning you have an NDA is probably violating the terms of the NDA.

that is funny, It is not a big deal. I sign NDA in all of my jobs after I finished school. That is a common practice.

IKR? There are thousands of companies that have paid for a NDA for hundreds of thousands of people. No big secret.

I have to sign one every time I get a new job.

Pay attention to the idiocy that candy is typing.

FOCUS.

Why is a married man involved with a woman of such ill repute? What gives there?

I don't approve of that but having an affair is not a criminal act.

 

[Catsnmeters]

OMG that you aren't a fucking left-wing loser lunatic.

What are you babbling about?

FFS, if you have something to say about hush money payments, then out with it.

Stop hiding behind pointless ad hominem.

It's called "hush money" because people in the media are all leftwingers, and that's the only reason. "hush money" is not a legal term, jackass.

Actually, it is a term that comes up in legal proceedings. Here's the definition and why it is used. Educate yourself jackass.

Hush Money Law and Legal Definition | USLegal, Inc.

Hush money is a bribe given to keep something secret. It can be a bribe to assure silence of the receiver. Hush money can be defined as money paid to a person to keep him/her from telling something

And also there is that whole thing about when you give money to a politician to run for office, you don't imagine that they are going to use it to pay off porn stars.

The money didn't come from the campaign, moron.

C'mon, a verbal contract is fine.

Sure, but can they be used to cover up crimes?

That's stupid.

Not a single person who voted for Candidate Trump would have given a single fuck.

We hired him to fix the nation, not our souls.

Like it's been said many times before...............

"A verbal contract is worth exactly the paper it's printed on".

You're blowing hot gas out your ass.

What crime?

The Novell Republicans know so much that isn't so.

you are right. That is why I have no idea why this is illegal. Unless Daniels knows some of Trump's illegal stuff.

Sure, but can they be used to cover up crimes?

NO, then it can turn into hush money which is illegal.
