Unfortunately, actual justice may prove to be far more elusive

Stormy DanielsAfter all of Donald Trump’s well-documented malfeasance over the decades – his fake university and failed casino, his Covid denialism, his consorting with dictators, his blatant lies about election fraud, his incitement of a deadly riot – it has taken a hush money payment to a porn actress to create the most imminent threat that he’ll face criminal charges

What’s more, the facts of the case may not be nearly as minor as they look. Messing around with business records, potentially to obscure a violation of election law? That’s not tiddlywinks, and the implications are considerable. But she ultimately agreed to stay quiet about it and accept a payment after an agreement was negotiated.“Ms. Daniels signed her copy,” the New York Times recounted, “on the trunk of a car near a porn set in Calabasas, California”Such an outcome would probably depend on prosecutors being able to prove that Trump paid back his fixer, Michael Cohen, who made the payment, and falsified business records, possibly to conceal a violation of campaign-finance laws.
