The argument is that since the hush money was paid to influence the election, it was a campaign expenditure. But by that logic, every dime Chris Christie spent to lose weight before his 2016 run the diet books, the StairMaster, the bariatric surgery was a campaign expenditure. If Christie bought a SlimFast shake with his personal money, was he a felon?
Former Federal Election Commissioner Bradley Smith posited another hypothetical: If a business owner ran for political office and decided to pay bonuses to his employees in the hope that he would get good press and boost his stock as a candidate, would that be a campaign expenditure, payable from campaign funds?
If a candidate who normally gets a $12 haircut shells out $40 for a better cut, is he a criminal for paying out of his own pocket even though the idea is to look sharp in front of news cameras? If a candidate pays a contested past-due personal bill only to make the headache go away before the debates begin, is he legally required to pay out of his campaign coffers?

I’m hoping the House Impeachment Circus is centered on Trump’s campaign law ‘violation’ [which results in a fine in more sane instances] for a couple reasons.
The first one is obvious: it’s a weak charge. But secondly, the hush money paid out of the congressional slush fund looms in the background. Do House Democrats really want to go there when Trump can order declassification of it? There will be some serious dirty laundry aired if that happens.
This could get interesting.

You’d do well to hope that lol.
Though the fact Mullet is barking up that tree seems to indicate desperation on his part. Campaign finance violations are low hanging fruit. Not as bad as invoking the 1799 Logan Act, but nearly so.
Why would he even bother with it if he serious goods on Trump?

I especially liked the one about the bonuses. One is out in public, and bragged about, and the other is done in secret, with the help of others employing illegal monetary scams.
And...the issue is the dollar amount. Not necessarily the scope of the contribution.
Ironically, this is exactly what put Kushner's real daddy in jail.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Did you notice that no "Russian collusion" seems to have occurred?
Looks like the FISA warrant was a fabricated excuse to get an open-ended investigation going.
Never-Trumpers and DEMOCRATS started with the premise that Trump has to be guilty of something/anything and have spent over $30 million and 19 months trying to find a "crime."
I'm sure laughing about it, not sure if Donny or Milaniais.
