Even if Lindsey Graham was right about everything he said, and of course he’s not, then at worst we would have a situation where Tiger Woods is suspected of tax fraud. If so, great. File charges against him. File charges against all rich people who commit tax fraud.
It’s a nice dream, isn’t it? But Lindsey Graham can’t even imagine it.
Paying someone to sign an NDA is not illegal. Using your attorney to obfuscate the payment using campaign funds, while evading taxes, in order to influence an election is illegal.
They’d still find some bullshit reason to downplay it, but I really think we should stop referring to this election interference trial as a hush money trial.
I mean, Trump wasn’t either. That’s the issue with the payment – the campaign could have paid for it or Trump could have paid for it and reported it as a contribution to the campaign. Instead the catch and kill program was designed to keep these incidents off the campaign’s books.
“They did it, so it’s okay when we do it” is such a tired excuse from Republicans at this point. Especially when the “they did it” is so often projection.
It’s not even “they did it.” It’s “someone did it.” Tiger Woods is not a Democratic political figure. Nor did he fail to properly file the payments. This is not even an apples and oranges comparison. Those are at least both fruits. This is more like an apples to rat comparison. Not both fruits but technically both are edible.
