Only through the generous support of his well-heeled donors was he able to hide his mistress from the public. If these were crimes, John Edwards would be on death row.Īs a presidential candidate in 2008, Edwards lied up a storm about getting his mistress pregnant as his wife was dying of cancer. Lying to the press isn’t a crime, and paying money to cover up an affair isn’t a crime, either, even if you’re running for president.

In addition, some senators are said to be furious that, instead of watching the videotapes, Reno has been taping over them with episodes of “’Xena: Warrior Princess.’”īut now we’re supposed to care that Trump’s personal lawyer lied about a legal payment to, depending on your point of view, a mistress or an opportunistic grifter - AND HE USED A TRUMP ORGANIZATION EMAIL ADDRESS. “With the release of over 100 hours of videotape of President Clinton at campaign fundraisers, the pressure continues to mount on Attorney General Janet Reno to name an independent counsel to investigate the president. “Weekend Update With Norm Macdonald,” Nov. “Saturday Night Live” was tougher on Reno. The New York Times’ response to Attorney General Janet Reno’s refusal to assign an independent counsel to these textbook campaign finance violations was a forceful editorial lightly ribbing Reno for her “blunders.” Videotapes of the White House fundraisers surfaced, featuring the president and vice president glad-handing campaign donors on federal property.Īnd again, no charges, no independent counsel. Still no charges and no independent counsel. In the 1990s, Chinese nationals were literally dragging duffel bags of money into the Democratic National Committee as President Clinton allowed sensitive ballistic-missile guidance technology to be transferred to the Chinese government.Ĭlinton held illegal campaign fundraisers at the White House, where Chinese citizens handed checks directly to White House staff. This is how they lure you into arguing about something that doesn’t matter. Their argument is what if he didn’t pay it himself?! That’s why the media are obsessed with when Cohen emailed Stormy Daniels’ lawyer and from which email address - trying to find bread crumbs that someone else paid Stormy in order to claim it was an illegal campaign contribution - again requiring that the payment be motivated solely by the fact that Trump was running for office.
