I completely agree with Classic Conservative. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the hush money part either. He was free to do what he wanted as I have previously stated, and it is despicable that our government is prosecuting him for that. Also, I'd bet there are a lot of portraits of slaveholders in our Federal buildings. Must all those be removed too, or does "time-context" make that acceptable. Is there no objectively morality?
This article is not exactly about the topic, but a lot of it involves how I feel on the matter of this case:
