How is the payments to Stormey daniels related to Collusion in the trump election campaign?

Stormy is really Vladimir Putin in drag.

Stormy Daniels once ate a Russian salad.

What more proof do you need?

Russian Collusion writ large!

It's not. It just proves that trump committed a criminal offence. Our president is an unindicted criminal.

The issue is Trump's innocence or guilt. It doesn't matter if those two things are related because two things need not be related to both be bad. Trump can be innocent or guilty of both, or innocent of one and guilty of the other. Trump's and Cohen's statements have already told us that Trump is legal jeopardy because they covered up the payment to Stormy Daniels. Campaign law required it to be disclosed publicly.

There was no collusion, snowy!

All the lies the administration tells.

The initial investigation was into obstruction of justice by the President. We knew when, because it started with the day he fired James Comey. We knew how, because he had fired James Comey. What we needed to know was why he had fired James Comey. Are you still with me?

All of the crimes discovered by the Special Prosecutor have been discovered during the investigation of the why. This is the natural progress of a professional inquiry. The "fake" Russian infiltration of the campaign and obvious collusion between campaign and Russian operatives led to Paul Manafort and his team of fellow travellers. The money laundering accusations indicated that the Trump organization is deep in debt to Russian agents as well, and following that trail led through Cohen and his illegal payments. All of the above were discovered during the natural investigation.

You might as well ask why Monica Lewinsky had anything to do with Whitewater. Once the Special Prosecutor was appointed Pandora's box was opened.

It's not related to Russian collusion, at least as far as we know. It is a crime however. This was effectively an illegal donation.

That is related to campaign finance violations. Kenneth Starr got Clinton impeached for lying about a BJ when he was investigating a bad real estate deal that went bust and couldn't find any wrongdoing in.

Think of Daniels as the look of Russian conspiracy Stormys to come.

NDA payments are a back door into Trump's tax returns
