Napolitano correctly states the law and the facts.

My expertise in criminal law is minimal, but one thing that strikes me that Napolitano did not discuss is whether Trump can be indicted for a misdemeanor or a felony when his motives for paying off the porn star might have been mixed - to ward off his wife's ire and to make an illegal political contribution.

He should have paid her out of petty cash, be done with it. Get a release and a NDA written on a napkin. I'm exaggerating but he did show abysmal judgment by getting lawyered up, release/settlement documents signed, etc. In other words, leaving a trail of evidence even a blind man could follow.

And why trust a sleaze like Cohen to do your dirty work for you? And why such a complicated scheme?

What happened to hooker's reputed discretion? He bought it with an NDA.

Anyway, Trump obviously sees this as great fun, another media firestorm. Media firestorms are the mother's milk of politics, and he was starting to run dry.

I expect he welcomes the charge.

I do not know how much real legal jeopardy he might be in. As Napolitano explained, there is room for him to be charged with a felony.

He wants to excite the base. And I can see how his base will be exorcised as the crime is clearly political, six years old, etc. Anyone else would have not been prosecuted or would have been given a plea deal early on.
