Cohen performed legal services in negotiating the NDA. But the payments reimbursed him for the money he gave to Daniels. Trump didn't pay him a quarter million dollars for a few hours' of legal work; he paid him a quarter million dollars to cover the payment that was made to Daniels and the income tax that Cohen had to pay to serve as that pass-through.

So? One can define "legal services" in all sorts of ways.

But that's a federal crime. A red state prosecutor can't bring that kind of charge - only the DOJ can do that. And unless she did it in Waco, Texas, she's not going to be tried there - she'd be tried somewhere that had a connection to the actus reus.

Sure. In a sane world. We're not heading for a sane world.

Again - you're assuming that Republicans are going to take this abuse from democrats lying down.
