I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV. And I look forward to albaby’s response to this (I hope he does).

But I think it comes down to sloppy accounting vs. intent to break the law.

If Trump had just paid the hush money out of his own pocket, perfectly legal.

Instead, he led a conspiracy to have his lawyer pay the hush money, and then had his organization (a no no) reimburse his attorney as grossed up legal fees (which documents showed they weren’t), thereby violating up to 3 federal laws (all campaign finance and tax related, I think) which in turn violates NYS law. I’m sure I’m leaving out stuff or hazy on some of it. But you get the idea.
