They GOT him! At least as far as...

... the facts go. Two observations on the statement of facts that accompanied tfg's indictment:

First, They have successfully linked him, not just through testimony, but through substantial evidence, with direct participation and knowledge of the several pay offs. There is no plausible deniability.

Second, They have successfully presented evidence and testimony that his intention was to aid his campaign, and not to, for instance, "preserve the sanctity of his marriage".

On the facts, they seem to have him nailed.

The only questions will be of law - does covering up misdeeds through hush money payments constitute in-kind campaign contributions. Hopefully, he will be found guilty before this question is taken up on appeal.
