Total insanity from the democrats

The following is part of the legal definition of extortion.

 

Virtually all extortion statutes require that a threat must be made to the person or property of the victim. Threats to harm the victim's friends or relatives may also be included. It is not necessary for a threat to involve physical injury. It may be sufficient to threaten to accuse another person of a crime or to expose a secret that would result in public embarrassment or ridicule. The threat does not have to relate to an unlawful act. Extortion may be carried out by a threat to tell the victim's spouse that the victim is having an illicit sexual affair with another.

Other types of threats sufficient to constitute extortion include those to harm the victim's business, and many statutes also provide that any threat to harm another person in his or her career or reputation is extortion.

 

Please reread the definition of extortion above before continuing.

 

Stormy Daniels and her lowlife lawyer threatened to make it known that Trump had been involved with Stormy in some kind  of sexual affair for the express purpose of extorting money from him in the form of “hush money”. Clearly, Trump was the victim of an extortion scheme by Stormy Daniels and her lawyer. The extortion demand was paid by Trump’s lawyer, who was reimbursed by Trump from his own money. To clarify this, the extortion payment was paid by money which ultimately came from Trump’s personal wealth. Trump committed no crime. His lawyer committed no crime. Stormy Daniels and her lawyer committed an act of extortion. According to the democrats, Stormy Daniels past as a prostitute and her extortion activities make her a hero to be applauded, and Trump (the victim of the extortion) should be punished. Does any of this make any sense at all?

Now they are trying to claim that Trump cannot spend his own money during his presidential campaign to further his own campaign’s success! They are claiming that in addition to being a victim of extortion (which the democrats are applauding), the extortion payment must be considered a campaign expense (really??!!), and in addition they are claiming that Trump cannot spend his own money for “campaign expenses! Have you ever heard such a crock before?
