Mr Cohen and "Hush Money"

For John, BLUF:  Prosecutors making up the law as they go along.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Michael Cohen Pled Guilty to Something That Is Not a Crime

From National Review, by Bradley A. Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, 12 December 2018.

Here is the key passage:

In A Man for All Seasons, Sir Thomas More’s future son-in-law, Roper, states that he would “cut down every law in England” if it would enable him to catch the devil.

Here is where "Anglo-Saxon Privilege" comes into play.  As Sir Thomas says, "Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!"

We would do well to show a little humility.  It will be interesting to see if Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is the same politically oriented, sanctimonious prig the Mr James Comey comes across as.

EXIT QUESTION:  Will the very radioactive Russiagate turn out to have a half life of about a year and to decay into some isotope of campaign finance?  Supplemental Question:  Will this then blow back on the Democrats, to their disadvantage?

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
