oddly enough i don't think people should be able to

write off hush money to porn stars as a campaign expenditure. apparently, the left thinks you should be able to and that it's settled law. smh

from the FEC:

Using campaign funds for personal use is prohibited.

Commission regulations provide a test, called the “irrespective test,” to differentiate legitimate campaign and officeholder expenses from personal expenses. Under the “irrespective test,” personal use is any use of funds in a campaign account of a candidate (or former candidate) to fulfill a commitment, obligation or expense of any person that would exist irrespective of the candidate’s campaign or responsibilities as a federal officeholder.

so Cohen and Trump did NOT use campaign funds to pay off Stormy but the left WANTS it to be considered a campaign expenditure. it's so f'n backward.

I'd be ****ed if they called it a campaign expenditure and DIDN'T use personal funds to pay it.
