Since Pecker’s company already paid $175K FEC fine for illegal campaign contributions in the McDougal case…which I don’t understand because I thought it was Chump who paid her off (or ALSO paid her off) did the National Enquirer get slapped for the Stormy Daniels payments? If not, why not?
And another point…is this trial solely about the Stormy Daniels payments only, or do the McDougal and Doorman payments also count as instances/charges in these proceedings? If not, why not?
And am I reading this correctly, if National Enquirer got fined for the McDougal instance…as a breach of Federal Campaign Law (fined more than the pay-off, from what I can tell) is that a predicate that the jury cannot ignore that YES, this was all tied up with campaign implications and has already been settled as a campaign violation?
