You cite Limbaugh on here often. Nobody really cares what Limbaugh says because he is nothing more than a windbag in the same class as Hannity.
I thought Rush retired years ago after his Oxy addiction made him deaf.
You don't see see the word "cash" appears anywhere, do you?! Does the law says "personal checks" are ok???? In fact, the law says "any transaction". ANY TRANSACTION done with a criminal nature to deceive is a violation of the law. Any transaction means ANY type of financial instrument, be it cash, check, or gold.
Previously, Trump had insisted that his lawyer Michael Cohen unilaterally decided to buy his (alleged) paramour’s silence in October 2016 — and that he never reimbursed Cohen for that expense. That narrative did nothing to refute the charge that Cohen’s payment violated campaign finance law: Paying someone not to disclose information that would damage a political campaign qualifies as an “in-kind contribution” to that campaign, under federal rules, and $130,000 is far more than any individual can contribute to a single campaign. Still, if Cohen hadn’t been repaid, then the offense was his own.
But on Hannity, Giuliani insisted that “the president repaid it,” suggesting that this rendered the payment “not campaign money,” and that therefore, there was “no campaign finance violation.” Alas, this analysis was entirely wrong: While Trump could legally make contributions of any size to his own campaign, his campaign cannot accept loans of any size from outside contributors; and if Cohen made a $130,000 payment to Daniels with the intention of aiding Trump’s candidacy, and was subsequently reimbursed, then that payment would constitute an excessively large loan — and the Trump campaign’s failure to report it would have been a campaign finance violation.
There is no "if", "and", or "but" that law was broken. The only question is who's guilty? Is it Cohen alone, or is it Cohen and Trump.
And based on what was said yesterday, it is Cohen and Trump.
He is only partially deaf. He only hears propaganda and conspiracy theories from the extreme right.
Ironic that the titular head of the party of family values is an opiate addict.It makes more sense now that we are in the GOP's 'grab them by the *****, move on her like a *****' era.

I rest my case. You can begin another dance now.
