What is something super important that is on the verge of happening?

In all seriousness, since when is it illegal to pay off a mistress to stay quiet? Politicians have been doing it forever. Rich people have been doing it forever and it has always been 100% legal. I am still confused how paying off a mistress is illegal. They keep saying it was that it affected his campaign thus a finance violation, in theory, but you are allowed to affect your own campaign, especially if you are doing it with your own money. You can spend 10 billion to influence your own campaign. Cohen even got reimbursed, did it expecting to be reimbursed, and was successfully reimbursed. Thus, I again, I am still trying to see where the crime is here.

I mean hell, didn't we learn about Congress' slush fund where they used taxpayer money to pay off mistresses, just recently? That seems way more questionably unethical than a dude paying off a mistress with his own money.
