I am going to answer this question because I believe it is sincere, and because I think the question goes to the heart of the problem.
By problem I mean this: How it was that “her emails” sank so deeply into the public consciousness . . .
At the same time, multiple federal felonies for which there is overwhelming evidence can slide under the radar.
The hush payment felonies are a relatively simple crimes compared, say to the TrumpRussia conspiracy.
So here we go. How we can be fairly certain that the payments were hush money.
David Dennison in the contract was later (in court) revealed to be Donald Trump. Peggy Peterson is Stormy Daniels. usnews.com/news/national-…
Dennison-Trump never signed the contract. This was to give him deniability.
The story as related to Trump kept evolving.

That, John, is how we know.
See how hard that is to fit into a soundbite?
I can't see how "His checks!" can have the ring of "her emails!"
