I think you’ve mixed them up, not me. The headline and Fox article are both about the civil fraud case brought by Letitia James and presided over by judge Engoron. It’s a civil case so can’t lead to any criminal conviction, whether felony or misdemeanor, and has nothing to do with campaign donations. The criminal case is the one brought by Alvin Bragg and presided over by judge Merchan. And both are New York State cases so irrelevant to any member of Congress.
the sentencing from the other day is the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
Right, that’s Bragg’s criminal case. Not the one in this thread. And even Bragg’s case won’t have any bearing on paying for NDAs by congress - the NDA itself is perfectly legal, so is paying for it, the crime was funneling the money through Cohen instead of paying it directly and that’s only a crime under New York law not federal.
