Deputy Finance Chair of RNC just pleaded guilty to campaign finance felony at direction of POTUS

That should be the framing of this story. Not Trump's lawyer. Not Trump's fixer. Not paying hush money. Not paying off a porn star. Not paying off a playboy model.

A high ranking officer of the Republican National Committee, at the direction of the candidate for POTUS, committed a federal campaign finance felony.

This is not merely a personal scandal on Trump's part. The Republican party itself must bear the stain of this.
