From The Last English Prince:
“Cleanskin” with actor Sean Bean is one of my favorite movies. It opens with a scene of prostitution. When the woman is stiffed out of her agreed-upon fee and physically ejected from the hotel room by the private bodyguard, a classic line goes something like this: “You don’t pay a whore for sex, you pay her to go away.”
Regarding a mistress, prostitute, or for that matter an indiscretion which one wishes to make go away – “hush money” is the currency which protects the privacy of the risk-seeking individual. And if “hush money” is a crime, my best guess is that a decent percentage of those who serve us in Washington are also deserving of lock-up. Not many up for sainthood amongst that group.
My belief? Marital indiscretion is best handled by the parties involved. It is not the duty of the state to prosecute such offenses. These activities remain in the domain of what can (unfortunately) be seen as normative behavior for certain married adults. And when marital boundaries are crossed, the consequences are borne by both the guilty and innocent party. But these transgressions belong in the realm of the governance of the home for a potentially healthy resolution. Keep it under the roof and away from public view. If unresolved, divorce will suffice.
How many men have paid “hush money” to a woman?

I have irrefutable knowledge that the PSYOPS program included the sex trafficking of controlled women to multiple politicians for decades and for all I know it continues today. But that is denied and this nonsense is being weaponized to sabotage the candidacy of a former POTUS.
I was not aware you had information on that subject as well.
If you had told me previously, it went over my head.
