Katie S. Phang: Donald Trump's indictment isn't just about 'business crimes.' It's about buying the 2016 election.

October 2015: AMI, with $30,000 and an nondisclosure agreement , buys the silence of a former Trump Tower doorman who allegedly had information about a child Trump allegedly fathered out of wedlock. September 2016: Cohen secretly records Trump during a private conversation in Trump’s office during which they talk about how to funnel the money to McDougal. Cohen tells Trump that he and Allen Weisselberg, then-Trump Organization’s CFO, have discussed the logistics of the payoff.
Oct. 27, 2016: Just a few days before the Nov. 8, 2016 presidential election, Cohen, with $130,000 and an NDA, buys the silence of Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had an extramarital sexual encounter with Trump while he was married.
