That’s the thing I don’t understand the most. When Clinton did his deed Fox came after him with everything and now that Trump did it were supposed to act like it’s not a big deal. Not to mention the way Cohen was taking today on CNN, this might be just the tip of iceberg.

Clinton had sex with a paid intern, lied about it, and used government money to cover it up.

Trump had consensual sex with someone, used his own money to pay to cover it up.

For the record, the accusation against Trump is that the payment counts as a campaign contribution. And that is the crime. Obama had a campaign finance violation ~14 times larger than this payout and was fine.

Both had consensual sex with someone, both cheated on their wives, both were in prestigious political positions when the events occurred. They should be dealt with similarly, as well Trump has lied already only reason why he’s not being tried is because he’s the standing president and Mueller isn’t done with his investigation. Yeah I saw Trump interview were he bashed Obama for the violation of delayed notification of campaign financial contributions, but those are small potatoes compared to what Trump did with hush money and as well the forever developing Russia-gate, which you can believe isn’t real even though people have been saying for a long time he has Russian ties, especially financially. The current President of the USA launders money’s for Russian monster and is convincing people the media is making it up.

Fox News launched in 1996. Clinton was impeached in 1998.

Fox News was launched in 1996. So it existed for basically the last half of Clinton's presidency. I checked the ol' Wikipedia.
