The real question is who will his supporters go after and for what. Who knows what secrets are being held back and saved for a special occasion. This is only the beginning of political vendettas unleashed. I’m fairly confident there are Republican DAs with grand juries on deck. Anyway, decent joke.

Isn't he being indicted for his deal with Stormy Daniels? It wasn't really a secret being held back.

No, he is being indicted for misusing business funds and other finance violations (including a claim that the money to reimburse Cohen for the deal with Daniels was "legal fees" to Cohen, rather than stating that it was for payment to Daniels). There is also a question about the money possibly coming from his campaign funds, which would be a further violation.

If Trump were to have cut a personal check from his own finances to Daniels, then I do not think anyone could call that illegal. It is the source of the funds and how they were transferred that is the problem (from what I understand), along with any coverup.

I might be missing something (especially with "more than 30 counts"), but that is my understanding.
