This is a guilty plea, not an adjudication. It\u2019s a plea bargain, not a precedent. They obviously had more on Michael Cohen, or he wouldn\u2019t have cut a deal. If a candidate chooses to make a settlement with someone or have them sign a nondisclosure agreement, that is not illegal. For example, let\u2019s say a candidate says, \u2018Get a nondisclosure agreement, pay the funds out of my pocket, because I don\u2019t want this person to attack me during the campaign for something that occurred before the campaign.\u2019 That\u2019s perfectly legal.
