I don’t think it was the campaign that paid her, was it? I thought it was just some Trump business entity.

Yes but if the intent was to help or protect the campaign, and Trump's business paid for it (rather than the campaign or Trump personally) it's an illegal campaign donation because it's above the limit.

Seems like a pretty thin theory for such an unprecedented case. (I mean. Imagine if the campaign HAD paid for it!)

I’m all for accountability and rule of law. But I’d hope the grand jury has something a little bit better than just this.

Cohen paid her, and then was reimbursed by a Trump Org.
