I'm kind of surprised there wasn't a tax charge thrown in there (especially since the IRS was part of the investigation...)

I guess it depends whether you consider the hush money a gift (did Denny file Form 709?), buying a service of silence (did he file a 1099?), buying a thing that is silent, or employing Individual A as your director of silence (uh, payroll taxes anyone?).

In any case, it seems very, very likely that Individual A should have paid taxes, and I don't think I'm going out on a long limb assuming he or she did not.

To the surprise of absolutely no-one.

This was the bit I liked:

β€œIt goes back a long way, back to then,” the source said. β€œIt has nothing to do with public corruption or a corruption scandal. Or to his time in office.”

Because as soon as he became a 'public official' everything was different, and he'd never do anything wrong ever again. Right?
