Some legal violations are far more severe than others. Remaining in the US at age 30 after having been brought to America as a four-year-old doesn't seem quite as bad as pulling off a bungled robbery in which someone gets killed. Doing 36 in a 35 zone isn't in the same league as driving with a 0.20% BAC. I do not care about the salacious stuff that some porn star can say about the President's sexual antics, but if she heard him tell something that gives solid testimony that Americans got and needed Russian aid in getting elected, then I want that testimony to be tested through efforts to corroborate what she said.
$135K sounds like a huge amount of money for keeping quiet about something not criminal, but it now looks like far too little for what her silence could hide.
