I agree with you. No one has really answered this well enough for my liking.

To me, it seems avenatti's actual crime was angering men in high places...(which is what I find terrifying in terms of where this country is headed)

If what avenatti did was illegal...then how is trump silencing his escort bimbos with NDAs not illegal?

Is it merely the STYLE of communication that is being punished?

[U]Why is paying someone to stay silent okay but offering someone your silence for money not????[/U]

the substance of what happens in both scenarios is the same to me...every time someone pays for silence...it is the same in my opinion.

to me ...it should only be extortion if the threatened action is indeed illegal...like "i'll kill you if" or "i'll fire you if..." etc

...in my opinion no one should ever be in legal jeopardy for threatening to do a LEGAL ACTION.

I mean one could make a pretty good argument that all NDAs should be illegal if what avenatti did was illegal.
