It’s not a hard argument to make, especially given the timing after the Access Hollywood tape.
Orange directed Cohen to make the payment to shut her up to help the campaign after the pussy grabbing tape. He later reimbursed the money which would qualify as a contribution as would the original directed payment by Cohen.
Orange’s counter is that it was all for personal reasons unrelated to the campaign.
A simple factual, motive issue for a jury.
Clear PC to file charges.
Now what did Barry personally do, or had knowledge of that is remotely similar?
And how are OOC payments even marginally relevant unless they came from private sources?
