The "illegal campaign contribution scheme" may not be the one you think??

19 pages are blacked out in today's release, redacted.

We tend to assume it must be about Stormy Daniels and National Enquirer? But it may be about something much larger?

There were rumors and stories about the NRA and contributions to the RNC and the Republican candidates.

That's a lot of pages to be redacted under that story. The word, "scheme", might indicate more than one target?

There could be a lot more to this story.

Trump should be “utterly terrified” about the lengthy redacted section, national security lawyer Bradley Moss said.
