Trump was paying them.. not directly cash, but paid vacations, jewelry, etc.. nothing is free.
along that line, should Marla Maples be muzzled, since she wasn't a Provider?
what about all the people from Trump's Administration who have been fired? should they say nothing about known ties to Russia, because they were paid previously?
tangential, sure.. my point is money and silence aren't directly related. it's more of an ethical issue.

...it sort of becomes " Are any non-disclosure legalities or guidelines ever valid?"
...and, if those contracts are - "you can beak them without penalty", then aren't ALL contracts subject to "being followed until the person they obligate feels differently about the matter?"
Seriously. Lets say you loan someone money... they agree to repay you... then later, for their own reason (change in circumstances) they decide "I don't want to"... that should be "forgiven"? or should they be held responsible.
Mind you everyone. "Outing" is an "unwritten law"... but so is "Provide services as stated" (No cash & Dash); "Be respectful of the clock" (on BOTH sides - be prompt, timely, and fair)...
...if everyone just starts acting "how they see fit", then its chaos.
...if there is no "group justice" which holds us all to some level of decorum & responsibility on our actions... why review? Why complain? Why even discuss?
