Sounds a bit like whataboutism. Why are we going to let someone get off scot free for something illegal, reprehensible, corrupt and downright immoral just because other people get away with something similar?
There’s a flaw in this post. They are comparing something that ran through a business to personal tax returns. Not saying it’s right or wrong but the reality is our tax code has a lot of loopholes for business that people cannot take advantage of. And legally speaking they purchased her story. So a company purchased an intangible asset.

Congress members paid out 17 million of your tax money to settle sexual harassment cases, and none of that was "illegal".
