Former election commissioner: Cohen and Trump didn't violate campaign finance law

Oh and since when is it illegal to pay off someone accusing you of having an affair with your own money??
Trump said he didn't know about the $130,000 payment. So how could it have been his own money?

Sure before the election.

Giuliani told The Washington Post that Trump did not know about the payment at the time it was made in October 2016. He also said he did not know when Trump learned of it. He said he spoke to Trump “about two weeks ago” about the payment, and it was at that time that Trump “probably” got “the full picture for the first time” about the payment.

You just blew your own question out of the water!

The payment to Stormy was therefore an illegal campaign contribution.


Well if that's so then the money the DNC and Hitlery paid to Steele for the fake Trump dossier should be considered a campaign contribution.

Wow. That's THREE logical fallacies in a single sentence! Well done!


I aim to please.

Oh and since the FEC hasn't ruled on the money paid to Daniels I think you can leave that one off your next rant.

Stormy Daniels' payoff an illegal contribution? FEC ruling could take years – Center for Public Integrity

Real good article on how long it takes them to rule on anything. Hell some of what they are going to rule on is seven years old. They figure they will get around to the Trump money in 2020.
 
Unfortunately, multiple federal judges, show know the law, disagree with this "former elections commissioner."

YOU LOSE!
Multiple federal judges agree with the FEC commissioner. Most important, there's a 5-4 Republican majority on the Supreme Court.

This is going nowhere.

Why would it go to the Supreme Court. No one is taking it there. Your orange king is and will always be an unindicted orange king....wait....until he leaves office. Then the Feds will come knocking.
ROFL! No they won't. Remember when all you dumbasses said you were going to continue investigating Kavanaugh? Obviously, that was pure bullshit.
It's likely trump will be indicted for financial crimes the day he leaves office.

Oh so Hitlery and the DNC didn't pay Steele for a fake dossier??

Good to know.
 
Makes zero difference if he was his attorney, his barber, his hitman, or any other vocation.

I did get a chuckle from the argument of trying to exonerate Trump because his attorney should have told him “no”.

Probably why he got disbarred/lost his State license along with the 3 years in the pokey.

Anyway, the noose is tightening on the blob.

Good.

None of these Trump ass kissers will EVER admit that.........at the very least.......Trump sucks big time in hiring people....LOL
Trump does seem to have a proclivity for hiring some real scumbags to work for him, and for our government.

So much for "draining the swamp".

It's weird how Crooked Donald consistently proves he is everything he accuses others of.

Textbook projection.

Its a campaign expense.
When you pay for something, its an expense for you.

(and nothing in dossier has been disproved)
 
Mueller has nothing. If he did his report would be out.

As for Trump forcing Cohen?? I call bullshit on that.

How could Trump force his attorney to do something?

That's my point. He couldn't

If Cohen did something illegal he did it on his own.
So if I hire a hit man, I am not guilty.

Wow.

The purpose of election campaign laws is to make matters transparent and equal for all the candidates. Voters are entitled to knowing the facts about each candidate. trump and Cohen took the voter's opportunity away to knowing the facts about the orange idiot's affairs. The money was paid to hide who would have been a very embarrassing story, shortly before the election.

If Hillary or a campaign associate had paid the media to hide the issue about her computer server, she would have been guilty of campaign finance law. Does that help? Naw, trumpettes are always going to be trumpettes....

It is also to entrap candidates so the opposition can use the violation in their campaign.

I don't believe the politician's motives can ever be that pure

Exactly. If Steele had done the job at his own expense and gifted it to the Clinton campaign, then dipshit might have had a good point.

You don't send your star witness to prison before he testifies against the target.

Tovarich Meuller has nothing and he knows it.

And another Russian outs himself.

These are desperate attempts by Trumpbots and Russians to whistle past the graveyard as Prosecutor Mueller tightens the noose. "Tovarich" Mueller has the payroll records from the Russian troll farm where you work. He has Flynn and Cohen, singing like canaries. He has everything that was in Michael Cohen's office, including tape recordings of Trump breaking the law. And now "Tovarich" Mueller has a singing Maria Butina.

If you had the vaguest clue about the law and how such prosecutions are handled, you'd know that the prosecutor who took down the Gambino Crime Family and prosecuted Manuel Noreiga for the Lockerbie Bombing, plays his cards close to the vest. He doesn't hold press conferences and give away everything he has, but if you read the filings, it's a LOT. Just the level of technical detail in the Manafort Trial left the 12 jurors, many of whom believed the trial to be a "witch hunt" going in, to vote "Guilty" on all 10 counts of money laundering and bank fraud, and 11 of whom voted "Guilty" on all 18. One MAGA Hat wearing juror said the evidence of "overwhelming".

Mueller is bringing this level of detail and accuracy to the matter of proving Donald Trump's conspiracy with others, to corrupt the US Presidential elections, and along with help from WikiLeaks and the Russian government, a government openly hostile to the interests of the United States of America, mislead the American public.

Since his election, Trump has worked hard to unravel the trade agreements and military alliances that have made the USA the richest, most powerful nation in the world, all to the benefit of Vladimir Putin, and other nations hostile to the USA.

Among those who are now co-operating with the various investigations is Trump's life-long accountant, the guy who cut the cheques, and prepared the initial tax filings. Trump also inherited this accountant from his father. Alan Weiselberg knows where ALL the bodies are buried, and who cut all of the cheques to cover their burial costs.

Unfortunately for that little fantasy, they didn't pay a cent to Steele. They paid it to Fusion GPS.

Who paid Steele. Do you really think that makes a difference? Do you imagine Hillary didn't know who Fusion GPS was paying? That's called "money laundering."
 
Whoops! Another snowflake scheme to get Trump gets shot out of the saddle.

Former election commissioner: Cohen and Trump didn't violate campaign finance law

Trump-haters hoping the president’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, will provide the evidence needed to impeach the president and perhaps even “lock him up” are likely headed for a bitter disappointment. The Cohen guilty pleas are likely irrelevant to the fate of President Trump.

That’s because in my judgment – as someone who served for two years as a member of the Federal Election Commission – the campaign finance law violations Cohen pleaded guilty to committing, allegedly at Donald Trump’s direction, aren’t really violations.

If I’m right – that is, if Cohen didn’t really violate campaign finance law, despite his ill-advised guilty plea – then it would be impossible for Trump to have violated campaign finance law by directing Cohen to take a perfectly legal action.

Confused? That’s understandable, because the media lump all the charges Cohen pleaded guilty to together when explaining this complex case. But in reality, Cohen was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New York City on several separate and unrelated charges.

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison by a federal judge and was also ordered to pay almost $2 million in fines, restitution and forfeitures after earlier pleading guilty to multiple counts of business and tax fraud. Those crimes have absolutely nothing to do with Trump, but rather involve Cohen’s own business dealings.

In addition, Cohen was sentenced on his guilty pleas to violating campaign finance law on Trump’s behalf – an action that, as I will explain, I believe was not really a crime at all.

Judge Napolitano: “We’ve learned that federal prosecutors here in New York City, not Bob Mueller and his team in Washington, D.C., career prosecutors here in New York City, have evidence that the president of the United States committed a felony by ordering and paying Michael Cohen to break the law,”

Fox News’ Judge Napolitano: We Now Know Trump ‘Committed a Felony’
We don't know any such thing. Napolitano has been acting like a deep state douchebag lately. It's hard to believe that he calls himself a libertarian.

You don't like Napolitano because he is acting like a honest broker rather than the Trump sycophant he started as. You are so dishonest. You are the douchebag.
He's repeating fake news lies.

Keep deluding yourself if it makes you feel better. Trump will never be indicted for violating campaign contribution laws.

That is not at all likely. Even if he was, what does that have to do with Russian collusion? All you sleazy vermin are just admitting that this investigation never had anything to do with collusion. It's just a dirty illegal attempt to get Trump, anyway you can.

It has been disproved that Comey was ever in Prague, and the rest of the "dossier" is pure fantasy. It has to be validated. failing to invalidate it doesn't make it legal evidence for a FISA court.
