Right before the campaign, is what matters, plus the fact it wasn't reported, and his tax returns would be turned over in a case like that.ttps://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/07/26/anderson-cooper-trump-cohen-tapes-kth-sot-vpx.cnn
People, at some point, Republicans are going to have to deal with Trump and this "massive" web of deceit, lies, and criminal activity that has taken over the well being of this country. Trump is simply not worth sacrificing 250 years of Constitutional government and the rule of law.
And now, with this additional evidence that couldn't have been more crystal clear in this audio tape of Trump and Cohen, some of their key quotes were as follows: This is Trump; "what financing". Then Cohen after Trump said this, "we'll have to pay". Then Trump said after that, "in cash". Then Cohen said, "no,no, no,no,no". The only way one could not have heard that audio as clear as it was, is if you were either Helen Keller, Rudy Giuliani, or simply someone who isn't interested in the truth. Those are the three options. Now that I have listened to it over and over, the relevant parts to that tape were crystal clear.
And also, to be clear, what was said is an implication of illegal campaign finance violations, weeks before an election to hide an affair, that showed intent to do so.And it doesn't even matter that any money ever changed hands. That's the beauty of this case. This shows a conspiracy to gain an edge or thing of value in an election, that would have directly hurt Trump if exposed. The legal liability in this one tape is huge.
OAN was reporting that a Dem presidential candidate (don't recall the name but I'm sure one can look it up) a few years ago did the exact same thing (pay for the story rights scheme) and he wasn't busted for campaign finance violations on it.
Also, IF Trump has been paying them off for "decades", as is being reported, then the prosecution will be hard pressed to prove it was "related to the campaign" "this time" which means, no campaign finance violation.
We'll see if it disappears from the news shortly as no doubt the MSM is frothing at the mouth to find out if their Impeach 45 campaign can use it or not.
Nope. IF he has a history of doing this /before/ he considered being a candidate then the argument that he was hiding this shit because of the campaign falls flat. Can't call it a campaign expense if he's been doing it for years and years - and frankly given his history on TV and in the spot light, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's been buying the stories for decades lol
