Campaign funds were not spent, the money was paid to Cohen from the Trump Organization. A business entity, not from a campaign account.

Then it’s a Federal case. The DoJ, and FEC declinedMoney paid to Porn Star to keep quite 11 days before an election is a Campaign Contribution.
They won’t get the chance based on your beliefs…You can argue what you like and tell the Jury they are too fucking dumb to not see that. See how that goes...
NY is not the overseer for the nation.The information was kept from the voters by illegal means.. Than means illegally...
Tell it to congress, maybe they’ll use their slush fund…It is very hard to pay off a porn star that you fucked 11 days before election without breaking the law.
Again, Federal.Paying for the NDA is effectively a benefit to the Trump Camapign.
Don't be childishAgain, go in front of the Jury and call them dumb fucks by asking to believe it is not...
is that what your fantasy is? You’re sick.If you want to treat the Jury with that much contempt, go on ahead... They might come back and ask is the Death Penalty an option.
How many checks do you think Trump signs a day, running a global business? Any? Or, are that the responsibility of the accounting dept?Except he signed the cheques to pay Cohen. Here is a fucking picture:

That's reimbursement, your arguement is fucked... a
And is a prolific liar, as described by at least one judge.Trump is accused of being in concert with Cohen in this whole sordid mess.
Cohen was convicted and served jail time for his part in it
Nanny, nanny, boo, boo.Trump is a criminal lowlife & I'll continue to say it.
Remember that the next time your head is up his ass.

It isn't.
The information was kept from the voters by illegal means..
Post the law that says that.
And the list of legal means to keep info from voters, and the list of illegal means.
It is very hard to pay off a porn star that you fucked 11 days before election without breaking the law.
Post that law.

I'm busy, calling you a dumb fuck.

Trump paid for a contribution to the Trump campaign? That's awful!
How is a self-contribution a violation of campaign finance laws?
Edwards was a screwed up prosecution...
No precedence but nice try...
He used campaign funds to pay off his baby momma.
If that's not illegal, using campaign funds for personal gain.........
Much worse than using personal funds for campaign gain.
Agreed, I was just trying to point out that it is very hard to pay off someone while in a campaign.While the statement is true, it doesn't apply to this case.

It is a Catch 22 situation and rightly so...
Correct me if I am wrong but spending Campaign Money to hide an affair is an illegal use of campaign fund.
That is what they tried to get Jon Edwards on (and failed), prosecutors screwed it up later..
John Edwards used funds to hide affair, court hears
Defence team says most of illegal donation went to an aide and that Edwards is a man of 'many sins but no crimes'www.theguardian.com
Paying off to hide an affair is very tricky to do without breaking the law...
The best way is to hire Stormy in this case as a election consultant and pay an large salary for a no show job.

It is, exactly.

Pay her with your own money, perfectly legal. Which he did.
No I'm not. The Bush "Grab'em by the Vagina" tape scandal had just come out. The payment was made 11 days before the election.
What alternative reason other than to support the campaign would there be?
Remember the claim is that the prosecution has evidence showing that there was an attempt to delay the payment until after the election meaning the story could come out then.
So what reasonable explanation do you have that applies before the election but not after?
Or have we just devolved to the personal insults phase?

It is both State and Federal... State decided to take it up.Then it’s a Federal case. The DoJ, and FEC declined
Probably because Barr did everything he could to bury it.
Trump is entitled to mount any defence he sees possible.. His lawyers can argue it is not a Campaign Contribution 11 days before the election. See will the Jury believe it or just take offence at such a stupid move...They won’t get the chance based on your beliefs…
I think you want the Jury to be as stupid as MAGA supporters, they are not..
It is not but it is the overseer of NY elections... Study the Constitution on how a President gets elected...NY is not the overseer for the nation.
Evidence... Anyway you can't use the 'We are not as bad as Hitler' defence...Tell it to congress, maybe they’ll use their slush fund…
Law is the Law and that is what the Jury will be deciding... Did Trump break the law.
This is no way a defence to use in court.
Read the Constitution.Again, Federal.
You want to treat the Jury with contempt and sell them a bunch of lies...Don't be childish
is that what your fantasy is? You’re sick.
Trying to tell the Jury it too stupid to see what is obvious doesn't work but go on ahead. Try that defence and see how it goes..
Trump signed them... That is all that is needed...How many checks do you think Trump signs a day, running a global business? Any? Or, are that the responsibility of the accounting dept?
Micheal Cohen statement just puts the checks in frame and how they were discussed...
Again, try that as a defence and see how far you get...
Added to that Cohen was recording conversations and they are in the filing to the court for this case...
This case looks open and shut but Trump is entitled to mount a defence but I wouldn't be using any of yours if I was him...
You are clinging on to anything you can but in court you get one shot, this isn't TV punditry where you throw something out and see if resonates... You have to come with a really feasible.
Trump has admitting paying Stormy for her slience.
He even sued Stormy for breaking the NDA

Trump is the client from Hell... He keeps changing his story and the prosecution is going to have a field day with that.
First it was his businesses money not his money.No I'm not. The Bush "Grab'em by the Vagina" tape scandal had just come out. The payment was made 11 days before the election.
With his own money, not campaign funds. Perfectly legal.
When you make a payment like this during election campaign it is considered a campaign contribution... There is plenty of precedent in law.
You are effectively giving money to your Campaign as donation.
You can try argue in court that it is not but don't expect anyone to believe you... Jury's are just not that gullible.
You are going to try and convince a Jury that paying off a Porn Star about affair 11 days before an election has nothing to do with the election.. Seriously, do you think that sells, might to a hyper partisan MAGA crowd but not in the real world.

Yes.It is if the payments were hidden during a presidential campaign in order to benefit that campaign.
Is everything that benefits a campaign a contribution?
In that case the payments become campaign contributions and the law says that campaign contributions of that size have to be disclosed.
Trump made a contribution to his own campaign?
An unreported (therefore illegal) one.

They're his books he can do what he wants with them.It was the cover-up, not the payments. He doctored the books to hide the payments, that's fraud, that's a crime.
Well, we disagree…shocker. I will wait for the jury to render a verdict here, unlike you, who is fantasizing about Trump getting the death penalty for a misdemeanor trumped up to a felony, by a Soros stooge, in a blue city.It is both State and Federal... State decided to take it up.

How stupid do you think people are...
On top of that you have him on tape saying as much...
Trumpâs hush-money trial: prosecutorsâ key arguments in criminal case
Starting Monday, Trump becomes the first ex-US president to face a criminal jury, over alleged payments to an adult film star
www.theguardian.com
Jury's don't like lawyers attempts a hoodwinking them, even if it is really bad.
Trump could attempt to say that filing it as a business expense was a clerical mistake and he shouldn't have done that. But this presents a new problem, first he had ample opportunity to present this to the court during discovery and he didn't and second he would be pleading guilty to a very serious campaign law violation.
I pretty sure any Judge would say too late, you had your chance for that defence years ago. OR say ok... Everyone stay where you are, prosecution comes in the next day with new set of charges which the Trump team has just pleaded guilty to in court the previous day.
So you admit you are not even looking for him to found innocent...Well, we disagree…shocker. I will wait for the jury to render a verdict here, unlike you, who is fantasizing about Trump getting the death penalty for a misdemeanor trumped up to a felony, by a Soros stooge, in a blue city.
A hung jury is the best you can do here in a normal world…
Never fantazied about Trump getting the Death Penalty... Where you getting that from... I said if Biden was up on these charges, the MAGA would want the death penalty and considering they accuse him of Treason everyday, are you going to reute that?
You make a few accusations yourself... Who are you calling a 'Soros stooge'? Could you show us evidence... Does this person know George Soros or what?
Yep, New York is a Blue City... Kansas is a Red State... What's your point? These are professionals...
