People will lie for money

 

[ColonelAngus]

But is it illegal to broker a deal so that a woman will get $750,000 to claim they were raped by Trump?

That's what Lisa Bloom did....I am wondering if it's illegal? As an attorney she likely knew if what she was doing was illegal or unethical.

Lisa Bloom tried to get Trump accusers paid

No, it's not illegal for a lawyer to "broker a deal" for her client to sell her story.

It happens all the time.

Is it unethical? Possibly. But that's a different conversation.

It may be a violation of campaign finance laws because these were clearly campaign expenditures that weren't reported.

It is when it's a campaign expenditure and it's not reported.

Lisa Bloom tried to secure massive payments for Trump accusers from mysterious donors before the election and encouraged them to share their stories on shows which would pay

• Lisa Bloom represented four women who alleged misconduct against Trump
• Two never went public after going back and forth with her over texts and calls
• One came forward this week to tell how she tried to land her donations
• She said Bloom was in a hurry for her to speak out before the election and offered her $750,000 from one mysterious donor
• She also encouraged them to choose media outlets which would pay them because their contracts gave her a 33 percent cut of the fee
• Bloom insists the money was to be used to relocate or hire security and was not payment for speaking out against Trump
• One who did speak out against Trump had her $30,000 mortgage paid off
• She also received fees for licensing photos and Bloom took 33 percent of it
• The attorney prides herself on working pro-bono for sexual harassment victims
• She defended the payment offers and insisted the donors came to her 'out of the blue' after another woman backed out a November 2 press conference
• Bloom was hired by Harvey Weinstein shortly afterwards to defend him against accusations of sexual harassment

Maybe the accusers have DNA evidence like Monica Lewinsky had and was able to prove the Bill Clinton lied.

It is fraud.

 

[Mac1958]

It's reasonable to doubt the story of someone on this topic when they're selling it.

Subornation of perjury is a criminal offense. Ms. Bloom could go to prison over it, as well as being stripped of her license to practice law.
