paying legal fees isn’t a crimeThis isn’t about ‘paying off’ a prostitute to keep her silent.
“Hush money payments aren’t illegal. Prosecutors are weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying the business records of the Trump Organization for how it reflected the reimbursement of the payment to Michael Cohen, Trump’s then-fixer who said he advanced the money to Daniels. Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor in New York.
Prosecutors are also weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records in the first degree for falsifying a record with the intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal another crime, which in this case could be a violation of campaign finance laws. That is a Class E felony and carries a sentence of a minimum of one year and as much as four years.”

No one is above the law – including Trump; charging Trump would be perfectly appropriate and warranted.
paying fees to a lawyer that committed a crime could be a crime in itself, if intentional.paying legal fees isn’t a crime
they clearly are desperate hence the invite…
when a lawyer sends you a bill, it's not a crime to pay it.paying fees to a lawyer that committed a crime could be a crime in itself, if intentional.
but certainly fraudulently recording this transaction on business records is a crime.
It was worse than that. The National Enquirer actually went out of its way to capture and kill Trump's affair with the Playboy model.Nah. Everybody knows he paid off the whore to keep it out of the papers, before the election, so as not to be known as a guy who cheats on his wife, and have it offend the religious right, before they went to the polls. We didn't know he always had to pay off his whores, every time he cheated on his wife. The guy just isn't big on vows, or oaths or fidelity.
Don't get me wrong. He will take one in a heartbeat. He just thinks honoring one is optional.
It is an in kind campaign contribution, dipshit. A violation of election laws.when a lawyer sends you a bill, it's not a crime to pay it.
There was nothing fraudulently about paying a legal bill that was sent to you
yes, for cohen. he then billed the trump organization for it. He was a horrible cheating lawyer…that must be why the dems love him so much nowIt is an in kind campaign contribution, dipshit. A violation of election laws.
Well, aware. They will never get a prosecution on that one.It was worse than that. The National Enquirer actually went out of its way to capture and kill Trump's affair with the Playboy model.
And then they actively participated in helping Trump pay off the porn star, acting as intermediaries.
Strangely, no Republicans are demanding any hearings about this media censorship of the truth. They are too busy setting their dicks on fire over Twitter burying a story for TWO WHOLE DAYS.
Wow. Your obtuseness if profound.yes, for cohen. he then billed the trump organization for it. He was a horrible cheating lawyer…that must be why the dems love him so much now
that’s not what the federal govt found when they investigated this already.Wow. Your obtuseness if profound.
Everything Trump's "fixer" did, he did for Trump. So if you think Cohen is sleazy, then you have to realize his boss was the sleaze-in-chief.
"Your obtuseness is profound."
So NY may be the first to indict the former guy, and it would be because he paid off a hooker? Really?
Doesn't sound like a very good idea to me, all things considered. Smerconish nails it:
