Trump Used Sham Invoices To Pay Off Mistresses

[Skylar]

No, that is not what Cohen pled guilty to. You can't report a contribution which exceeds the legal limit, dipshit.

Stop making a public fool of yourself.

There is no legal limit to the amount a candidate can contribute.

If Trump had wanted to give a billion dollars, it would have been legal for him to do so.

Trump didn't donate the money to his campaign. The funds were funneled through Michael Cohen.

A crime. With Trump a co-conspirator in that crime. And all the fraud associated with it.

You want to know something really weird?

Rambunctious made the claim a few weeks ago that he never heard anyone calling for Obama's impeachment, and I burned his lie then, too.

And he dared to tell the same lie AGAIN today!

What a fucking dipshit asshole loser.

 

[OODA_Loop]

No, he plead guilty to making the contribution:

No your wrong. He didnt. Read counts 7 and 8 of Plea Agreement.

Plead to not disclosing it as campaign contributions and the amount. Both of which charges are tacit approval of the payment by USDOJ.

Count 7 is willfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution

Count 8 is making an excessive campaign contribution.

Says who? Says the actual plea agreement.

Document: Michael Cohen Plea Agreement

You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

Reporting it would have made Count 7 legal.

Trump’s company approved $420,000 in payments to Cohen, relying on ‘sham’ invoices, prosecutors say

President Trump’s real estate company authorized paying $420,000 to lawyer Michael Cohen in his effort to silence women during the presidential campaign and then relied on “sham” invoices from Cohen that concealed the nature of the payments, according to legal filings released Tuesday.

The payments began flowing in February 2017, soon after Trump took office, when Cohen approached Trump Organization executives seeking to be reimbursed for “election-related” expenses, prosecutors said.


"B-b-b-b-b-but Hillary!"

"B-b-b-b-b-but sham invoices are legal! I'm a certified election expert!"

"Look! A rabid Mexican squirrel!"

Is that illegal child?

It demonstrates an attempt to hide the transaction. Which will destroy 'but we did this accidentally and didn't mean to violate the law' claims.

The point is that if it wasn't campaign funds it doesn't matter. It is what it is, you got all excited yesterday for nothing.

it matters if it was Trump's business and not his personal money, it matters if he did not claim the donation on his tax returns and proper forms as a donation to his own campaign costs etc etc etc....

he ain't off the hook on this....

he also is a BIG FAT LIAR.... he's on his 5th or 6th STORY, made up story on what happened... why all the fricking LYING if he ''did nothing wrong''?

 

[g5000]

It is very simple.

1) Cohen paid money to Stormy Daniels in order to affect the outcome of the election. He used his own money. It was not Trump's money. Therefore, that was a campaign contribution from Cohen to the Trump campaign. Most importantly, the amount exceeded the legal limit. And that is why Cohen is guilty.

2) Trump directed Cohen to make the illegal campaign contribution. That makes Trump part of a conspiracy involving an illegal campaign contribution in an attempt to affect the outcome of an election.

3) After he won the rigged election, Trump funneled money to Cohen by fraud.

Is everyone all caught up now?

Even if this is true -- so what?

How does Trump, or any other wealthy man, harm anyone by paying for some high-priced pussy? Hiring concubines is a perfectly normal activity and is something which has been done throughout history. Does anyone think un-attached wealthy women do not have gigolos on the payroll in some "housekeeping" capacity? If our society was not so damn hypocritical and pretensiously moral this would not be an issue. It is simply something that should be expected. Men who have a lot of money are inclined to spend it on electric trains and big tits.

 

[g5000]

Even if this is true -- so what?

It's a crime, that's what.

It makes Trump an illegitimate President, that's what.

How does Trump, or any other wealthy man, harm anyone by paying for some high-priced pussy?

Ask Melania and the kids. I can't believe you actually had to ask!

Ask any Family Values™ or evangelical Republican. Oh wait, we can't seem to find them any more.

A crime. With Trump a co-conspirator in that crime. And all the fraud associated with it.

I disagree. It would have been improper and illegal for his campaign to pay this blackmail expense.

In any event, where's the crime? Mr. Trump relied on the expertise of his lawyer to tell him the correct and legal way to make the payment. If Cohen lied to Trump to entrap him, how is this a crime for the Trumpster?

BTW, this entire issue was hashed out already in the John Edwards trial from a few years back. Edwards was found innocent for supposedly illegal payments to his baby's mother.

Blackmail?

Um, who is claiming blackmail? Trump isn't. Cohen isn't. So what orifice did you just pull that claim from?

Excessive campaign contributions.

Unless you're claiming that Cohen plead guilty to something that isn't a crime.

The GOP nominated a boy scout in 2012, the disgustingly decent Mitt Romney. The man couldn't fight back when he was accused of being the next Hitler and Mittski ended up getting schlonged royally by Obama.

The Republicans aren't insane, they weren't going to do the same thing if they wanted a different result.

Nope. The jury did not acquit Edwards. It was a hung jury and the prosecution did not seek to try him again.

The FEC directed Edwards to repay $2.1 million in federal matching funds.

We will just have to see who is telling the Truth

Do you think Cohen may have kept a paper trail?

 

[Polishprince]

Excessive campaign contributions.

Unless you're claiming that Cohen plead guilty to something that isn't a crime.

There is no limit to what a candidate can contribute to his own campaign.

Sure, Cohen did exactly that- pleaded guilty to something that wasn't a crime because that's what Mueller wanted. Since its a "guilty" it won't be litigated or proven.

There is a long list of witnesses, and a paper trail, to corroborate Cohen's testimony.

That's why the parroting Rube Herd's attempts to portray Cohen as a liar is weak sauce.

Fox News, et al., is keeping the Rube Herd totally in the dark.

Please see post 108 before making more of a public fool of yourself.

You Trumpies have all been parroting the same bullshit meme all fucking day. You have been misled by your propagandists. Don't get back in line for more of their piss. You look stupid.

 

[Polishprince]

What a fascinating admission!

not that fascinating to people of average intelligence.

Trump's supporters knew 40 years ago that he was a Big City , jet setting playboy.

But the reason why they love him and support isn't because he is one of them. But because he loves and respects them.

When Mrs. Clinton is calling the people "the Basket of Deplorables clinging to their bibles and firearms" and Mr. Trump is calling them "patriotic salt of the earth Americans who are the backbone of the country", they know who their friends are. And that's why all of this crap is a waste if you libs think you'll get Trump.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

ZOMG! Trump used the wrong paper invoice.

We got him this time! Part 5,092,456

Hillary = President
