WSJ: Prosecutors have evidence Trump personally involved in paying off mistresses

[Kondor3]

...And I'm gonna guess that you don't care that Hillary illegally funneled over a million bucks to pay for the Steele dossier, right?

You guessed wrong... indict 'em both... put 'em both on trial... convict both of 'em... lock 'em BOTH up... gotta be fair.

 

[Kondor3]

Nothing will come of this.

Because its not illegal.

Unless you count illegal Campaign Fund activity and failures to disclose.

When you pay off some bimbo with your own personal money its not a campaign expense, and requires no campaign disclosure. Legal experts have already weighed in on this, citing many prior examples by other politicians.

I'll wait until a Grand Jury reviews all that...

'President Trump directed or was personally involved in multiple payments of hush money to women claiming to have had sexual encounters with him — potentially breaking campaign finance laws, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Why it matters: We’re now starting to get a picture of what Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, tabloid exec David Pecker and former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg have been telling federal prosecutors, Axios' Jonathan Swan says.

What to know: New York City federal prosecutors wrote up an 80-page draft indictment in August to be used against Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, which outlined Cohen's coordination with undisclosed Trump campaign members via phone calls and meetings about the payments to women claiming sexual relationships. Sources familiar with the document told the Wall Street Journal that the unnamed campaign member was Trump himself.

How he did it:

• In 2015, Trump asked American Media CEO Pecker to help him with his campaign. Pecker offered to use the National Enquirer to silence women who claim to have had sexual relationships with Trump, according to WSJ. He eventually paid $150,000 to model Karen McDougal, who claimed to have had an affair with Trump years before.
• Cohen has also reportedly told prosecutors that he discussed with Trump the payments to former porn star Stormy Daniels in the weeks leading up to it, and how to ensure it could not be traced back to the then-presidential candidate.

The bottom line: In order to be guilty of federal campaign finance crimes, Trump would have had to used more than $2,700 worth of campaign contributions from companies or individuals in these payments, Richard Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, told WSJ.'

Interesting.

Trumpbots...start your spinning.

I don't understand your problem.
At all times in history you had to pay off mistresses.
If you could afford any.
Mayb this is your problem.

Yes. That certainly seems to be your hope. I think I'll wait until more competent authority weighs-in on that.

Why on earth should i care about Trumps mistresses?

 

[Godboy]

I apologize if I misread your post.

Being a right wing slanted board. I assumed you were defending him.

I should know better to assume.

I will erase my post.

Wow. Integrity. That's seldom encountered on these political discussion sites. Thank you!

It doesnt take integrity to apologize for mistaking one of your own for the enemy. Lets see if he has the integrity to admit hes wrong to someone on the right, then we can talk about integrity.

Definitely must agree with this. I will step out on a branch here and assume that you, yourself, have apologized to someone on the left when you've mistakenly accused him/her of something. If you'll post a link to that exchange, I'll be pleased to put a positive up vote thing on it.

 

[justinacolmena]

Extortion? Blackmail?
False accusations?
Tampering with the jury?
Bribing the judge?
Intimidating witnesses?

The ladies took the hush money.

Now they "come forward" and speak out? Not a good position to be in.

Wrong.

Obviously you do not know what the word 'integrity' even means.

'integrity
noun

in·teg·ri·ty | \in-ˈte-grə-tē \
Definition of integrity

1: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : '

Definition of INTEGRITY

By definition, if I failed to apologize to 'one of my own' (even though I am an indy - so have no idea what 'one of my own' would be), that would remove the possibility of having integrity.

Unless you can prove that a) I have wronged someone else (whatever childish 'side' they are on) and believed I did AND b) I have NOT yet apologized for said wrong doing...than you cannot prove that I (or anyone else) does not have integrity.

I am not - for one second - saying I have integrity.

But saying I (or anyone else) do not when you have zero, unbiased, factual proof that I do not is nonsensical.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Trump is fat, stupid, racist, xenophobic, a mega-liar, misogynistic, threatens people, cons millions, openly craves his eldest daughter, breaks marital vows with reckless abandon, inherited almost everything he got (but lies about it), ducked the draft (yet insults vets simply for being captured), is lousy at business (multiple bankruptcies and failed companies) and is incredibly self-centred.

Is there ANYTHING admirable about this pathetic loser?

He's the POTUS

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Nothing will come of this.

Which is the problem.

Americans have become numb to Trump’s lies, dishonesty, and corruption.

Just like we've become numb to your bullshit.

Is there ANYTHING good about this pathetic loser?

He saved us from Hillary The Hag and the Clinton Crime Family.

More importantly he gets you all wee wee'd up and that is funny.

Need a tissue darling?

He helped convince you that a Clinton Crime Family was a real thing He didn't do you any favors.

It's not illegal to buy and kill a story, it's not illegal to enter into a nondisclosure agreement. Do you have any evidence of real crimes?
