'He wrote all of it down?': Prosecutors claim to have handwritten notes of Trump hush money scheme

[Toddsterpatriot]

You do know that John Edwards was actually prosecuted, right?

This actually disproves your belief that there is selective prosecution. The only relevant example you can come up with was prosecuted!

And he was a Democrat too!

Prosecuted for using campaign donations, not personal funds.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Of course. Why do you guys omit the important one?

To bias people's feeling on the actions and try to make Joe Biden look bad, that's why.

If there is more than one possible reason, that sounds like reasonable doubt.

How soon you forget. I asked which part was a lie, and your only response was to log how you're daydreaming about dicks. See previous posts if you need to, and be sure to see my applicable signature.

The only actual factual stuff from HB's laptop were his dick pics.
Since that was all that was real that was what you were discussing.
Everything else? A lie, LIAR.

So you just go on with your HB fantasies.
We promise not to know on the door till you're finished.

You don't know what you're talking about.

They didn't use campaign funds, a donor fronted the money and kept off the campaign books.

A shout out to Big Al for keeping copious records of the hush money payment. The prosecution's case is made a little easier. It kinda makes a mockery of Trump's denial he didn't schtoink Stormy. Sorry Melania, you married an unfaithful pig of a man.

Because Cohen illegally declared the reimbursement as income Trump eventually paid him extra money.

In Payroll spheres it's call "Gross Up" where the payments is increased to cover the receivers expected tax liability (Federal and State). So at the end of the day the individual ends up with an amount equal to (or close) to the desired amount post tax.

Let's say for example someone takes our a HELOC for $130,000 to pay a porn star for an NDA to protect a clients political campaign. The candidate will them reimburse the individual after the election. If the candidate pays the individual $130,000, the individual will lose money.

Using the $130,000 reimbursement as an example, if the individual pays 32% Income Taxes then for spending $130,000 the individual receives back $130,000 that is then claimed as income resulting in $41,600 in taxes leaving $88,400 in his pocket.

Cohen reported too much income and paid too much tax?

I don't think there as been any claim that Cohen didn't claim the money paid by the Trump Organization on his taxes.

Sounds better than what he went to jail for, not paying taxes.

His tax fraud conviction was for taxi medallions, not the money FPOTUS#45 paid back for boinking a porn star.

Donor money instead of personal funds still sounds more serious.

Meh, that's Bragg's contention. For you there is only one explanation possible, and that's the one that is least favorable to Trump.

And you are beng contrarian out of loyalty to your orange mangod, but know I am correct.

Well that was easy.

The misdemeanors will be easy to prove. For the reasons I mentioned.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Prosecuted for using campaign donations, not personal funds.

So, what Cohen basically did.

Your whataboutism is off target.

Right, he paid income tax on non-income.

His tax fraud conviction was for taxi medallions,

He concealed millions in income.

He bonked Stormy and in an effort to keep it from hurting his election chances, he had Cohen pay her off. Then he falsified records to conceal the pay off. Cohen went to jail for his dirty deeds in behalf of trump. Now it is the fat sleepy assholes turn on the hot seat.

That's not a crime.

You're basically off target.

 

[Nostra]

The documents detailed three “hush money” payments made to a series of individuals to guarantee their silence about potentially damaging stories in the months before the election. Because this was done with the goal of helping his election chances, the case implied, these payments amounted to a form of illegal, undisclosed campaign spending. And, Bragg argued, because Trump created paperwork to make the payments seem like regular legal expenses, that amounted to a criminal effort at a coverup.

Hitlery paid a law firm to buy a fake Russian dossier to help her election chances.

Hmmmm............................

Spin away, Simp.

Hmm, no, Cohen's acts were a campaign contribution. That was campaign money he paid to Stormy. He went to jail for it.

I'm not here to give remedial education on the topic, though.

Right, he paid income tax on non-income.

You don't owe income taxes on non-income.

The way they ran it through the Trump Organization, it would show up with the IRS and State Department as income since "Attorney's Fee's" which are classified as income generating a 1099 to the IRS.

His tax fraud conviction was for taxi medallions,

He concealed millions in income.

No disagreement there.

The reimbursement was not income.

Yes, it looked like income, it wasn't income.
