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

[SeaMajor7]

The demented LEFT have no sense of self-awareness whatsoever.
Look at this thread; clearly a grasping of floor scraps from their kitchen of cooked up lawfare.
They have nothing to run on other than Orange Man BAD.
What's (not so) funny is that these very same tactics can and will be used against THEM if they establish this "new normal" Marxist Leninist revolution that they are striving for.
Trotsky thought he was all in too........

 

[Chillicothe]

Bears repeating. So let's get a double-scoop:

• Trump University: Shut down for fraud.
• Trump Organization: Shut down for fraud.
• Trump Foundation: Shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality".
• 2020 election: Fraudulent electors in seven states.

• Trump Corporation: convicted of 17 felonies

Always scraping the bottom of the barrel, in search of TDS new....as this thread shows...

It gets dull....yawn

A feature of dullards is a failure to examine the facts in the event they challenge predisposed beliefs. And compartmentalizing those facts in to fatuous memes to excuse the lack of examination......as your post shows.

Read this you lying dumbass.

Trump Can't Live Full-Time at Mar-A-Lago Because of 1993 Covenant

In 1993 Donald Trump reached a "use agreement" with Palm Beach Florida that restricted the use of Mar-A-Lago. This document appears to be a covenant.

reason.com

In 1993 Donald Trump reached a "use agreement" with Palm Beach Florida that restricted the use of Mar-A-Lago. This document appears to be a covenant. Article II, titled "Club use," imposes restrictions on the use of the guest suites on the property:

The use of guest suites shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) non-consecutive seven (7) day periods by any one member during the year.

Generally, Article II empowers Trump. Here, it restricts him. In other words, a member can only live in a guest suit for three, non-consecutive one-week periods. The intent here is to prevent Mar-A-Lago from being used as a permanent home. Or, to put it in Property lingo, Orangeacre shall not be used for residential purposes. (Blackacre just didn't seem to fit here). And, the document was signed by President Donald J. Trump. (President of the Mar-A-Lago Club, Inc., that is).

Does the covenant only apply to members of MAL? IOW, can stolen classified documents being hidden from the US government reside there for an extended period of time?

Actually it was a campaign expense. Testimony at trial was that Trump wanted to delay the Stormy payments until after the election and then stiff her saying that once the election was over it didn't matter if the story came out. But they threatened to walk so 11 days before the election they paid (via Cohen).

That testimony about attempting to stiff Daniels showed that the purpose of the payment was to benefit the campaign. Now a candidate can make unlimited contributions to their own campaign, but, they have to report it to their campaign finance people that gets reported to the FEC.



NDAs are legal, Trump wasn't charged with having an NDA. He was charged with felony falsification of business records.

And yes, the the company I once worked for NDA related to the function of the business were a legal expense. So for example NDAs with out design engineers were common. An NDA about boinking a porn star at a Las Vegas Golf Tournament isn't a business related expense.

Here is the funny thing. If he had NOT tried to launder the payments through his business and just pulled the $150,000 from his personal account, given the money to Cohen, and had her pay with that? There would have been no illegal activity under New York Business law to charge. (Of course he would still be required to report it as a campaign expense to the FEC, but that is a different matter.)



Campaign fraud. Or more technically "illegal campaign contribution". Cohen, Pecker, and Trump conspired to commit illegal acts. Cohen was charged and convicted of the illegal activity in federal court and went to prison, Pecker got a non-prosecution agreement to turn over evidence.

Actually it was a campaign expense.

Why do you feel that?

That testimony about attempting to stiff Daniels showed that the purpose of the payment was to benefit the campaign.

Lots of things "benefit" a campaign. Doesn't make them campaign expenses. Or fraud. Or illegal.

Now a candidate can make unlimited contributions to their own campaign, but, they have to report it to their campaign finance people that gets reported to the FEC.

When does that report have to be filed?

NDAs are legal, Trump wasn't charged with having an NDA. He was charged with felony falsification of business records.

What makes it a felony?

Campaign fraud. Or more technically "illegal campaign contribution".

No one was defrauded. Thanks.

Cohen, Pecker, and Trump conspired to commit illegal acts.

An NDA isn't an illegal act. Neither is paying someone and then not printing the story.

Cohen was charged and convicted of the illegal activity in federal court and went to prison,

He went to prison for hiding $4 million in income, not for paying for an NDA.

He could NOT call it a "Campaign Expense", because it was not.

I agree no campaign expense means the Bragg case should be tossed.

But he tried and failed to make those payments a "Business Expense.".

NDAs are a business expense. Deductible even.

Michael Cohen has copies of the checks issued to him by Diaper Don to cover what he Cohen paid out. That is fraud.

Who was defrauded?

Don't feed the sealions.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

He went to prison for hiding $4 million in income, not for paying for an NDA.

He was convicted of campaign finance violations.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

He was convicted of campaign finance violations.

The plea was entered followed the filing of an eight-count criminal information, which alleged that COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the IRS, made false statements to a federally-insured financial institution in connection with a $500,000 home equity loan, and, in 2016, caused $280,000 in payments to be made to silence two women who otherwise planned to speak publicly about their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate, thereby intending to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty In Manhattan Federal Court To Eight Counts, Including Criminal Tax Evasion And Campaign Finance Violations

Almost all of those were actual crimes.
