Is this the "smoking gun"? Letter from Cohen stating Trump did not reimburse him for Stormy Daniels payment

[nomadic5]

This is meaningless. ASSUME that Cohen paid the Slut to be quiet, at Trump's request. Who cares? The legal theory of the case is that any expenditure that could conceivably have a political benefit must be treated as a campaign contribution. This legal theory is totally discredited. NOBODY IN U.S. HISTORY has ever been convicted on this basis. EVEN IF THEY GET A TOTALLY COMPROMISED NEW YORK JURY, the conviction would be quickly overturned on appeal. All Trump has to say is that he paid her to avoid embarrassing his wife. Case closed. No political intent.

It doesn't matter what Cohen says, or whether he is "credible" or whether he is legally competent. The underlying theory is nonsense and cannot fly.

that's been my thought on the topic

What a sleazy witch... advertising for yet another X rated movie she's in. Why doesn't she start thinking about what'sgoing to happen to her soul after death? Shallow ho

“So, Mr. Cohen, we’re you lying then or are you lying now?”

'....and while thinking about how to answer the question, are you planning to lie AGAIN?'

Democrats want the case prosecuted based on this ASSUMPTON.

Too bad 'assumptions' not supported by evidence are mot allowed in court.

Doesn't matter, though.

Bragg has
- No Authority
- No Jurisdiction
- No Evidence
- No witness
- No case:

The statute of limitations has run out.

Second, Government overreach? Are you kidding with that? Overreach is all you people know when it concerns Trump. Not one but two bogus impeachments, and now going after him post Presidency, while the country burns is the definition of overreach….

Both Impeachments were justified... and a lot more serious than "lying about a blow job" which is what you got Clinton on.
By your own standards, Trump should go down, because what he did with Daniels was a lot worse than anything Bill did with Monica.

Lastly, you DID go after Trump in 16 for this crap, it failed then, and will fail now….loser.

The only reason Trump didn't go to jail in 16 was he was elected. Arresting a sitting president is a near impossibility.

Now that he's out of office, he's fair game.

He has Trump on tape conspiring to pay hush money... he really doesn't need credibility, just to verify the tape is true.

Likely the charge is not the payment to stormy, but instead, falsifying business records.

Where's the crime, professor?

You do know that two other prosecutors have passed on this fart in the wind, don't you?

I'm sorry. Does that have anything to do with you swallowing the lies your 'sources' have told you or ignoring the truth when it is posted right there for you to see? Or how you reject pictures of Trumps own statements making the OP a direct bullshit claim?

No, no it does not. You only deflect here because, like the fact you are too ashamed to even mention where you get your information from, you are too ashamed to admit you have no clue about anything.

 

[nomadic5]

Actually, they'd rapidly lose interest and find another Republican to demonize if he announced tomorrow that he's not running for president again. That's really what they're after because they're scared to death he would win and they would have to scream at the sky again.

and God says

It's time for some rain... maybe these *&^%$# will drown like in the Flood

(just kidding, God... You can take a joke, right?)

Good thing this assumption is backed up by Trump himself then.

 

[easyt65]

LOCAL DA attempting to prosecute a FEDERAL misdemeanor campaign finance violation - one the DOJ has refused to pursue, citing 'there is nothing to prosecute' - whose statute of limitations has run out.

And now Bragg has just been caught violating the 5th Amendment by withholding 600 pages of exculpatory evidence from the Grand Jury, which should (and usually would) result in his disbarrment.

'You've got him THIS time, snowflakes!'

What exculpatory evidence>

1) Trump had sex with Daniels.
2) He paid her to keep silent to prevent it from wrecking his campaign.
3) He then failed to disclose the payment on his campaign finance form.

None of these facts are really in dispute.

He is in violation of NY Law in addition to whatever Federal Laws his own Justice Department declined to prosecute.

None of that has to do with the 5th Amendment violation Bragg perpetrated or the 600 pages of exculpatory evidence he hid from the Grand Jury.

I understsnd Democrats and snowflakes hate the Constitution and Rule of Law - without them you would have taken down Trump 6 yeats sgo.

Unfortunately for you, you haven't gotten rid of them yet.

Cohen can't keep track of his lies!
Neither can USMB member Bidenista's!!

F'in losers.

 

[struth]

You realize that's irrelevant even if true, right? Trump is in legal hot water for not reporting it as a campaign contribution. So even had he not known initially, he did become aware at some point and was obligated to report it to the FEC.

Trump knew that even if you don't as evidenced by him trying to deny it was a campaign contribution. Now it appears a grand jury will make that decision.

why hasn’t the FEC done anything?

the only people who have been fined recently have been the dnc, clinton and obama

 

[easyt65]

If there is evidence trump is breaking the law, he needs to be prosecuted. Or do you not believe in the rule of law?

The DOJ - who has jurisdiction here, not Bragg - already investigated, already said there is nothing to prosecute, confirmed the statute of limitations hascrun out, and refused to prosecute the case.

Bragg has no authority.

The Statute of Limitations is over.

Bragg just violated the 5th Amendment.

Don't YOU believe in the Rule of Law?

This is likely about an illegal business transaction, not a campaign finance violation.

The statute of limitations has exceptions, like when a person is out of state for much of the time.

And now Bragg has just been caught violating the 5th Amendment by withholding 600 pages of exculpatory evidence from the Grand Jury, which should (and usually would) result in his disbarrment.

He was not caught, you're just gullable.

Another empty post from you where you can't support your own claims.

"When Trump reimbursed Cohen for the payment, his company logged the payments as a "monthly retainer" for Cohen's legal services, according to Trump and court documents from Cohen's subsequent plea deal. Prosecutors are considering whether Trump should be charged with falsifying business records, sources say."

The Manhattan DA's investigation into Trump and the Stormy Daniels hush payment, explained

A hush money payment made seven years ago is at the center of a probe that could potentially result in criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

When the precedent is to use the legal system to destroy a political opponent, it's not a good precedent to set.

That's an assumption for which you have not provided evidence.
