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

[j-mac]

Not for much longer... indictments are a comin'

So, you hope…

 

[Mac1958]

Wow. You are wrong almost as much Trump...and I don't say that lightly.

"But that’s not always how the law works. In New York, the clock can stop on the statute of limitations when a potential defendant is continuously outside the state. Trump visited New York rarely over the four years of his presidency and now lives mostly in Florida and New Jersey."

The New York hush-money probe of Donald Trump explained

More than six years after Donald Trump's lawyer paid off a porn star, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether the former president should face charges in connection with that payoff.

Well, like every other accusation that's flying around, they gotta prove it. This one really smells weird. It starts, it stops, it starts again, strange stories pop up.

I wish there were a faster way to come to final conclusions, one way or the other, on stuff like this. The process is slow as hell.

Your ignorance of the 5th Amendment of the US Consttitition, making it legally mandatory for the prosecution to provide the defense with ALL information, is duly noted.

Recently Biden's judicial nominees have been humilitated before Congress due to their inability to explain what the 5th Amendment is.

Congrats - you are as smart as a Biden Judicial appointee.

provide the defense with ALL information, is duly noted.

Bullshit.

They are obliged to provide what is requested in discovery...it is also expected that they act in "good faith"

Who is telling you this?

 

[The5thHorseman]

Yeah right…

Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin to be removed, per the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency that has worked closely with the FBI.

In 2014, Shokin had investigated Burisma for money laundering and tax irregularities, per USA TODAY.

The probe focused on 2010-12, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hunter Biden — who joined the board in 2014 and served on it until early 2019 — was not the subject of the investigation.

[The5thHorseman]

What’s Trump been charged with?…Nothing. Next?

Answer the question, coward.

 

[Godboy]

So, um, Cohen Paid Daniels $130,000 (and money to other women) and Trump paid him $420,000 for no legal work actually done, and you guys can't connect the dots?

Its not up to us to connect the dots. Thats the investigators job. If they cant do it, no charges will come.

 

[Couchpotato]

So, um, Cohen Paid Daniels $130,000 (and money to other women) and Trump paid him $420,000 for no legal work actually done, and you guys can't connect the dots?

Lets assume that Cohen paid 2000 women 2 gazillion dollars to keep quiet about their sexual affairs with Trump. Let's also assume Trump paid Cohen back that 2 gazillion dollars and an additional gazillion for his trouble. Thats not illegal. The only misdemeanor part of this is how the transaction was recorded. If the Manhattan DA wanted to bring charges for that they should have done it 3 years ago before the statute of limitations ran out.

 

[Faun]

OK, fine....Where's the crime?

Not reporting it as a campaign finance.

Thank you for proving you don't know shit

The law requires the disclosure of exculpatory and impeachment evidence when such evidence is material to guilt or punishment.
Constitutional obligation to ensure a fair trial and disclose material exculpatory and impeachment evidence. Government disclosure of material exculpatory and impeachment evidence is part of the constitutional guarantee to a fair trial.

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.

Bragg was under no obligation to share exculpatory evidence with that grand jury.

 

[Faun]

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?

The statute of limitations have not expired. New York pauses that ticking clock when people under it leave the state.

In NY? It becomes a felony if the misdemeanor was to cover up another crime. Statute of limitations on a felony is 5 years and the clock pauses while such suspect is out of NY.

If so, Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again.

EXCLUSIVE: Is this the smoking gun? Letter from Michael Cohen claiming Donald Trump did NOT reimburse him for hush money paid to Stormy Daniels appears to fly in the face of the star witness's grand jury testimony​

• Bombshell document, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, could cripple prosecutors pursuit of criminal charges against Trump over payments to Stormy Daniels
• Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, is the star witness in the case over which Trump reportedly faces imminent arrest for campaign finance violations
• But in a February 2018 letter Cohen’s attorney wrote that ‘Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds’ and that ‘neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Mr. Cohen'

Bombshell letter from Michael Cohen claims Trump didn't reimburse him

LOL Yes, this was part of the cover-up that landed Cohen in jail. Do you idiots really think the DA hasn't taken this into consideration?

As George Conway points out...something more relevant would be Jr. signature on the check to Cohen.

In short, they must act in "good faith"...

Note that it doesn't say anything about a responsibility to provide "all information".

Not in NY...

U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Williams (1992)

Federal courts do not have the supervisory power to require prosecutors to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury.

That's at the Federal level. New York is the same...

People v. Filis

Defendant moves to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that the People failed to present exculpatory evidence to the Grand Jury.

[...]

An analysis of these decisions furnishes no support for the proposition that a failure to promptly present exculpatory evidence early in the trial stage furnishes a basis for a dismissal in the interests of justice. This being the case, defendant's application lacks merit under the criteria set down in People v Clayton ( 41 A.D.2d 204).

The defendant's application is therefore denied in its entirety.​

Your attempt to save face is almost as pathetic as your reading comprehension:

Fail, moron.
