Michael Cohen's Porn Star Payment Just Left Trump Open to Criminal Charges

[TheMoreYouKnow]

President Donald Trump‘s personal attorney Michael Cohen addressed the payment of $130,000 that went to former pornographic film star Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels) in 2016. Cohen said that the payment to Clifford, who had claimed she had an affair with Trump soon after his wife Melania Trump gave birth to their son, came directly from him. In an apparent effort to show that the payment was legal, he made it clear that Trump’s campaign was not involved in the transaction. Ironically, however, Cohen’s very explanation could land Trump in serious trouble, and possibly vulnerable to criminal charges.

“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford,” Cohen told the New York Times, “and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly.” Cohen would not say what the payment was for, but other outlets have reported it was to prevent Clifford from speaking publicly about the alleged affair.

While Cohen was probably trying to put Trump in the clear by saying he had nothing to do with it, his very explanation paints a picture very similar to that of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

Edwards faced charges after it was alleged that he accepted and tried to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars that came from outside sources that were then used to cover up an affair he was having. Edwards was running for president at the time of the payments, and federal prosecutors claimed that the money should have been reported as campaign contributions. Such contributions also would have been in excess of the maximum amount allowed by individual donors, in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act.

Fake news

As ridiculous as this is, if it is even true, that someone paid a hoe to not go to the fake news (which ended up total fail for those who did) shouldn't all of Crooked Hillary and Slick Willie's multimillion dollar speaking engagements in Russia, etc., have been considered "campaign contributions?"

The deal the National Enquirer made for the Playmate’s story is similar. They paid $80,000 or thereabouts, and had her sign an exclusivity agreement for a story they never published. Staff call it a “catch and kill”.

Notice that Cohen doesn’t say that Donald Trump didn’t reimburse him for the payment, just that the Trump campaign didn’t reimburse him.

The publisher of the Enquirer is a friend of Trump’s. The Cohen payment is more troublesome for Trump. The Enquirer is in the business of buying salacious gossip and can reasonable argue they purchased the story in the normal course of business. Cohen has no such excuse.

why would they be?

it's money Bill earned legally for speaking fees, and Bill did not contribute/donate it to the Clinton campaign.

Actually, it was $150,000.

National Enquirer 'paid Karen McDougal $150k for story on Trump while he was married to Melania, but never published the account'

So much money is being spent to paying off these porn stars, that Filthy Don is continually force to sell his personal bling to his frothing Anti-American followers.

Melania has caught on the with jig. She is making sure that little autistic Barron will also get his before the older swindling sibling rip him off like they did with Tiffany.

These events just were another note for Mueller to investigate. Boy, there's a lot of money flowing around in weird places, here and there, in Filthy Don's immoral and unethical world.

Clinton’s speaking fees have nothing to do with campaign funds. The speaking fees from Russia went to the Clinton Foundation.

How about the millions to the magic Clinton foundation? The really fun stuff is how Obama cashed in. Ridiculing success and cashing in at the same. Same day, different clown.

Trump seems to piss off most tax payer funded government agencies, and that is fine with me. Government agencies need to get their shit together and stop appointing asses. How the hell do you miss the Florida shooter? You were explicitly told who, what and where.

Yep... yep, the government. Sigh.

President Trump could literally commit rape or murder and could not be prosecuted for it. Seriously. The president is actually above the law. I didn't realize this until we had a snake oil salesman for a president, but it's true. President Trump could himself go on a shooting rampage and the law could do nothing about it.

He would have to be impeached first, then prosecuted. And with the gutless republicans in office, I wager Trump could literally shoot someone on 5th Ave., or go on a casual murder spree, and they'd find some way to avoid impeachment. The 38% of Trump supporters certainly wouldn't let such savagery interfere with their slavish devotion (they'd probably think it made him more manly, and say the victims "deserved it") , and republicans don't seem to care about anyone else. Of course, you'd have mass riots in the streets, and probably more shootings of congressmen, but that's another story.

Is thread flaming making your breathing heavy yet?

The Donald and Stormy Daniels thing happened before he was running for President, how old is Barron now, this happened right after Barron was born so that's what 11 years, 12 years ago.

This entire thread is just another example of the Trump Derangement Crowd getting hysterical about The Donald having sexual relations with some woman, he did not rape her or anything, if it was a man he was ******* you would all think this was great.

President Trump’s Stormy Daniels problem is getting worse.

The porn star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, says she is ready to spill the beans about a 2006 extramarital sexual encounter with the president now that Michael Cohen, the president’s personal attorney, has acknowledged he paid her $130,000 to not discuss the allegations publicly.

Cohen, who spent years leading the legal team at the Trump Organization, has in the past described himself as the president’s “fix-it guy.”


A lawyer for Clifford says Cohen violated their nondisclosure agreement and that she’s preparing to tell the story in full. “Everything is off now and Stormy is going to tell her story,” said Gina Rodriguez, an attorney for Clifford.

Clifford’s accusations bring unwanted scrutiny to the Trumps' private life, and could also have legal ramifications.
