Paying people off to avoid a scandal is perfectly legal

[Faun]

It's illegal if you don't report it.

When candidates use their personal funds for campaign purposes, they are making contributions to their campaigns. Unlike other contributions, these candidate contributions are not subject to any limits. They must, however, be reported.

Contributions made from the candidate’s personal funds must be reported. The reporting varies according to whether the personal funds of the candidate were loaned or contributed directly to the candidate’s authorized committee, or whether the funds were spent by the candidate out-of-pocket.

It wasn't a campaign expense, moron.

Uh...yep it was if it was used to pay off a person to prevent her from divulging information that might damage your campaign.
Moran.

Nope. The "information" would damage him personally.

How could it damage him personally? It’s public knowledge now and he hasn’t suffered personally.

Only an imbecile would make a claim like that.

LOLOL

Spits a ******* moron. ******* moron, how is trump personally suffering?

 

[strollingbones]

why dont we ask john edwards about this?

 

[JoeB131]

I'm not sure why, but it seems the Democrats think that paying off a woman to be quiet about a scandal is somehow illegal. Well, it isn't.

No, but failing to report it as a campaign expense is.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering what any of this has to do with collusion with Russia...

Did you wonder as hard what lying about an affair with an intern had to do with a failed land deal that happened when she was in grammar school?

Actually, unlike Ken Starr, Mueller has done this right. He uncovered this illegal activity by Trump associates, realized it wasn't directly connected to what he was investigating, and spun it off to someone who did have authority.

He didn't use campaign funds, moron.

Which is the problem, non-campaign funds were used for a campaign expense.

It wasn't a campaign expense, moron.

Of course it was. As you’ve been shown repeatedly, ”anything” of value for the purpose of influencing an election is a campaign contribution:

I've shown that we all have the right to own machine guns.

No, you’ve shown you’re a ******* moron. “anything” of value for the purpose of influencing an election is a campaign contribution.

By the same logic, I have the right to own a machine gun.

The chairman of the FEC says you're spewing horseshit. Why should anyone believe you rather than him?

You have to be the world's biggest ******* moron to believe a porn star claiming in the national media that she had sex with you wouldn't cause you any distress.

Read my lips.....Cohen said that he was ordered by the man that you call president to make the payment which was a FELON.

Your so called president is an unindicted co-conspirator. But it won't stop there. There are other charges looming on the horizon....like

Treason
Conspiracy against the United States
Money Laundering
Bank Fraud
Blackmail
Witness Tampering

And the list will go on. The Republican party will continue to hump trumps leg until they become the modern day Whig Party.

That song got boring two years ago, try a new one.

Please turn FIX news off and turn on any other news network. They are are blind as David Pecker used to be...

trump is losing friends like Don Rickles lost his hair....

How the Interview I Did with Stormy Daniels for "Trashy" Magazine Might Just Topple a President

That interview never saw the light of day until after she signed the NDA, go figure.

.

The editor didn't run it... but she talked about in 2011 and Trump didn't pay her off until October 2016. If he were trying to save his marriage by silencing her, he would have done it FIVE years prior.

The reporter sat on the story, according to your link the In Touch editorial staff didn't even know it existed, she told them through a friend who still worked there after the WSJ story broke. So no one knew she was looking for a payday till Pecker told Cohen she was. I wonder if she told Cohen that interview existed before taking the money?

.

Wrong.

"Despite the strong evidence, an editorial decision was made not to run the story."

How the Interview I Did with Stormy Daniels for "Trashy" Magazine Might Just Topple a President

Abuntantly clear that making a connection in the entertainment industry could lead to professional opportunity.

From the article. Clearly she did it for self gain using her porn star attributes for personal gain.

Regardless of when she blabbed about it, she intended to cash in on having sex with Trump at some point.

An NDA is a LEGAL way to pay off lawsuits. Whether signed or not accepting money for staying silent or Settling a Lawsuit isn't against the law. Businesses and individuals have been doing this a long time. Basing it off cost of settling versus court costs. It is a business decision.

Given that it was consensual sex Trump was under No Obligation to pay her 1 cent at all. And by the very article I read........ The ONLY reason for having sex with Trump was for LATER FINANCIAL GAIN.

Which is exactly why I called this whole dang thing EXTORTION. Or we could call it Blackmail. Both fit.

So now......the DEMS put it in context of campaign finance law. They must prove that Trump Authorized and PURPOSELY gave Campaign money for the pay off.

He's rich. And didn't need to use it. Prove it....

Everyone knows MSM is just a branch of the DNC.

But let’s follow your wild dreams.

Impeachment does not mean removal from office. But let’s pretend Trumps convicted of something and goes to prison.

Mike Pence becomes President.

Did Claptrap go to prison for the same thing??
Do we prosecute peolpe for leaking classified data??
Did we prosecute people for violation of citizens rights?? IRS??

So, your defense of Trump has come down to “yeah he did it but they are being unfair to him”?
