Spoiler Alert: Prosecutors' Tortuous Trump Case Is 'Confusing' to Nearly Everyone

You typically do not have solid opinions.
We the people have the right to important information on political figures. A single media outlet sequestering those stories from we the people, prevents us from getting the information needed to freely make informed opinions on those politicians.

Hilarious.
 
Holy fuck, are you retarded. Again... the misdemeanor becomes a felony for covering up a crime. I never said he was charged with a misdemeanor.

Spoiler Alert:

Prosecutors' Tortuous Trump Case Is 'Confusing' to Nearly Everyone

23 Apr 2024 ~~ By Victoria Taft

The first witness in Donald Trump's trial for alleged "criminal" bookkeeping errors came with National Enquirer-worthy titillations about what a hot commodity the former president was back in the day. Prosecutors thought they'd burst out of the gate with a little razzle-dazzle and T&A, hoping that jurors would believe the witness had anything to do with the actual charges in the case. This is because — spoiler alert — the prosecutors' actual case is a "confusing" distraction. It's the "Seinfeld" of legal cases.
But since a Manhattan jury will likely convict the former president because Orange Man Bad, here's what happened in court with the opening witness on truncated court sessions Monday and Tuesday.

David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified that he worked with Trump's lawyer to kill stories that hurt Trump's reputation or would be hurtful to his wife and family. This is the so-called catch-and-kill scheme, wherein sources would approach the Enquirer with an unflattering story about Trump (this applies to Hollywood stars and big shots), offer money to the people telling it, and then make the story disappear.
And it went something like this:
  • Pecker reportedly would alert Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, about the titillating story.
  • Cohen got three sources to sign a non-disclosure agreement for a sum of money.
  • Trump paid his legal bills, which covered Cohen's incurred costs plus more.
All of the above is legal.

The media have called this case a "hush money" case, but one of our crafty commenters called it the Hush Trump case. Touché. When a judge shuts up the defendant but not the other trial participants, you can't help but wonder if the fix is in. Where else will you read that in this censorious media world that we're living in?


Commentary:
Remembering when The Los Angeles Times “caught and killed” the story of Barack Obama’s banquet speech for Rashid Khalidi, which was on video. I bet that video is more damaging than sex with a stripper and had a bigger impact on the 2008 election than Daniels did in 2016. Nobody was prosecuted. Few even complained. The video is still in the vault.
THAT is not illegal. “Go away” settlements and NDAs are extremely common. The lying whorebag human toilet tried to milk a few dollars more out of him two weeks before the election.
130k to Trump is akin to me flipping a nickel to a bum who is annoying customers coming into my business. It’s a ridiculously small amount she accepted. That amount was offered because her lawyer knew it was so low no sane person would take it to court if they could make it go away for that trivial sum.
Nothing even slightly illegal about it.

Because it was an excessive campaign contribution in violation of the law.
Bullshit.
Trump paid a doorman $30,000. That wasn't a campaign contribution.
Trump paid Karen McDougle $150,000. That wasn't a campaign contribution.
Trump and Pecker had a personal agreement way before the 2016 election.
Spoiler Alert: Bragg's case falls apart.
 
Nope, the payment to Daniels was not legal. It was an illegal campaign contribution, for which Cohen was convicted and incarcerated. That means he wasn’t performing a legal service.

I guess the prosecution is going to have to produce a check made out to Daniel’s and signed by Trump.
Good luck with that.

Of course it was illegal. That's why Cohen went to jail for it, among other crimes; and why Pecker took an immunity deal to avoid prosecution. The limit is far less than those amounts.

Pecker paid the doorman.

Trump paid Karen McDougle $150,000. That wasn't a campaign contribution.

Pecker paid Karen McDougle.

Trump and Pecker had a personal agreement way before the 2016 election.
Spoiler Alert: Bragg's case falls apart.

Actually Peckers testimony yesterday very much supported the DA claim that Pecker, Cohen, and FPOTUS#45 conspired to interfere with the New York State election via illegal means.

Cohen was guilty of a crime and went to prison.

Pecker realized what he did was illegal and got a non-prosecution agreement for his crimes in exchange for turning over evidence.
