The Notorious “catch and kill" campaign: Turning the National Enquirer into an arm of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign

[Nostra]

The indictment doesn’t specify the potential underlying crimes because the law doesn’t require it.

It is standard to not only list it, but charge it since it is typically more serious than the misdemeanors that expired.

 

[struth]

So in NY it is illegal to promote anyone for election?

Yes, apparently if you promote anyone not in the Demfascist party

This is no different then Germany in the 1930s

 

[Faun]

No statute mentioned.

Try again, Simp.

LOL

I swear, Dumbfuck, your IQ must be in the low teens.

You said the indictment didn't show the underlying crime so I showed you the crimes mentioned in the statement of facts.

Now you ***** and moan because it only describes the crimes but doesn't provide statute numbers. Dumbfuck, it's not an indictment that would include Statutes it's a statement of facts.

Statutes are included in indictments to show which statute(s) a defendant is charged with. But Trump isn't charged with the underlying crime. How do you not ******* now that by now??

Have you no shame that you don't care how retarded you look?

For anyone who is truly interested in sharing info and arguing civilly, The trial is unfolding. The indictment lists crimes.

The indictment doesn’t specify the potential underlying crimes because the law doesn’t require it. It comes out during trial, as is happening now.


Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said the prosecution of Donald Trump for felony falsification of business records is based on the belief that fake records were created to cover up an underlying violation of New York state election law.

Under state law, falsifying business records is a misdemeanor, unless it is done to further or conceal another crime. Then it can be charged, as it was in Trump’s case, as a felony. In the Trump case, prosecutors have often been vague about what, exactly, is the underlying crime that was allegedly being concealed or furthered in the hush money case.

At a hearing Tuesday, Steinglass said the statute in question is New York state election law 17-152 — conspiracy to promote or prevent an election. That law makes it a misdemeanor when two or more people “conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.”

Steinglass said the entire prosecution theory “is predicated on the idea that there was a conspiracy to influence the election in 2016.”

I guess you are too stupid to comprehend when someone asks what the crime is he is asking for the statute.

Holy shit moron!

So not only is it illegal to promote someone for election in NY, but is a conspiracy for a candidate to try to influence the election.

Just when you think NY can't get any dumber.

What I Saw Working at The National Enquirer During Donald Trump’s Rise - By Lachlan Cartwright

Inside the notorious “catch and kill” campaign that now stands at the heart of the former president’s legal trial.

I pulled up the indictment and the statement of facts on my iPhone. At the center of the case is the accusation that Trump took part in a scheme to turn The National Enquirer and its sister publications into an arm of his 2016 presidential campaign. The documents detailed three “hush money” payments made to a series of individuals to guarantee their silence about potentially damaging stories in the months before the election. Because this was done with the goal of helping his election chances, the case implied, these payments amounted to a form of illegal, undisclosed campaign spending. And, Bragg argued, because Trump created paperwork to make the payments seem like regular legal expenses, that amounted to a criminal effort at a coverup. Trump has denied the charges against him.

www.nytimes.com

The documents rattled off a number of seedy stories that would have been right at home in a venerable supermarket tabloid, had they actually been published. The subjects were anonymized but recognizable to anyone who had followed the story of Trump’s entanglement with The Enquirer. His affair with the porn star Stormy Daniels, of course, was the heart of it. There was also Karen McDougal, the Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1998, whose affair with Trump was similarly made to disappear, the payments for the rights to her story made to look like fees for writing a fitness column and appearing on magazine covers. (Trump has denied involvement with both women.) There were others that were lesser known, too, like Dino Sajudin, a former Trump World Tower doorman who claimed that Trump had a love child with one of the building’s employees; the story was never published, and Sajudin was paid $30,000 to keep quiet about it.

To me this is unbelievable. Before Mr. Trump's official entry into presidential politics - he becoming a politician - this kind of story that surfaced years ago, would've killed the career of an aspiring politician. But with Mr. Trump's troll-like campaign (proof/not opinion is his personal/family insults and attacks on a debate stage, breaking of norms, rules...unheard of before 2015), the bizarre became acceptable to small but then growing a segment of the population.

No such thing, Dumbfuck. And luckily for you since you yourself have offered crimes, and not statutes, when asked about a crime. But thanks! You hypocrisy with that desperate deflection reveals to me that I struck a nerve. I can live with that.

Maybe I was too generous with that "low teens" comment? Regardless, you've been shown the potential underlying crimes. Let me know if you need help understanding them.

Cries the dumbfuck who whines about a statute not given in response to a query about a crime when he does the same.

I laugh at "notorious".

Common place and not illegal.

Is it weird that you misrepresent every story?

 

[Billiejeens]

So in NY it is illegal to promote anyone for election?

Anyone running as a Republican.

 

[Faun]

Still no statute, Simp?

So? You don't need one. You were shown the crimes.
