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

[Nostra]

No one has said they are.

Want some fire to go with your straw man, you little Harpie, you winged monkey.

You just whined about the NDA, Simp.

 

[Nostra]

Breaking! Trump raaaaaaaaaaaaaanting & raving in the courthouse hallway like a lunatic & whining like a little bitch. Looks like Cohen really nailed his crooked ass.

Now one of his lackeys will have to help him change his Depends due to him soiling himself.

There's the sick fuck you idiots want to put back in the W.H.

 

[j-mac]

Tel it to the judge, the prosecution, the jury.

If it even gets that far…

 

[Faun]

No, he didn’t. He has accountants to do that, Moron. You think Trump does his own books?

Dumbfuck, Trump is responsible for his records. Just like you're responsible for your tax return no matter who does it.

 

[Nostra]

Liar.

Yes, you are.

 

[Nostra]

LOL

You're such a dumbfuck, you literally make me laugh out loud.

That up was your claim, Simp. There is a reason you had to admit reading your posts will make you stupid.

 

[Faun]

Because the judge is a hack, Moron. No way this sham holds up on appeal.

Dumbfuck, they would have appealed the dismissal if you had a brain and had a clue what you're talking about.

 

[Nostra]

What expired misdemeanors? How'd they expire?

Holy shit! Your ignorance on this issue is astounding.

 

[Faun]

Yes, you are.

Poor Peewee. I know you are but what am I is fitting for someone with a four year old's mentality like yours.

If it gets that far….i have yet to hear ANYTHING that’s a crime….

 

[Faun]

Holy shit! Your ignorance on this issue is astounding.

LOL

As always, you prove yourself to be the USMB's biggest dumbfuck...

So called “catch and kill” isn’t illegal.


Sux to be tied up with this Bragg clown.

 

[Faun]

If it gets that far….i have yet to hear ANYTHING that’s a crime….

Umm... it's past that point.

That has nothing to do with the statute of limitations running out on the misdemeanors, Simp.

Next?

 

[Nostra]

Umm... it's past that point.

It’s gone to the jury already? More ignorance on display.

You are a complete idiot.

 

[j-mac]

Umm... it's past that point.

There it is folks…..Iron clad proof that Faun‘s AI is broken…Even he’s admitted there’s no case here…

 

[Faun]

That has nothing to do with the statute of limitations running out on the misdemeanors, Simp.

Next?

Dumbfuck, Trump was not charged with a misdemeanor.

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.

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.
