Trump’s company approved $420,000 in payments to Cohen, relying on ‘sham’ invoices, prosecutors say
President Trump’s real estate company authorized paying $420,000 to lawyer Michael Cohen in his effort to silence women during the presidential campaign and then relied on “sham” invoices from Cohen that concealed the nature of the payments, according to legal filings released Tuesday.
The payments began flowing in February 2017, soon after Trump took office, when Cohen approached Trump Organization executives seeking to be reimbursed for “election-related” expenses, prosecutors said.
"B-b-b-b-b-but Hillary!"
"B-b-b-b-b-but sham invoices are legal! I'm a certified election expert!"
"Look! A rabid Mexican squirrel!"
Well let see I said he was a cheater, liar and so much more, so how is this a surprise and do you believe those that voted for him even care?
Sure had it beeb Hillary they would and you would not, so yeah there is your Hillary part...
Unless you can get the Senate to Convict and Remove if your side win in November this discussion is moot...
Oh, its far from moot. The more the evidence shows that Trump, the leader of the Republican party, is both incompetent and wildly corrupt, colluding with the Russian Government against the United States and is an unindicted co-conspirator in felonies....
.....the more he'll be toxic to all republicans down stream.
Where is there any proof of "collusion"?
There is BTW, proof of collusion between the Clintons and the Russians. Hillary signed away 20% of our uranium reserves
Oh, there's tons of evidence that we already know about.
For example, Don Jr. already released his emails where he was informed that the information against Hillary at that meeting was from 'high level sources' and part of the Russian government's effort to aid Trump.
And the woman they met is an admitted Russian Operative.
Worse, Trump lied repeated, laughably claiming that a meeting in Trump tower attended by his campaign chair....was about adoption. Worse still, he compelled others to lie, personally dictating the statement for his son that perpetuated the same 'adoption' lies.
And worse again, Trump has tried to shut down the investigation looking into the meeting between his campaign and Russia.
And Trump openly admitting via twitter what was obvious: that the purpose of the meeting was to get dirt on his political opponent. Exactly as the emails Don Jr already affirmed months ago.
And it still gets worse! The Spanish authority have turned over wire taps between Don Jr and Russian Intelligence operative Alexander Torshin, a man cited in the Conspiracy against the United States indictment of Maaria Butina. With Don Jr again trying to set up a behind the scenes meeting.
And that's just the collusion that we know about and they've admitted to. With Manafort facing 80 years to encourage him to be forthcoming and both Flynn and Papadopolous statements waiting to be released......this is gonna get interesting!
