We Finally Know the Case Against Trump, and It Is Strong

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The payment of hush money was an election law violation if the purpose was to influence the election and it was not reported as a campaign contribution.

Maybe we should drink, every time you tell him that.

Trump's lawyers may argue that purpose of the payments had nothing to do with the election but rather to protect his good name and sterling reputation.

Who paid the hush money? Trump or Cohen?

Don't feed the sealions.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Don't feed the sealions.

If Trump paid it, it isn't an illegal contribution.
If Cohen paid it, that's his crime, not Trump's.

Neato!

Neato!

I know!

Well, we know you're wrong. We saw Trump's personal lawyer and corporate VP go to federal prison for it.

They went to prison for what they did. That’s how it works.

Yes I know. Did you have any other point?

The campaign would pay it for the sample reason Trump did paid it, to keep it from negatively influencing the vote.

That’s not the sample or simple reason. It’s just one vague possible reason that you wish it were.

The Trump lawyers might try to convince the jury that Trump paid it to protect his good name and his sterling reputation rather influencing the vote.

Gee. Maybe.

Of course that might be met with uncontrollable laughter by the jurors.

Or, it might be credited as the basis for agreeing that it constitutes a reasonable doubt. And, in any case, the man doesn’t need any reason at all to pay for his own NDA Agreement with some random ho.

And there is no limit whatsoever on how much a candidate can spend of his or her own money for his or her own campaign.

 

[BackAgain]

Paying hush money by the candidate is a campaign contribution as long as it was done to influence the vote.

Not true. But even if the purpose of every donation is to influence the vote, a candidate is always free to make such a contribution.

It's just like the candidate paying $25,000 for rental of an arena or billboard advertising. If it it was more than $2700 and not reported as a contribution it is an illegal contribution.

Wrong. A candidate can spend however much he wants on his own Campaign.

Campaign contributions are anything of value to the campaign, money, goods, services, etc.

Ok. But there’s no limit on a candidate’s contributions to his own campaign.

 

[BackAgain]

Well, we know you're wrong. We saw Trump's personal lawyer and corporate VP go to federal prison for it.

No. I know you’re wrong. Once again for the slow section. There is no campaign contribution by the candidate himself.

There were limits for a lawyer and a corporate VP for a candidate who isn’t the lawyer or the corporate VP respectively.

Which is what is most hilarious about this: The orange moron and his felon lawyer managed to turn it into a crime anyway. They were both so used to doing things illegally, it apparently never occurred to them to do it legally. Which you have to admit, is pretty hilarious.

 

[BackAgain]

Yes I know. Did you have any other point?

No other point needed. Individual responsibility is what controls. Sorry you don’t comprehend that.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No other point needed.

Then you are catching up to, basically, any even slightly informed person, who already knows all of that. Uh, good for you, I guess. We are all rootin' for ya.

You still don’t get it. But that’s not unexpected.

Trump had his lawyer pay it at his request in order to hide the payment. Then after the election he paid Cohen back not out of his personal account but out of a business account in payments that began In Feb 2016 and ending in Dec 2016 which were record as legal expenses of the business. I believe the total of these payments will add up to $130,000, the hush money payment.

I think Bragg would have no problem proving Trump guilty of fixing the books but proving him guilty of the crime he is concealing might be more difficult because his lawyers would argue that the concealed crime was not a crime because he did not intend to influence the election. Trump was paying off Stormy to protect the wife and kids and to protect his sterling character.

I said I got your point and asked if you had any other. You said no. Not sure what you are thinking anyone didn't get. Please masturbate on your own time.
