Who Did Trump Intend to Defraud when he Allegedly Falsified Business Records?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Trump was not charged with breaking any campaign finance laws by the only authority with jurisdiction, and cannot be charged with it in a State court.

The appeals court has no choice but to reverse any conviction that relies on Trump breaking any campaign finance law.

, the enhancement is a conspiracy to promote an election using unlawful means, and Trump was never convicted for Cohen's violation.

He doesn't have to be, right? He covered up a crime. Doesn't have to be a crime he personally committed.

If he hadn't actually violated campaign finance laws, he would have informed prosecutors why that charge was bogus and worked out a plea deal on the remaining charges.

Cohen tried to get the charges separated, the DOJ wouldn't allow it.

If he could have challenged the campaign finance charges without risking the plea deal, he absolutely would have done it that way.

The DOJ had no incentive to offer Cohen anything if they didn't get dirt on Trump in the deal.

No saying they were a legal fee is accurate...

No. It was neither a legal fee nor a retainer, as the evidence and testimony show.

Because they had him dead to rights.

Yes they did, on the serious charges. The bank fraud carried a 30-year sentence alone. Add the rest it could have been up to 70 years.

He served 13 months of a 3-year sentence. Cohen would have pimped out his own grandmother for that deal.

Yep. And he went to prison for essentially some of the same crimes committed by Trump that got him a $454MM fine.

Though I have never seen any terms of his plea deal that involve cooperating in other prosecutions or investigations.

That law clearly does not apply and was not violated.
Fraud is when you harm someone by taking their money through misrepresentation.
Trump did not take anyone's money, but instead was forced by extortion to give his own money to someone who did not earn or deserve it.

Hilariously stupid fuck up

All plea deals include that. That was the whole point, to get him as a cooperating witness. He limited his cooperation to the campaign finance investigations though, and wouldn't give a full disclosure on the rest of his shenanigans. Both Mueller and the SDNY gave him credit for his cooperation in their sentencing memos.

Hmm.... not so sure. As far as some guarantee for the future, that is.

I will try to find it again, but I'm not going to give it a priority. It's out there, a DOJ response to his motion. You should be able to find it if you search.

Biden paid a hooker $135K to cover up his not having sex with her?

Interesting story there.

Former officers fuckup.

They are still liars and have admitted it. Pinhead.

Irrelevant and when Joe is indicted let me know.
