Why Do Trump Supporters Have Such A Hard Time Admitting He's A Convicted Felon?

[Toddsterpatriot]

That’s what they do when they want to make legitimate, public, legal campaign donations.

But it’s not what they do when they want to illegally and secretly fund campaigns.

Who illegally sent money to the Trump campaign?

 

[Delldude]

You didn’t know Cohen was convicted of campaign finance fraud?

That’s your problem.

Yet Trump wasn't and it was the basis for Bragg's trial.

Didn't you know that?

 

[Marener]

Who illegally sent money to the Trump campaign?

You don’t have to send money to the campaign to make an illegal campaign contribution. All you have to do is spend money on their behalf for campaign activities.

 

[Marener]

Yet Trump wasn't and it was the basis for Bragg's trial.

Didn't you know that?

Yes. Don’t you know that it doesn’t matter?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

He concealed Cohen’s crime by falsifying business records.

Paying an NDA isn't a crime.

 

[Marener]

Paying an NDA isn't a crime.

It can be depending on the rest of the facts and circumstance.

It does, prosecution lied saying Trump violated FEC law.

It runs in my mind Bidens DOJ wasn't interested.

 

[konradv]

The jury wasn’t.

Did Bragg say that Trump had been convicted of breaking FEC law?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

It can be depending on the facts and circumstances.

If the campaign paid it with campaign funds, you might have a point.

 

[AZrailwhale]

I guess technically you’re admitting he committed dozens of misdemeanors.

But since he was concealing Cohen’s crime, that made it a felony.

Claiming that he committed dozens of misdemeanors is like claiming someone committed dozens of jaywalking crimes crossing the street on one occasion.

 

[Marener]

If the campaign paid it with campaign funds, you might have a point.

You seem to think that if it’s not paid for with campaign funds, it can be a donation.

That’s a misunderstanding of how the law works and would be a huge loophole to make limits on donations meaningless.

Claiming that he committed dozens of misdemeanors is like claiming someone committed dozens of jaywalking crimes crossing the street on one occasion.

Well, you can admit it’s a crime so that’s progress.

 

[Delldude]

Did Bragg say that Trump had been convicted of breaking FEC law?

No, his prosecutors argued He violated federal election law so they could establish the 'other crime'.

How is it a donation?

 

[Marener]

No

Then it wasn’t a lie.

 

[dudmuck]

Did Bragg say that Trump had been convicted of breaking FEC law?

the FEC did not absolve Trump of the crime of campaign finance violation (in kind contribution). This means the falsification of business records is elevated to felony because it was done to further that campaign finance crime.

 

[Marener]

How is it a donation?

When you’re spending money on behalf of the campaign, in furtherance of the campaign and in coordination with the campaign, it’s a donation.
