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

But it was a campaign expense.

You think that it’s only a campaign expense if it’s spent by the campaign.

That’s now how campaign finance works.

But it was a campaign expense.

But it wasn't a campaign expense.

You think that it’s only a campaign expense if it’s spent by the campaign.

Because that's pretty much how it works. Campaign money spent on campaign expenses.

It’s a fact that the jury thought they provided sufficient evidence of the crime.

How many of the Jury do you know who told you this stuff?

 

[Delldude]

The Biden DoJ said nothing of the sort.

They declined to indict. It's widely reported on the Internet .

But it was a campaign expense.

But it wasn't a campaign expense.

The law defines campaign expenses and it has nothing to do with whether it’s paid for with donations.

It’s not.

So what?

 

[WorldWatcher]

Why then did the prosecution argue these points?

The prosecutors then proceeded to expressly state that it was “a fact” that federal election violations occurred in this case and that Trump ordered those violations.

As the mens Rae, criminal intent, motivation for v the criminal acts.

Men’s Rae is one of the elements of a crime they must show.

There seems to be a lot of self-denial about his convictions. Why can't his supporters admit the truth--that he was convicted on all 34 charges by a DC court.
Will this fact also follow the election result deniers path of massive resistance at first and now a comparatively few still hold out that Trump won the 2020 election?

Because it's fake.

The fact that Trump falsified business records to cover up Cohens crime was presented.

Cohen didn't make a campaign contribution, why would Trump need to cover up something that didn't happen.

He did.

He loaned the campaign resulting in an in-a contribution. That’s what he was convicted of.

FEC says otherwise. And the FEC commissioner wasn't allowed to testify on the matter by the judge.

The FEC did not say that.

 

[WorldWatcher]

An NDA, not a campaign contribution.

Cohen fronting the money so Trump didn’t have to provide it before the election was an In-kind contribution.

Thanks for the link.

I didn't see any mention of NDAs.

 

[WorldWatcher]

The motive was to hid Cohen's criminal campaign fraud.

How does hiding Cohen's "crime" benefit the campaign?

because they were trying to keep his boinking a porn start out of v the news prior to the election.

He did.

He loaned the campaign resulting in an in-a contribution. That’s what he was convicted of.

WW

He loaned the campaign resulting in an in-a contribution.

The campaign didn't receive any funds from his "loan".

That’s what he was convicted of.

He was convicted of not reporting more than $4 million in income.

The fact that Trump falsified business records to cover up Cohens crime was presented.

Cohen didn't make a campaiengn contribution, why would Trump need to cover up something that didn't happen.

Silencing Daniels was a thing of value to Trump's campaign.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Trump can spend as much as he wants on his own campaign.

Correct.

And federal law requires he report it in a public filing.

He didn’t do that.

Don’t believe me? Research candidate contributions to their own campaign under federal law.

WW

Trump's payments after the election couldn't influence the election.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Meaning Cohen would not have had to front the campaign the illegal loan.

Cohen didn't lend the campaign any money.

Yes v he did.

He’s a federal felon for campaign fraud because of it.

[WorldWatcher]

Were I the lawyer, since the women went to seek cash, I would leap up and down that the motive was extortion. Their intent was to inflict harm on Trump, and it sure did.

The women didn’t seek out the campaign.

The campaign went to them.

Hiding it after the election was after the election.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Exactly. A misdemeanor with a 1-year statute of limitations.

Felonies are not a 1-year SOL.
