Trump's lawyer reportedly used private LLC and pseudonums to pay off Stormy Daniels

Several observations here:

His lawyer was ridiculously careless to use his own name on formation documents.

Stormy says "Donald Trump didn't pay her". She never said she wasn't paid by an LLC created to pay off whores. (I'm sure that's what Melania is calling her )

Would this violate campaign finance rules if the money came from the campaign?

Another day, another report detailing the one-time sexual relationship that allegedly occurred between Donald Trump and adult film star Stormy Daniels and the lengths Team Trump went to at hiding it.

Days after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump attorney Michael Cohen arranged for a $130,000 payment to Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — to buy her silence over the 2006 affair prior to the 2016 election, the WSJ is out with another story related to the payoff.

According to the Journal, Cohen created a private company in Deleware in order to use the entity to send the payment to the account of Clifford’s lawyer. The company, Essential Consultants LLC, was established on October 17, 2016 — just weeks ahead of the presidential election.

While the LLC was used to mask the source of the payment since Delaware doesn’t require companies to publicly disclose names of managers, and Clifford was identified as “Peggy Peterson” in the agreement, Cohen listed himself as an “authorized person” on the company’s formation documents. Yes, that’s right. Instead of having another lawyer or party handle that task, Cohen just placed his name on that line.
