Yep nothing to see here:

quote:

That’s potentially very bad news for Trump, because if he knew about the payments in advance or even agreed to them later, he’s looking at liability as a conspirator for what is now a proven crime,” said former Justice Department aide Harry Litman.


quote:

I do think a plea to paying the women moves the overall case forward in the sense that if campaign money was used to make the payments, anyone involved in that [including, in theory, then-candidate Trump] is guilty of a campaign fraud,” former federal prosecutor Patrick J. Cotter said. “Thus, more potential witnesses and targets will result from Cohen’s plea.”

Interesting take.

One would assume that the reasoning used in Cohen’s/Lanny Davis’ statement would extend to all sorts of unforeseen cases.

If I had my accountant amend my taxes to avoid an embarrassing situation and it cost me $60,000 to do that, is that a “campaign expense” all of a sudden?

Where's the proof that they used campaign funds?

All of this is such a stretch. Who gets to say it was campaign funds? It's all ridiculous and will backfire on the left. Everything they touch turns to shite.

Members of Congress paid 17 million of taxpayer money to settle sexual harrassment issues

Are those payments in kind contributions?

I believe the correct answer is no they are not, the same way Trumps payments are not

people have done it plenty of times

when the US govt is out to get you, they can send you to the poor house defending yourself. there comes a time when people admit to something so they dont lose all of their money

If paying hush money is a campaign expense, a candidate would be required to make that payment with campaign funds.

So does this mean we’re done with Russia now? Is this what y’all want impeachment on now? Hush money?

Is this what Mueller was appointed for?

The funny part is all of the best legal minds of TD are using MSM talking points to “make their case”

What? This didn’t happen. Your source is awful. There was no determination by a jury and nothing was proven. Criminal law 101 stuff. Good lord.
