re: A few legal questions

The question they claim is how those funds were reimbursed to Cohen. If those funds came from a commercial account.....who cares. If they came from Trump's personal account, the question would be was Trump also using that particular account to help fund his campaign. If this was an exclusive account independent of contributions to the campaign....no harm , no foul as a matter of law.

The case against Cohen was a reach. I always wondered why he copped a plea. In this case it's a dog with fleas overall....it almost borders on double jeopardy...almost

I think Cohen was on the hook for some criminal issues all his own as well, if I recall correctly.

That’s true. There is an old saying in politics that when you’re explaining you’re losing. The same would probably apply here. The more confusing the case the harder it is to prove. Juries are going to like things they can easily understand. Confusion is not far from reasonable doubt.

That’s not to say complex crimes can’t be proven as they are all the time; however, if you are going to be the first prosecutor to ever indict a former president, one would think simpler is better.

I think the allegation years ago (and now) is that somehow the money came out of campaign funds without being reported as such.
