It was not about stormy Daniels. Did you actually read the article?

quote:

the payment was ultimately never made.


Please update thread title

quote:


“Nothing in that conversation suggests that he had any knowledge of it in advance,” Mr. Giuliani said, adding that Mr. Trump had directed Mr. Cohen that if he were to make a payment related to the woman, write a check, rather than sending cash, so it could be properly documented for campaign finance laws

This is a conversation about paying off Karen MacDougal (eventually paid off via the Enquirer).

quote:

President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.

The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.

The recording’s existence further draws Mr. Trump into questions about tactics he and his associates used to keep aspects of his personal and business life a secret. And it highlights the potential legal and political danger that Mr. Cohen represents to Mr. Trump. Once the keeper of many of Mr. Trump’s secrets, Mr. Cohen is now seen as increasingly willing to consider cooperating with prosecutors.

Dubious source. But even if true, regardless of content, due to attorney-client privilege, should not ever see the light of day

Deny, Deny, Deny, Deny

Until you find out it was recorded

Why deny?
Why did Cohen record it?

It is a good change of the weekend news cycle

Regardless, I feel bad for Melania. Trump is a scum for cheating on that beautiful wife of his.

And there is nothing wrong with making payments to keep people's mouth shut. It is done ALL THE TIME. It a regular part of business.

A lot of mob clients have hoped this was true then learned about the crime-fraud exception too late.

Two things:

1) Trump likes pussy- who knew!?

2) Cohen just played himself out of a pardon. Hope he enjoys disbarment when he is ultimately convicted of a felony. Does he have any other skills to make a living at?


Bye bye Michael

Yep, no way this guy would be vulnerable to blackmail from the Russians.

(narrator voice: and a hush money payment can be an in kind campaign finance violation since the alleged affair occurred 10 years ago while the payoff was shortly before an election. plus depending on how the money is handled there can be bank fraud and wire fraud vulnerability).
