Trump: Payments to silence women were a ‘simple private transaction

quote:
President Trump asserted Monday that payments to buy the silence of two women about alleged affairs were not illegal campaign contributions, as federal prosecutors contend, but instead a “simple private transaction.”
quote:
He further asserted that even if the payments could be considered campaign contributions, he should be facing a civil case rather than a criminal case. And he said, Cohen should be held responsible, not him.
“Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me,” Trump wrote. “Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!”

I mean, it’s better than Hillary’s method of silencing people.

Reminder: There's a fund that YOU PAY FOR that Congress uses to silence their victims they grope on.

When done in order to potentially influence an election, the issue becomes cloudier. It is PROBABLY a minor campaign finance violation. Assess and pay the fine, and move on.

Trump is a good businessman, limiting them to around $130k each. Dumb broads should have held out for more.

the campaign finance statute specifically EXCLUDES items that would have existed outside the campaign or could have existed for another reason.

Cohen is an idiot. He would have been pardoned had he not gotten in bed with Lanny Davis.

You need to read the WaPo piece by Former chair of the FEC, Bradley Smith. Add into the fact that if Trump can prove he has done this before ever announcing his candidacy, it will be next to impossible to prove that it was anything more than a business transaction!

Don't be surprised when they do clamor for a crime.
This is the same retarded crowd that is trying to frame Trump having interest in Russian property for his company PRIOR to becoming POTUS as a felony
They don't understand the laws. If it hurts their feelings, it's a crime.

Trump should disclose all payments that have been made from that fund.
You know, for transparency.
