Yeah, there are a myriad of other things that could pose problems - taxes, bank fraud, wire fraud, and a few other things. Also, there could be crimes that are state level charges.


I’d love to hear this. Don’t you see how desperate y’all are to find something.

I think you will need to wait for the SDNY, to file charges, if they do.

So you have no basis for your assertion that there could be bank fraud wire fraud and state level charges? Why would you make such a statement if you have zero basis? If you have a basis....fill us in.

Cant wait for the low iq crowd to try and spin this to a felony


The Justice Department, led by Trump appointees, has already "spun it" into a felony.

Are you not aware of the audio tape Cohen surreptitiously took when Trump specifically states that if there is any payment it must be “on the up and up”? Are you aware intent is an element of the alleged crime? Are you aware that if trump entered into similar NDAs prior to becoming a candidate that would be a defense to the allleged crime? Are you aware the alleged violation is that Cohen made a contribution above the limit. That “contribution” was
Reimbursed, yet the SDNY relies on that reimbursement as evidence of wrongdoing? It’s circular and a bootstrap.

You take a statement made by someone the investigators claimed lied to them at every step as truth and satisfaction of required elements by someone else despite all of the evidence to the contrary? That is silly.

interpreting a plea in federal court as having precedential value is a fool' errand

Explain this theory to me. What other purpose would there be to such payoffs? Under the same logic, if Trump buys a nice suit, is that a campaign finance violation. Is he not trying to influence the electorate by looking his best?

This is a pretty dumb argument. The fact that everything they do can influence an election is why disclosure and transparency are required under the law.

So that's what we have laws and statutes are for. They tell us What should and should not be disclosed. Please point me to the applicable statutory requirement in this case.

You seem reasonable.

But Trump didn't pay it. Cohen did subject to a reimbursement from Trump right? Trump disclosed the liability to Cohen after the election.

Well I Am not privy to all the evidence.

If you can't see how having an employee of your company take a heloc to pay a campaign contribution, then bill the company for it could result in these charges, there is nothing I can say to convince you.

wait i thought Trump said that he didn't have affairs with these women? did i miss him actually telling the truth?


So you obviously never seen an NDA before. Done a couple for Med-mal lawsuits. It doesn’t admit any wrong doing. Just here is your check (cheaper than going to court) to make this go away and you can’t say shite to anyone....all on paper!
