What did Rudy mean when he said this?

It seems the campaign finance issue was why he made these statements
quote:
During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Giuliani said the money to repay Michael Cohen had been “funneled ... through the law firm and the president repaid it.”
Asked if Trump knew about the arrangement, Giuliani said: “He didn’t know about the specifics of it, as far as I know. But he did know about the general arrangement, that Michael would take care of things like this, like I take care of things like this for my clients. I don’t burden them with every single thing that comes along. These are busy people.”

“I’m giving you a fact that you don’t know,” Giuliani, the former New York mayor who recently joined the president’s legal team, told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “It’s not campaign money. No campaign finance violation. They funneled through a law firm and the president repaid it.”

Rudy had a good run and was loyal to trump. However, post election, he’s been more trouble than worth. His advisory role is good. He shouldn’t be a spokesperson for trump though.

Was Rudy having a "lucid interval"?

I think Rudy meant "SFP has become a little bitch."

I understand the argument that no crime was committed (or at least one that would normally be prosecuted)
But is there really a contention that there wasn't some quid pro quo here? I'm not being argumentative, I don't know what the board's position is on this.

I remember watching this when it happened. Good times.

except Costello said that did not happen and that Cohen was suicidal and begging to come up with anything to stay out of jail for his other unrelated shite

Yes
People are now speculating Cohen had the affair with SD

I don't know what terminal TDS patients think this means, but it sounds to me like it played out exactly as Cohen's lawyer said.
Stormy's attorney contacts Cohen.
Cohen freaks out, pays her money for NDA.
Later Trump reimburses him for legal fees and finds out about the whole thing.
That seems fairly benign for a billionaire's shady "fixer" lawyer.

People are now denying this happened even though Rudy said it did

What does this have to do with Trump's lawyer saying that they made the payments? Costello was not Trump's attorney

He meant that Cohen was well compensated through his monthly retainer as Trumps personal lawyer
Cohens own lawyer sent a letter to the investigators, saying Cohen doesnt see it that way, and was NEVER repaid by Trump. He did that under the possible threat of disbarment , so . . . .
I know youre just trying to protect your ecred on this one, but youve been wrong about most of your stances on the NYC thingy

I have no clue (and I doubt many, if any, other people do) of the arrangement or payments between Trump and Cohen. I don't know what Trump paid him, or if a $150k bill would be unusual, or if Trump even knew about it rather than Cohen just sending a bill to the Trump Org or whatever. The only info we really have is supposition and hearsay.

He’s talking to hear himself say stuff.

Isn't it the most likely answer that it was essentially an in kind contribution to Trump whether it qualified as one by FEC standards or not?
From what you know is the idea about Cohen paying it for his own interests credible?

Washington Post

Trump acknowledged that Cohen was reimbursed through a monthly retainer to stop what Trump called “false and extortionist accusations” about a decade-old affair. In May, Trump’s attorneys filed disclosures with the Office of Government Ethics reporting that Cohen had incurred expenses of between $100,001 and $250,000 in 2016 just before the election, and that Trump fully reimbursed Cohen in 2017.
