The good part is that Trump didn't get his way, because he wanted Congress to spend more.

He wanted higher cash payments to citizens (aka more spending).

His own admin proposed a near $1T plan themselves, which they negotiated with Congress to get the bill that passed.

You do realize a contingent of NPCs are trying to argue Cohen wasn't even repaid by Trump, right?


It was Stephen Ryan, Michael Cohen's attorney that said this.

Monthly retainer is for legal services not from the campaign.

The NY prosecution isn't for campaign finance violations.

Trump's team came out in 2018 over and over admitting to the repayments but structured the comments in a way to avoid the primary focus of that time (campaign finance violations). This potential prosecution in NY is not about that (But their statements still remain).

The point of this thread is to dispell the memes that Trump never repaid Cohen, which have become quite common among Patriots. THAT cannot be denied at this point.

The legality of how they structured it is for another discussion.

Paula Jones got $870,000 from Bill Clinton In 1996. Stormy should have gotten a better lawyer If she only got less than $200,000.

That has nothing to do with anything I'm concerned about. I don't care if Trump did or didn't have an affair with her.

Try these.



If you are called again to be a prophet of troll "We Got Him Now" threads...

Take two of these 2X daily



Three sources familiar with the matter said: Trump's taxes say he paid for Mickey D's and a three scooped ice cream dispenser, with unreported income he got from Pootin.

In 2017 Trump pooped in abox for pre-cancer screening and should do a live colonoscopy on TV.

This is not a "we got him" thread

How do you reconcile Stephen Ryan's statement that Michael Cohen was not reimbursed?

Maybe that's why Michael Cohen is mad at Trump. Michael paid Stormy, Michael tells Trump that he needs to be reimbursed for the payment to SD, Trump says I will pay you the monthly legal services we have agreed to and no more, Michael is pissed because he thought Trump would reimburse him the $130 on top of his monthly retainer, and Trump claims that he did pay Cohen his monthly retainer fee for legal services and in Trump's mind that is the reimbursement and in Michael and his attorney's minds that is not a reimbursement.

Those tweets fit with what Cohen said as well... That he did it on Trumps behalf, but without Trumps direction (at the time) or money.

Not sure what you think this proves. The payment isnt even disputed... It was clearly made by Cohen. The second point, about his retainer, seems to be clarifying the nature of Cohen's financial relationship with Trump relative to the campaign. We already know the money came from a HELOC, and not Trump.



ETA: Even if your fantasies were real. And Trump said to Cohen; "here's 130K, make that ho I fricked sign an NDA", it doesnt in and of itself, reveal a campaign finance violation. Which is the alleged crime here (sometimes I thing the deranged forget this). If it were, The FEC, DOJ, and SDNY wouldn't have passed on it. Likely due to the lying pack of clowns (Stormy, Avenatti, and Cohen) pushing this garbage.

They're all attempting to create haze, which is, ironically, the theory the DA in NY is trying to use.

Trump said Cohen was repaid (this thread)
Trump's lawyer said he was repaid (My Rudy thread yesterday)
Cohen's lawyer said he was not repaid (FEC letter)
Cohen said he was repaid (see: Cohen's plea in federal court) after saying he was not paid

quote:

and in Michael and his attorney's minds that is not a reimbursement.

Well that's just silly. All of this attempt to be clever is how the NY DA has gotten his 15 minutes.

Also, there are reports that Cohen was paid (by the Trump Org) other amounts than his retainer but none perfectly equaling 130k, which is the alleged fraud of business records in the DA's case.

This payment is the only part of note, today.

And yes, they opened themselves up to this current investigation by trying to avoid the campaign finance issue in 2018.

This current scenario isn't about campaign finance violations.

Lawyers make statements. It's a letter, not testimony.

Again, they're trying to be clever by saying he wasn't reimbursed the $130k.

The argument is that he was reimbursed by other amounts intentionally not made to total 130k to obfuscate the process. That's the behaviors that the DA is alleging is fraudulent (Triggering the business records law).

dude. let it go. No one... not even Vance fricking Jones thinks this is legit. You can get your post count up in other ways.

The accusers are a pack of lying clowns, for crying out loud. Changing their stories left and right, perjuring themselves, getting thrown in jail. They screwed themselves.

It's not silly.

Apparently there was a dispute in payment. The contractual agreement between Cohen and Trump, if there was one, apparently did not define what constituted "legal services". It was probably a verbal agreement anyway. "I'll pay you $40K a month for legal services (outside of the campaign)." Trump thinks Michael making a payment to SD unbeknownst to Trump is part of the "legal services". Michael probably thinks the payment is above and beyond "legal services". Thus the dispute.

How would I know what he means? Ya need to ask some of those high and mighty anonymous sources the msm is always using, who are able to definitively say what he means and what his intent is. If I were to use those anonymous sources as an example, then those tweets were probably coded messages that implored his followers to attack black people.
