No and No.

This is more about getting people on record and having a reference when people deny the repayment to Cohen.

Step one is to prove that a misdemeanor was committed. What is the misdemeanor?

You rely on tweets in the OP as the foundation of your argument, but you want to ignore the part about this not being campaign finance.

You rely on Cohen's testimony to the Grand Jury, but ignore his own attorney's statement that contradicts it, and decide it's "patriots" fault for believing it.

Nope. Fantasy land.

Not in the least.

Trump was a politician I had some hope in who failed largely at all the things I thought he could do. He had a pretty impotent administration with chaotic management.

He can get thrown in the bin of other pols I had hope in who failed or were ineffective. I don't have any emotional response to Trump in the least.

I think the data show he's not electable, though. Again that's just basic rationality given the data for winning the EC and what we've seen post-2016 in actual elections.

It's very much like your Omicron fear. You probably had hundreds of posts talking about how hospitals would be overrun, how those who are unvaccinated should be held civilly liable, etc. But, you fall back on a singular statement where you acknowledge that Omicron may in fact be mild.

I was happy that Omicron came and was mild.

The civil liability was early on in Covid about a previous strain. The hospital thread was something else. both were actually discussions about personal responsibility (and the internalized perception of what that means to posters) and not Covid directly. It was pretty clear but people couldn't help but be emotional and not melt down

What legal argument, exactly?

Incorrect.

The argument is the repayment structure to Cohen was done intentionally to hide Trump from these payments. They had to structure it this way for tax reasons, too.

If they "hid" a $130k repayment in 5, $50k payments, then it's not keeping accurate records. That could trigger the law.

The underlying crime is not about campaign finance.

His attempts to bring felony charges requires it, which, as I said, is not likely to even survive a motion to dismiss.

Where?

Have I referenced Cohen's testimony to the GJ once on this site? Ever?

He literally says in the first tweet Cohen was repaid

That's up to the prosecutor and judge/jury, not me.

I don't think it will stick, but I'm not part of the process.

Step two is to prove that this was a felony act because it led to the furtherance of a crime. What crime did Trump commit by hiding the payments (if the misdemeanor is proven)?

I have already said this would not likely withstand real scrutiny. We're not at that stage, yet, though.

We don't know, but the theory is he's going to try to tie in campaign finance violations (Cohen has already pled to them)

Tweets are not proof. Dude. No one thinks Cohen paid this out of the kindness of his heart. He was obviously on a fat retainer and knew he would eventually be made whole on Trump's nickel. What you wont find is; a receipt for reimbursement for the NDA of Stormy Daniels from the campaign. Until you have that, or even a consistent accusation that that happened, stfu.

I'm sure you were. But, you were unmistakably scared of Omicron when it arrived and people laughed at you for it.

Yes, it was everyone else. It wasn't you.

Nobody is making campaign finance violations from the repayment except as a secondary argument not at issue in this thread.

Also the fact that you won't find a receipt like that from the Trump organization is the very basis for the prosecution as weak or strong as that argument might be

If that receipt existed and a one for one payment existed then there would be no argument or angle for this sham prosecution
