Trump-Stormy Daniels settlement at heart of potential NY DA indictment didn't violate

When the guy who was charged with paying the women off got 3 years for the act, the one who is in charge has more guilt. The payoff and coverup was a crime. They misrepresented it as a campaign expense.

Yep, follow the money. I'd like to see if there was a direct transfer of the funds from his campaign account to his personal account.

Edit: There was no direct transfer. Cohen set up a shell company for this.

No, it's not okay, but it does figure that two immoral Trumpers like yourselves believe two wrongs make a right.

No wonder you advocate killing people with bad medical advice.

Trump paid the 130 with a personal checks not campaign funds.


Cohen said Donald Trump himself, while president, signed a $35,000 checks while he was president to repay him for "hush money I paid on his behalf," Cohen told a House of Representatives committee./QUOTE]

"Other checks / to reimburse me for the hush money payments were signed by Don Jr. and Allen Weisselberg," he said, referring to the president's son and the Trump Organization CFO.

Trump will win this case and THAT will help him win the White House.

Hate to break this to you, but the NY case is not about Trump fucking porn stars. It is about the payola to keep them quiet so they didn't mention it during his campaign for POTUS. Nice try on deflection though.

Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 through a shell company Cohen set up. He was then reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.

Earlier in 2016, Cohen also arranged for former Playboy model Karen McDougal to be paid $150,000 by the publisher of the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer, which squelched her story in a journalistically dubious practice known as “catch-and-kill.”

Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, “grossed up” Cohen’s reimbursement for the Daniels payment for “tax purposes,” according to federal prosecutors who filed criminal charges against the lawyer in connection with the payments in 2018.

Cohen got $360,000 plus a $60,000 bonus, for a total of $420,000.

Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance law in connection with the payments.

It looks like the defense “I did it for Melania” may not work, because Stormy was trying to get money from Trump earlier for her silence and he wouldn’t pay until it became an issue for the election.

He would have been a lot better off to just admit that he boinked her and "So what?" The MAGATs wouldn't have cared. Look at all of them just here who cheered him on. Trump's too used to dirty dealings to be that honest.

And the former FEC official says that isn't illegal and remember that the FEC did not fine or bring a case against Trump for that.

"The alleged one-night stand between Daniels and Trump is far more of a stretch," wrote von Spakovsky. "Daniels had no connection to the presidential campaign of any kind and the encounter — if it occurred — didn't happen during the campaign itself. In any event, even if the Daniels payment were to be considered a campaign-related expense, unlike Edwards, the nominal $130,000 payment wasn't made by Trump campaign donors but by Trump's personal attorney (not the campaign's attorney) with whom he has a long-standing business relationship. . . . Even if one might be able to reasonably construe the payment to Daniels as somehow related to the presidential campaign, there still would be no violation since candidates are allowed to spend as much of their own money as they want on their own campaigns."

A tepid attempt at establishing a valid analogy.

Trump's craven amoral sleaze goes way beyond multiple divorces, multiple affairs, or banging porn stars.

Trump is a vile human being who is self absorbed, selfish, narcissistic, malicious, money-obessesed, vindictive,
petty, utterly without empathy or compassion, and constantly insulting racial minorities, handicapped people, women who are overweight or don't meet his standards of attractiveness.

Are you deliberately misunderstanding what I said? Cohen created a fake consultancy firm and a new bank account to fudge the money issue. trump could have written a check without going through all this rigmarole. Cohen was a patsy until he finally wised up.

2016

Oct. 17: Cohen files paperwork to incorporate a firm known as Essential Consultants LLC in Delaware.
Oct. 25: No deal with Daniels has been finalized, and Davidson tells Cohen, Howard and Pecker that his client is close to reaching an agreement with another outlet to tell her story. Cohen agrees to finalize the deal.
Oct. 26: Cohen opens a bank account for Essential Consultants and transfers $131,000 he obtained by taking out a home equity line of credit into the new account.
Oct. 27: Cohen wires $130,000 to Davidson, Daniels' attorney.

2017

January: Cohen seeks reimbursement from the Trump Organization for $180,035 — $130,000 for the payment to Daniels, plus a wiring fee and an extra $50,000. Trump Organization executives double the reimbursement to $360,000 and add another $60,000, for a total of $420,000 to be paid in monthly installments for 12 months.
Cohen sends invoices for $35,000 per month and receives $420,000 from the company over the course of the year.
Jan. 20: Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

Why did Cohen have to set up a shell company and a new bank account to pay off Daniels, if nothing was illegal?

He didn't want Melania to know about it. When a payment has a dual purpose it is OK
