It wasn't Trump's intention for any of this to get out. In fact, at the trial today, Pecker says Trump told him 'things like this always get out.' But in the end, Trump did it anyway. Go figure - not so smart after all. Maybe he should have taken his on SAT test rather than hire someone to take it for him, allegedly.
Cite where Trump used election or campaign funds.
The fact that Trump used NDAs in the past is testament that election fraud didn’t exist. You could put several congress critters in the slammer for the same charges.
For people secure in their elections, Americans sure were resistant to investigating too hard.
He’s being tried in a NY court.Fox News?
Where to start? So many errors in the article are wrong, but just for fun here are a few things that standout:
BTW, according to legal experts, conspiracy does not have to be charged under NY law. Just FYI to Fox.
- Pejorative DA term: 'nefarious scheme' similar to 'crooked DOJ' or 'sleepy-eyed Joe'?
- Pejorative terms by Fox: 'minion, Colangelo,' 'lawfare,' 'unprincipled trickster,' 'liars who cannot be trusted'
The defense, poor as it seems, doesn't have to prove Trump is innocent; the DA is required by law to show Trump is guilty in the eyes of twelve jurors.
The legal approach used by the DA is standard law 101. Lay the foundation, build the credibility brick by brick, and as the trial progresses, pave the path to how all the actions by Trump's cabal meet the definition of election criminality.
Oh, Bragg is not charged in this case - how did that get into the article - typos?
Or just mental incoherence...
The evidence of it being election money is not relevant. The charges for the misdemeanor portion are that Trump misrepresented the purpose of writing the checks to Cohen as business deductions, rather than hush money payments. Trump violated state and federal laws for tax reporting. Secondly, the charges rise to the level of criminal acts when Trump, Pecker, and Cohen conspired to conceal that the payments were made to hide the impact on Trump's election chances. This is contrary to the claim that the payments were made to protect his family from emotional harm.
BREAKING NEWS: DA Alvin Bragg has amended Trump's criminal indictment in the so-called "hush money" case to include one charge of Felony Flatulence. If convicted of the charge, the former president faces up to one year in solitary confinement with his own gas, and will only be fed Chipotle.
How is it that you miss the obvious?
You are going to be so in ... trouble with McDonald's over that blatant Joe Biden led attack. You did see the numerous bags of McDonald's food going into the courthouse today, right?
Cohen wrote the checks. Cohen was guilty of tax evasion. The misdemeanor has passed the statute of limitations. The case is a sham case. The only party guilty of election fraud or election interference is Bragg!!!!
Not to affect the outcome, the late charge was to buy an election. All politicians say things, do things to affect the outcome of an election. Conspiring to protect his name is not a crime. Hillary was nailed for a similar charges and was fined. Sussmann and Cohen were both paid by their boss, both lied under oath, one was convicted and one walked. Guess who walked?
He is not charged with using election or campaign funds. He is charged with 36 counts of falsifying business records.
And Trump could quite possibly win, or if convicted, be fined, with no jail time... but your incessant whining to try and claim Trump is some kind of angel being wrongfully prosecuted is fucking boring. Get a new hobby....
It's a shame that the laws and the justice system don't work the way you want them to.
I am so pissed I didn't think of that one.
Amen

Oh, damn! Do you remember how Dewey ranted and raved that the election had been stolen from him, to the point of filing 63 lawsuits across the country (winning only one), and hatched a plan to send slates of fake electors to Congress to have himself declared President, then incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol to try to prevent the counting of the electoral votes to confirm Truman as the rightful winner of the election, then lied about the election being stolen for another four years?
