A lot of people use attorneys to pay things. escpecially when legal documents are a part of it. We don’t even know if Cohan billed Trump, called Trump or what. Now as for the legalities of it being an illegal campaign expenditure. uphill battle in a conviction. Like we are talking Mt Everast. Remember, same charges were brought against Gary Heart and he wasn’t convicted. Only other case like it I’m aware of.
That’s why he turned control of the company over to other family members. He did so shortly after becoming president. Shouldn’t need to see records before campaign or after he turned control over to someone else.
But I’ve been assured that the majority want congress to have the taxes. This doesn’t reflect that AND it’s a left leaning source. You don’t find it surprising at all huh?
His Tax Refunds have everything to do with financial obligations and those who curry favor with him. Its the public’s right to know whose pocket the President is in.
Yes we do know that Cohen billed Trump and that Trump even paid. In one instance writing a check from his business that he has supposedly distanced himself from while he is President.
The argument that… well setting up an anonymous LLC in Delaware in order to hide payments to a porn star that the President had sex with right after the First Lady gave birth to their son might not technically be illegal… is really shaky ground to start on.
Yeah. Anonymous sources reported to Fox News, breaking days before the election that have never been backed up by any corroborating reporting or intelligence reports (and there have been numerous) two and a half years later.
