Damn - 2 people beat me to it.
Good grief. The quotes of Donald explicitly denying making the payments are right there. Donald lied to your face and you still defend him. That’s eleventy-dimensional.
It’ll be a great ■■■■ show. Can’t wait. Pense’s SCOTUS nominations will be just as great as Trump’s if you succeed.
But I’m betting you don’t.
Um… no.
The good thing is that people die and get replaced.
even trump’s SCOTUS nominees will pass on and get replaced i remember thinking the same exact time when the Burger court came into vogue,
The only thing different is that I prolly wont be alive to see Gorsuch and Kavanaugh pass.
But they will and things will change once again.
The difference between you and me is that I am a long term thinker and you a short term one.

Mr. Cohen made the payments.
Guess who told him to make those payments.
at the direction of candidate trump. Hence conspiracy.

That is not a violation of election law. Do you have anything else?

Its a violation of Campaign Finance Laws. You got anything else? Case slammed shut!
Get over it! Politicians lie. Nothing new. We expect them too. My feelings arent hirt. Im not his wife.
Obama and his campaign were found guilty of campaign finance violations to the tune of $2 MILLION and the penalty was a $300K fine.
John Edwards went to trial for campaign finance violations when private money was used to support his mistress and their love child and he was found not guilty of CFV.
So there is precedent for both situations of guilt and innocence of CFV and whatever President Trump did falls in the John Edwards category so he’s correct that there is no crime.
Politically it will not hurt President Trump as it did John Edwards since Trump voters were well aware of his lifestyle, his multiple marriages, his multiple affairs so the revaluation that he paid hush money is/was no big surprise.
The immorality of LIBERALISM has been forced on society so you could say it’s come back the bite leftists in the form of President Trump.

Obama and his campaign did not commit a felony. Hence only a civil fine.

It is likely a violation of campaign finance laws unless he can convince a jury (presumably) that the payments would have been made for personal reasons anyway. That was basically the defense of Edwards, who was found not guilty.

He and his campaign were not charged with a felony. Neither has Trump been charged.

the Cohen case is different.
He pleaded guilty.

Correction: AT LEAST two felonies.
A side note:
I had an interesting conversation recently with a friend who is a court reporter. She mentioned that the sentencing memo is an official record and the words in there are accepted by the government as fact. So it’s significant that the memo doesn’t say that “Cohen claims” that individual 1 directed him to make payments, or payments to porn stars and playmates were “made allegedly at the direction of individual 1.” It says that individual 1 directed these payments, as a statement of fact like the sun rising in the east. This suggests that they have overwhelming evidence that Trump directed those payments.

Donald IS pretty bigly. I guess we can allow him a little white lie here and there. After all, the other side is worse/everybody lies/MAGA

But someone in Trumps campaign has pleaded guilty of a felony and implicated the President.
