RUDY ON HANNITY: The President Violated ‘ZERO’ Campaign Finance Laws

I’AM SO glad Rudy has come on board,with His help now the Swamp will get drained, He’s tough and the president needs His voice and guidance. Trump should be Trump and not let all the noise interfere with His plan to right all the wrong of the last at least 20 years of bad policy.MAGA TIm

Its not at all clear that this was a campaign relkated expense. Did “Stormy” seek out Trump or did the Trump campaing seek out Stormy? If the first, then the only relation to the campaign could just be that it got Stormy thinking in money terms.

That might work if there wasn’t a paper trail from Cohen to Stormy that confirms it was about the election

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing adult film star Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford), claimed there were “extensive communications” between the attorneys arranging the infamous hush payment, showing it “had everything to do with the election.”

Trump just threw rudy under the bus. Breaking on NYT right now.

Dumbass Rudy running off at the mouth confirmed that Trump was paying Cohen back for apparently a situation he supposedly didn’t know about. Little problem with that.Ethics in Government Act requires federal officials to disclose liabilities in excess of 10,000 in the preceeding year to be disclosed. The last report Trump signed mentioned no liability to Cohen… oops, another law violated.

President Trump undercut his attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, on Friday, and said the former New York mayor will eventually get the facts right regarding a payment to a pornographic actress who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump.

Everything “has been said incorrectly,” Mr. Trump said, blaming the media coverage and Mr. Giuliani’s short time on the job.

Mr. Giuliani, who joined Mr. Trump’s legal team last month, “started a day ago,” Mr. Trump said, speaking to reporters on Friday as he left Washington to attend a National Rifle Association convention in Dallas.

“He’s a great guy,” Mr. Trump said. “He’ll get his facts straight.”

Which facts does he need to get straight? Which facts are wrong?

Right now the incredibly improbable story is that

-Trump may or may not have had an affair. (He denies it).
-Cohen kept large retainers to put out fires (like Stormy) as he sees fit without notifying Trump
-Cohen wrote up the NDA without notifying Trump
-Cohen paid Stormy off with 130 K without notifying Trump.
-Trump paid Cohen back without knowing what he was paying for.
-Trump didn’t know about the payoff so his money reimbursement had nothing to do with the campaign.

Does anyone seriously believe any of this?

I guess it’s hard to keep facts straight when you are just making everything up.

Only complete ■■■■■■■ idiots.

In a telephone interview with NBC News, Giuliani insisted he only shared details of the payment with Trump about a week ago.

“I don’t think the president realized he paid him (Cohen) back for that specific thing until we (his legal team) made him aware of the paperwork,” he said.

Giuliani said the president responded, “‘Oh my goodness, I guess that’s what it was for.’”

He seriously wants us to believe that Trump just found out last week about his payoff for Stormy. “Oh my goodness.” Ha ha ha ha ha ha…

I don’t think Trump would use the expression “oh my goodness” either.

It’s just a remarkably bad set of lies. There is just no way that any of this is true.

And really, I believe we heard Trump paid Cohen about 425K. so 130K for Stormy…call it another 100K for Cohen’s work…who is the rest of the money for? Who else did they pay off?

A truly disgusting president. I never thought I’d see this in my lifetime.

The weird thing is yesterday Trump confirmed what Giuliani said in his bizarre lawyerly set of tweets that probably wasn’t written by him. Then the next day he says Rudy got it all wrong. Sanders is left hanging in the wind and the whole thing looks like a mess with potential serious criminal problems a la John Edwards. Unless the dude has dementia (which I sometimes wonder about), he is a text book case of how not to conduct a coverup.

Yeah, it’s proof yet again of a couple of things:

  1. Liars often get caught up in their lies. Can’t keep them straight.

  2. Trump truly is an idiot. We all realize he didn’t write those stiff tweets yesterday. It’s now obvious that he didn’t even read them. Or, if he did, he didn’t remember them. Probably didn’t read them.

  3. Trump can’t keep his mouth shut. I know this personality type from people in my life. These narcissistic ■■■■■■■■ artists can’t let anything lay there. They can’t stand the thought of someone thinking ill of them, and they are so cocky and sure that if they just say one more thing, they will straighten it all out.

  4. Trump doesn’t really understand that he is in a different world now. In his private life, at the country club;
    a) No one would really be calling him out on his ■■■■■■■■■ The other members of his club would just smile and nod their head and go about their business because it doesn’t really matter to them. They know trump is full of ■■■■■ but so what? He’s a funny guy, has a nice club, tells a good story, and that’s that, who cares?
    b) This gives trump the impression that people really buy his lies. Because in his private life, when he lied to people, they pretend to believe it. either because they wanted to do business with him, or because they just didn’t care. We’ve all seen this. It’s country club idiocy at it’s finest.

But now he is accountable. Now people aren’t trying to do business with him. He’s the POTUS. They are looking to him to lead the country. And trump just doesn’t get that.

I believe he said it more like “zeeerooooo”. Poor Rudy just didn’t have his facts straight…

looks like id win a house

Haha. How so?

You underestimate cratic…

Haha possibly yeah.
