You vanished. And came back with a muzzle on.

Paying hush money is not a crime in any state and the classification of legal expense is the misdemeanor past the statute of limitations.

but using the hush money payments and classifying them as legal expenses to conceal a crime is a felony in New York states.

guilty as charged.

Yes: The sensational “hush-money” framing from our terrible media obscures what the trial was about. Credit the the Post for doing a little better re: illegal election influence.

“Lock her up” ring a bell? No?

Did they lock her up? No, they stopped the investigations.

@Publius

Garland has zero influence over state cases.

That’s not true at all.

All bark and no bite?

Sounds like Trump.

according to a proven liar with no corroboration

No. You’d have more of a point if it was just Cohen’s word. It wasn’t. The prosecutors were scrupulous in corroborating their case with meeting-logs, signed checks, recordings, as well as supporting testimony from people like David Pecker. To say “with no corroboration” at this point suggests willful ignorance. It’s just objectively wrong.

I mean , it’s really nothing new as far as I can tell. He’s played martyr for a very long time now.

Being threatened with being locked up due to being an extortion victim, based on a political motive, goes beyond playing.

[DougBH]

None of the actual supposedly criminal acts, such as misrepresenting the accounts for tax purposes, were ever corroborated. You have Trump at some meeting and this is supposed to corroborate Cohen’s fantasies. They do not.

[DougBH]

Paying an extortionist is a scheme to,illegally influence the 2016 election. I suppose Democrats eat up,this nonsense. Well, this forum says yes, they do.

@Ben_Natuf

uncorroborated testimony of a proven liar.

Apparently the jury disagrees with you, as they seem to have credited Cohen’s testimony.

This is our politics now. Once one party crosses a line, you can guarantee the other party will cross it even further.

@Ben_Natuf

which does not prove that Trump knew what Cohen was doing

The jury disagreed.

@Ben_Natuf

according to a proven liar with no corroboration

It is baffling to me that you’re still making credibility arguments - that ship sailed as soon as the jury came back with a verdict.

You are welcome your opinion, but that ship has sailed.

The jury clearly believed Cohen’s testimony. They’re the only ones who get a say, and they already decided.

Well, I’d say one needs to be in prison first before claiming to be a prisoner, no ?

Also, has he maybe threatened to “lock up” anyone before ? Like eight years ago or so ?

[mobiusptc]

Not just signed checks…signed checks with his signature signed in the oval office…

[DisturbedGuy]

Trump is on TV embarrassing the crap out of himself. Someone hand that man a shovel so he can dig that hole faster.

What crime was concealed?

[Oldandtired]

Nope biden showers with his young daughter. Which is perfectly fine with democrats.
Which is worse in your mind consensual sex with an adult or a father forcing his young daughter to shower with him?

utter nonsense. Why you making stuff up?

[Nemesis]

Dont forget it is consensual sex with an adult other than your wife who is at home with your newborn son. You conveniently left that out. .

Though showering with your kids is creepy as ■■■■ and certainly is questionable. No doubt about that.

But I walk around at home in just my undercrackers and if my adult kids come round dont expect me to change. Drives my wife bananas.
