TheDoctorIsIn:

If you have a lawyer draft a contract to buy a car, the money to purchase the car isn’t a “legal expense.”

and a car is not a legal instrument.

your analogies are as bad as your legal opinions. Stick to real estate

130K of 460K was reembursment. the rest went to Cohen.

and no, if there is a single payee, and a single line item, you annotate the item as accurately as possible. 72% legal expense. 28% expense to settle a legal instrument = legal expense

The car is not a legal instrument - the contract to buy it is. Just like while the NDA is a legal instrument, the consideration (payment) for it is not.

Your little verbal tic about “sticking to real estate” is particularly amusing in this context, as real estate attorneys would, if nothing else, be well aware of the difference between consideration for a contract, and legal fees.

What legal work did he perform for Trump in return for that money?

According to who?

In the legal world, that’s a quick path to disbarment.

The legal system is working.

You and I have a very different opinion on selective political prosecutions representing any sort of example of the system working.

These Democrat shams are hardly an example of anything “working”.

And one of the witnesses in this case knows that.

disbarment from what? Bookkeepers are not lawyers. They’re not even accountants.

Ben_Natuf:

exactly how should one annotate a payment in the books 72% of which is legal expenses paid to a lawyer, and the other 28% the legal expense of an NDA?

If the NDA and cohan’s work associated with it were to further the interests of the campaign, it should be noted and reported as a campaign contribution .

That’s why Clinton and the DNC had to pay 100K…

You’re trying to hard.

130 was a payoff to a porn star he ■■■■■■■

the rest was a bonus to Cohan.

Nemesis:

What point are you trying to make? Lets not play silly games.

Easy.

The point is that lack of evidence doesn’t necessarily equate to innocence.

Al Capone was responsible for multiple murders and crimes but actually went to jail for tax evasion.

Evidence can be hidden just as easily as it can be manufactured.

Right, we all know that, and even if someone is found not guilty still doesnt mean they are innocent.

Then we will have to disagree.

But if Trump is found not guilty I am sure all criticisms of the jury from the Maga loyalists will vanish.

Exactly.

Then why all the “there’s no evidence “ garbage.

As if a lack of evidence proves innocence.

Sorry mate, not being difficult but I genuinely do not understand the point you are making.

No worries.

Example:

The bidens must be horrible to their dog since it has bitten like 30 different SS agents.

Reply: There is no evidence that they are horrible to their dog.

When everyone knows the number one reason why a dog becomes a biter is because of mistreatment by the owners.

The excuse that “there is no evidence” is used around here as a declaration of innocence.

What’s that about?

Guilty until proven innocent?

Not at all.

They are trying to prove something to prove him guility.

The combination of two sex related scandals would have been bad for the campaign, so they had to take action, which was allegedly handled illegally.

Read what you posted.

They can’t/won’t understand that because it’s embarrassing that Defendent Donald’s unrestrained motormouth was the reason that we all got to hear about his extramarital bedroom antics facilitated by his nasty yes men.

Peeking into people’s bedrooms is cringe. Even 4th hand.
