The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

[hog88]

There is a shameful lack of accountability from Republicans being directed toward Trump for his role in this situation. This wasn't a media creation. Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, wrote a stripper/porn star Daniels/Clifford a $130,000 check, payable under the condition that she sign a non-disclosure agreement less than one month before the 2016 Presidential Election. None other than Michael Cohen has testified to this before the grand jury.

... and yet, this is all just a "witch hunt", with Donald Trump being an innocent victim of overzealous, prosecutorial misconduct? Sure thing. Trump had no part in this situation at all.

It is a witch hunt since there was no crime committed.

Dude..it is 7 years old and America would not GAS. It is unnecessary and very divisive. We all know the goal in 2024.
And as AirVol said what about the Congressional Hush Fund?

I don't think anyone is disputing that he paid her off. Unless those funds came from the campaign the payoff wasn't a crime.

I thought that IS the contention???

Did Trump use DJT dollars to pay hush money?

 

[hog88]

You mean besides Trump? Who claims that Cohen did it from the kindness of his heart? LOL.

So what? I don't think anyone is disputing that Trump lies.

 

[luthervol]

And yet the candidate you voted for in 2016 struggled with the message. Ironic.

And you just confirmed you are fine with a guilty until proven innocent approach. You also suggested that approach when you stated “Let the courts decide” in regard to Trump earlier in this thread. Where do communist fit on your continuum?

That's once again an absurd take. It seems to be a recurring theme with you.

 

[scooty_vol]

Maybe ... but 3 key items are not in dispute:

1) Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) and Donald Trump met in Lake Tahoe in 2006. They had their picture taken together.

2) Michael Cohen did write Daniels/Clifford a check in October of 2016, for $130,000.

3) Cohen was known as a "fixer" for Trump at the time.

It's a bad look for Trump ... Would a Democrat be accorded such a blind eye by evangelicals under the same circumstances? Unlikely.

Donald Trump is a garbage human being.

This happened 7 yrs ago. It is beyond the time frame to arrest someone or indict someone it's beyond the statute of limitations

For some reason the DOJ and FEC walked away from the case so I'm assuming they couldn't prove the money came from the campaign.

 

[scooty_vol]

All the stuff you guys are going after Trump but you end up with some extortion charge that happened 7 years ago I would say that's quite weak

 

[VolStrom]

I don't think anyone is disputing that he paid her off. Unless those funds came from the campaign the payoff wasn't a crime.

If Cohen paid them initially and was reimbursed by Trump or his campaign, they need to prove that Cohen submitted a bill for an actual campaign expense or a Trump expense. Just using that disbarred attorney's word for it, won't go far.

That's not true.

Hunter Biden is pimping out his dad and his dad's office and you guys defend him. Even if you hate Trump what the government is doing is scary, it should not be this way

 

[McDad]

So, the NYC DA has evidence connecting the payment and campaign money?

Or, is this a perjury deal where DJT testified under oath she wasn't paid at all?

What is the alleged crime?

 

[scooty_vol]

Absolutely

The alleged crime is Trump being president

Trump’s Hush Money Payments Were Likely a Criminal Offense

It's more complicated than that.

 

[TN Ribs]

Didn't she loose a car and has to pay Trump like 300k? And your thrilled because of tweets and nicknames....so sad and deluded that you think this has any impact on anyone but small minded Dems

Coco Chow
Pocahontas
Crooked Hillary
Pencil Neck
Lyin' Ted..........................the list goes on and on.

So, yes, I am thrilled. Tiny earnned it. While I am thrilled, you are clearly triggered. Toughen up.

They talked about this years ago..and it is just coming back around..after Cohen goes to prison and SD owes Trump $300K....wink wink

See ^^^^

Zero accountability directed towards Trump.

I'm pretty sure it's not a perjury case. What the DA has is a mystery to me, I read that he was trying to say that the payoff was a campaign expense that wasn't reported as such no matter where the money came from.

DA's are completely honest and pure. You can trust that when they charge someone with a crime, it is as pure as gold.

Pence is still mocked and by all appearances he does abide by his "family values" rhetoric.

Carter was mocked.

The NDA makes it more complicated than that.

Too bad the DOJ and the FEC disagreed.

BOMB THREATS shut down New York court as Trump indictment looms: Cops flood the streets and receive hoax calls as U.S. braces for indictment on Wednesday 'at the earliest'

Manhattan’s civil courthouse was shut down by a bomb threat and the NYPD received a flurry of hoax calls as the city braced for the looming indictment of Donald Trump.

It's all-hands-on-deck for the New York Police Department and Metro Police Department as all officers on Tuesday are expected to be in uniform, ready for anything in the former President is charged.

Officials in New York City and Washington, D.C., are preparing for possible unrest and demonstrations following the former president's plea to his supporters to 'protest, protest, protest' in response to a potential indictment handed down by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg involving hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

ALL NYPD cops are in uniform TODAY in anticipation of Trump's arrest | Daily Mail Online

Anyone calling in a bomb threat these days is an idiot...

According to who?

 

[TN Ribs]

Can you really own someone when you owe them $300,000?

Nothing to do with money, you know that. She emasculated him and it's wonderful. Crazy to think a porn star has more character and integrity than Tiny but she does. And she's far smarter and wittier than Tiny as well.
