The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

[Septic]

Biggest takeaway is Pecker testified he/Cohen/Trump had relationship to kill stories before Trump declared he was running for POTUS...

Just making it harder to connect dots to cover up campaign finance crime.....

Either ABC OR USA Today is lying...

Pecker testified that he promised to be "eyes and ears" because he knew the Trump Organization had a "very small staff." Pecker said he promised that, if he heard anything negative about Trump or anything about women selling stories, he would notify Michael Cohen, as he did over the last several years.



Edit - Appears to be semantics. The paying did not happen until 2016 but the relationship existed much longer.....

Notifying Cohen is one thing, catching and killing the stories is another.

I'd say the biggest take away from today is that Trump paid a sleeze peddler buddy to catch and kill bad stories about him while promoting BS (aka #fakenews) against his political rivals.

Not both?

Yeah, but this gives Trump's side the avenue to say it's been a long-term relationship to notify of any allegations to prevent personal/professional shame. John Edwards created a precedent here with his case....

Edwards got off in his case because he showed it was done partially to prevent personal embarrasment.

I don't think it's the avenue you think it is. If that's where they plant their flag, trump is dunzo.

What's the 2nd crime? Is paying Cohen it (campaign finance) or is it going to be not reporting the Enquirer's in-kind contributiom to the campaign?

A lot of similarities here....

With a grand jury continuing to weigh charges against Donald Trump, the case is drawing comparisons to the indictment of John Edwards on similar hush money accusations.

Why not both?

For the record, I tend to think this is the softest of the attempts to nail trumps fat ass to the wall. Still, it is fun to watch him squirm.

I particularly enjoy his inane bullet point ramblings as he whines and pleads after court each day.

I was told (by Trump) that this kind of charge against him was the first of its kind and was as a result of a crooked judge, biased DOJ all done at the behest of Joe Biden.

Did John Edwards cook his books too?

You need a 2nd crime for get the felony for the books.

Trump's second crime is awfully similar to what Edwards was not convicted for...

 

[BreatheUT]

Its a country prosecutor. Its a complete witch hunt. I believe America see how political this is

The Trump haters in this thread just love the process even if they take the L at the end. To anyone that is not a retard, it is a political witch hunt which is one of the more dangerous things this country can have. They don't care. They are the types who would love getting shocked over and over in an electric chair and hope to be pulled off alive after 30 minutes.

There are also differences between the two cases, observers noted, with one of the most notable being the timeline of the payments.

The payments to Edwards' mistress began in 2007 and continued after he suspended his campaign, while Daniels received a one-time payment just before the 2016 election.

"It's really hard to believe that the primary motivation wasn't to prevent it from coming out and affecting the presidential election," Brett Kappel, a campaign finance law specialist, said of the payment to Daniels.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how the trump team explains away how they documented the payments.

They are no better than what they portray Trump. Their hate and joy of his misery says alot about their own narcasissm and lack of morals.

If this was I serious issue I could understand, but this is a felony trial about an NDA payment labelled as a legal expense. Kooks. At this rate, society is going to have to reclaim this country because it's going down the toilet bowl otherwise we'll be finished in a few decades. There are 55M people in this country not born in America, the left is breeding and developing America haters and are trying to project this title on the opposition.

Can you imagine the fight we'd be in with the mobs if you look at what we're seeing across the country?

I do think the bigger issue might be what the Enquirer paid and did not get reimbursed for. I think that's your second violation much more than trying to compare/contrast Cohen's role and Edwards wealthy friends.

Trump being cheap and not paying for all Enquirer stories might be his downfall here...

I remember the time when Republicans claimed to champion personal accountability.

Now the MAGA goofs trash the only institutions left that can hold anyone accountable.

You probably haven't noticed that trump never has mounted a cogent defense against his indictments - only to smear the judges (& their families), the justice system, the government, prosecutors, witnesses, juries and anyone else who crosses him.

And you goofs lap it up while parroting buzzwords. I chuckle to the thought of you trump simps drooling while the billionaire dupes you nerds into believing life is unfair to him.

A trumper lashing out at others over perceived "narcissism" and "lack of morals" is rich.

To be fair, trump has a history of stiffing his vendors. They could try and chalk it up to that...

"hey, they weren't special - we didn't pay anyone we were supposed to."

If Sepic had a real argument like this was something serious would be one thing but the happy dance over an obvious political persecution to tie him up in court, while the loser Biden is campaigning gives Septic hope.

 

[Septic]

So, if you don't like trump, you're no better than him?

Meh, whatever you say. I haven't cheated on my wife or sexually assaulted anyone. I damn sure haven't been indicted in multiple districts on felony charges.

He needs to relax and take a break. We are venturing into BB drunk posting territory.

If you had a real argument you wouldn't need to gin up something like me supporting Biden.

Laws the law. Either you broke it or you did not. Now it's comical to me that LG has a hardon for this but had no problem giving Clinton a pass bc it was "sex"
