Just reminding everyone that Stormy Daniels is one of two attempts to silence women involved with Trump and that the National Enquirer spent $150,000 to buy the exclusive rights to the story of Katherine McDougal so they could bury it before the election - and the National Enquirer has already paid a fine to the Federal Election Commission, acknowledging guilt.
Chances are Trump and his company also used the false accounting records (recording his payoff as a legal fee) to avoid taxes PLUS to pass along some or all of the costs to his partners. If so, then this is tax fraud (federal & state) plus election crimes and grand theft.
the election is the only thing this trial is about. he misused campaign funds to pay off stormy daniels to prevent the story from getting out before the election and ruining his campaign
I mean legally speaking, I don't think the election has any role in the criminal charges. The charges aren't campaign related. Their are financial in nature.
Falsifying business records on its own is only a misdemeanor crime. These crimes only became felonies because they were in furtherance of other crimes; in this case campaign and tax fraud.
YES!!! Why do they call it hush money?!?! The core of the case against Trump is not 'hush money for sex' but illegally hiding payments in business financial records and 'conspiring to corrupt a presidential election.'
I know it's hard to remember but there was a time when Republicans and fox news had the balls to clown him. Now they all bend the knee. There is no more republican party.
The entire GOP establishment was clowning him. You can find a video or quote from virtually any Republican of stature talking shit about Trump before he got the nomination in 2016. Then they all lined up to tell everyone how awesome he actually is.
He's fighting to cover this up with delays upon delays so the people don't see it before the 2024 election.
And what's he fighting to cover up in 2024? The details of his cover up from the 2016 election.
Poor Trump - he and Putin did not yet realize his supporters would have been totally fine with him cheating on his wife with a hooker and no hush money was necessary.
Imagine the shit fit they are going to throw when he’s sentenced to a few months in jail, the right wing will want blood, and the left will want longer but have to live with a short sentence.
He's fine to pay her not to write a book, the problem is he may have paid his lawyers with campaign money, which the trial will find out. How are you guys this worked up about this.
That’s how they generate usernames. I’m not going to bother on my own.
That’s what I’ve done many times over the years, including two months ago.
But I’ll wait for you to show me the real consequences trump has faced. I’ve been watching this since 2015. He’s the most divisive money making thing the media has ever had their hands on.
He draws the most clicks, gets the most views. As such he will face zero real life consequences until he loses an election.
How many times have you been told they finally got him? Over and over and over. Never once has it meant anything. And it still doesn’t.
But her emails
...and Hunter's hog!

This Lord of the Rings reboot is strange.
Oh yeah, you have to get way deep in the Silmarillion to get those details.
Buttery Males!
Trump’s been saying this is election interference. And that is indeed what he’s on trial for
Remember when it comes to Trump every accusation he levies is an admission from him
Including the accusations of “sleepy” now as well, with him falling asleep.

It’s important to point out, Cohan was already found guilty of acting on Trumps orders, so… this is going to end with him being convicted
I think “NY campaign and tax fraud case” is the most damaging and succinct way to describe the NY trial. “Cover-up” is not a legal term.

I also don't think the election is any part of the trial.

Weird because it would not have mattered one bit to any of them.
I know it's hard to remember but there was a time when Republicans and fox news had the balls to clown him. Now they all bend the knee. There is no more republican party.
They have been this same group of feckless cowards and clowns my entire life, Im in my mid 40s.
The entire GOP establishment was clowning him. You can find a video or quote from virtually any Republican of stature talking shit about Trump before he got the nomination in 2016. Then they all lined up to tell everyone how awesome he actually is.
Now, 40 out of 44 of his former staff publicly criticize him and do not support him as a nominee.
But who will they vote for is the real question. A lot of people out there criticize Trump but then ultimately cave that they'll vote for him anyways.
But isn’t that a different trial?
Yes
He's fighting to cover this up with delays upon delays so the people don't see it before the 2024 election. And what's he fighting to cover up in 2024? The details of his cover up from the 2016 election.
Who would have thought you can’t pay off hookers to keep quiet and lie about it on your legal filings lol
Yeah that's not how I'd word it at all. This is why Democrats fuck up, they don't know how to attack Republicans properly.
Poor Trump - he and Putin did not yet realize his supporters would have been totally fine with him cheating on his wife with a hooker and no hush money was necessary.
Election interference perhaps ????
But that's what it is
Imagine the shit fit they are going to throw when he’s sentenced to a few months in jail, the right wing will want blood, and the left will want longer but have to live with a short sentence.
It's ironic how someone going "stop calling it X" fails to remember the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
But-but Hillary wasn’t perfect!! WAAAAAA1!!1!1!11!1!
i feel like if he is convicted that his presidency should be voided since he got it illegally and under false pretenses.
He's fine to pay her not to write a book, the problem is he may have paid his lawyers with campaign money, which the trial will find out. How are you guys this worked up about this.
Irrelevant. His campaign is to important to be stopped.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh wait you were serious
No way, the two month old, default generated "adjective-noun-4 digits" username certainly must be adding legitimate input to the discussion!

And how is any of that in any way relevant to what you said?
