Trump appears to have been done in by.......pardon the pun........

[berg80]

....a Pecker.

Not the oddly shaped one described by Stormy, his porn star paramour, the one he used to schtoink her. But rather his buddy Dave. Maybe former buddy?

One of the more uncomfortable things Dave testified to was his concern that catching and killing the Karen McDougal story might violate campaign finance law. He was so concerned he consulted a number of attorneys on the matter. When the prosecution asked him if after those conversations he concluded buying Karen's story would be a bad idea, he answered yes. Why?

Because in answer to a previous question..........."Were you aware that expenditures by a corporation made for the purpose of influencing an election at the request of a candidate are illegal?".......he similarly answered yes. Hmmmmmmmm.

Pecker says McDougal's story could have 'hurt the campaign'

No wonder he didn't want Trump, through Cohen, to reimburse him for the cash paid to Karen. No wonder when it came time to pay Stormy he refused. Which set in motion the process of Cohen setting up an LLC to hide the payments to Daniels for which Trump reimbursed him. And subsequently the falsified financial documents Bragg has charged Don with creating.

As an aside, I can't help feeling a little bad for Karen. She seems to be remorseful for her part in an adulterous affair and genuinely duped in to thinking Don cared for her and not just her vajayjay.

Coangelo regrets calling Pecker, the defense shredded him yesterday

Catch-N-Kill is not illegal.

And is a term made up by the Manhattan DA as Pecker said under oath when he said he never heard that term until they [Manhattan prosecutor] fed it to him.

Oh, and this:

"Do you know if anyone else besides Michael Cohen had any knowledge of this contract?" prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked.

"Yes, I believe Donald Trump did," Pecker responded.

"Was your principal purpose to suppress the story to prevent it from influencing the election?" Steinglass asked.

"Yes," Pecker said.

"Were you aware that expenditures by corporations made for the purpose of influencing an election made in coordination with or at the request of a candidate or campaign were unlawful?" Steinglass asked.

Pecker said he was aware and confirmed that the Enquirer's parent company, AMI, never reported the payment to the Federal Election Commission.

"We purchased the story so it wouldn't be published by any other organization," Pecker said.

"Why did you not want it to be published by any other organization?" Steinglass asked.

"We didn't want the story to embarrass Mr. Trump or embarrass or hurt the campaign," Pecker said.

If the linkage of the campaign finances is solid legally to the Stormy pay off, Trump is mince and meat.

That is the case the prosecution is skillfully building brick by brick. One the defense has yet to put a dent in.
