[Procrustes Stretched]

The Wall Street Journal got into the Catch & Kill Magadonian hopes and dreams long before Joe Biden and others entered into conspiratorial cabals seeking to derail Mr. Trump and crush the MAGA movement.

Trump Lawyer Arranged $130,000 Payment for Adult-Film Star’s Silence

A lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to a former adult-film star a month before the 2016 election as part of an agreement that precluded her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump.

Then along came Common Cause, the watchdog group based in Washington D.C., with chapters in 35 states, that was founded in 1970 by John W. Gardner, a Republican. After the WSJ published it's hit peice on Trump, Common Cause filed complaints with the DOJ and the FEC.

Holding power accountable for illegal in-kind contributions $130,000 from Essential Consultants LLC to Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford).

They were all in cahoots. The WSJ knew that groups like Common Cause were lying in wait. There were many, many others all seeking to take down The Boss of Trump Tower, leader of the Cult-of-Personality. But it is beginning to look like they've all failed. Although Mr. Trump lost (Bigly), a civil case brought by Ms. Carroll...




... we all know Mr. Trump is winning in all the criminal cases being brought against him.

What happened? (It wasn't Biden or the DOJ or Democrats):

In January 2018, the Wall Street Journal broke the story that Michael Cohen – who was President Trump’s personal lawyer and a self-described Trump “fix-it guy” in 2016 – had set up a shell company in Delaware (Essential Consultants LLC) back in October 2016. He then arranged a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels through that shell company right before the November 2016 presidential election.

Ms. Daniels had earlier alleged that she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. In the fall of 2016, she was in talks with one or more national media outlets to go on the record with her story.
How did Common Cause respond?

On January 22, 2018, Common Cause became the first organization to file a complaint with the Department of Justice and a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that the payment of $130,000 from Essential Consultants LLC to Ms. Daniels was an unreported and illegal in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. According to the complaints, the payment was:

For the purpose of influencing the 2016 presidential general election.
Made in coordination with the campaign via Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen.

How did Common Cause respond?​

On January 22, 2018, Common Cause became the first organization to file a complaint with the Department of Justice and a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that the payment of $130,000 from Essential Consultants LLC to Ms. Daniels was an unreported and illegal in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign. According to the complaints, the payment was:

• For the purpose of influencing the 2016 presidential general election.
• Made in coordination with the campaign via Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen.

At that time, the source of the $130,000 was unknown – and Common Cause named both the Trump Organization and “John Doe” as possible sources. In March 2018, however, based on public statements by Micheal Cohen claiming that he paid the funds to Ms. Daniels, Common Cause amended its complaints to allege an illegally large in-kind contribution from Cohen to the Trump campaign.


It’s clear the money was paid because the Trump team feared that the emergence of her story just before the 2016 election would torpedo Trump’s chance of becoming president. That makes the payment a campaign contribution – and the Trump campaign’s failure to disclose it to the Federal Election Commission illegal.


And if the money came from Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, as Cohen claims, it exceeded the legal limit for campaign gifts by more than $127,000.
