'He wrote all of it down?': Prosecutors claim to have handwritten notes of Trump hush money scheme

[Rawley]

A shout out to Big Al for keeping copious records of the hush money payment. The prosecution's case is made a little easier. It kinda makes a mockery of Trump's denial he didn't schtoink Stormy. Sorry Melania, you married an unfaithful pig of a man.

LOL Cause Rachel never steered you wrong on Trump's taxes, Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, January 6th ... God bless you for sticking with her.

Hand written notes of not a crime. Wow!

That sounds serious!

I'm hoping that's the "nothing to see here" defense Trump's attorneys use as the prosecution goes about methodically proving the charges.

Paying her off isnt a crime, nor are his personal records concerning these payments.

The documents detailed three “hush money” payments made to a series of individuals to guarantee their silence about potentially damaging stories in the months before the election. Because this was done with the goal of helping his election chances, the case implied, these payments amounted to a form of illegal, undisclosed campaign spending. And, Bragg argued, because Trump created paperwork to make the payments seem like regular legal expenses, that amounted to a criminal effort at a coverup.

Weren't even his personal records, it was some bookkeeper in the Trump organization.

 

[Rawley]

He bonked Stormy and in an effort to keep it from hurting his election chances, he had Cohen pay her off. Then he falsified records to conceal the pay off. Cohen went to jail for his dirty deeds in behalf of trump. Now it is the fat sleepy assholes turn on the hot seat.

What specific records did he falsify Jimbo? Have the told you that yet?

 

[Clipper]

Looks like a witch-hunt to me.

A stiff boner has no conscience. Or in Trump's case he has no conscience, period.

Now the poor thing can only get a date with his right hand.

Odd the FatFuck didn't charge him with "illegal, undisclosed campaign spending"

Oopsie.

Well, this is why, like a mob boss, Trump doesn't like people around him taking notes, using email, or recording anything in any way ever.

Notes are usually pretty good evidence. I guess we'll see.

That is weak at best, and looks to be more of a federal offense if true, and not a state offense.
The feds didn't want to touch it.

Irrelevant. The state offense is the falsification. It's upgraded to a felony for the coverup of another crime. It doesn't matter if that other crime is state or federal.

But to be clear, it's a state offense. If you bother to read the reporting, the law code was named in a court filing.

Biden is violating the US Constitution with the goal of helping his election chances.

What Trump did wasnt a crime before and isnt a crime currently.

Wrong, of course.

The only statute cited in the indictment is 175.10 falsification of records.

The "another crime" is not specified.

Merchan said they did not have to specify which "another crime" the charges relate to, and the "another crime" does not have to be committed by the person who is charged with 175.10.

The "another crime" can be:
Cohen's excessive campaign contribution (FECA)
Violation of NY Tax Law 1801 (a)(3) or 1802 (which are misdemeanors)
Violation of NY Election Law 17-152 (also a misdemeanor)

The prosecution is barred from offering any other crime in support of the felony enhancement of 175.05 (misdemeanor falsification of records).

That is the ruling from Merchan in the "Decision and Order" from February 2024.

Indeed it was, in a court filing yesterday. It's recent news, so you may not have seen it.

It brings more clarity to why Pecker is a witness for the prosecution, too.

FOUR MORE YEARS PAUSE

"Prosecutors claim to have evidence" that the defense doesn't know about? More evidence of a Banana Republic legal system.

 

[elektra]

Of course, the obvious is that there is still no crime.

Nobody quote the law

Nobody links to the law

2006, seems the statue of limitation would of ran out on any crime that is 18 years old

Who said the defense doesn’t know about it?

What an amazingly ignorant post.

This has all been discussed and posted here many times. You should feel very embarrassed over your abject and inexcusable ignorance.
