Michael Cohen could and should be disbarred if he violates client privilege

[WorldWatcher]

The payoff was 100 percent legal unless Trump used campaign funds. Since he was trying to keep the issue quiet he used his own money thru a lawyer. Lawyers do this every day, really

Trump denied making the payment:

"Thursday broke his silence on Stormy Daniels, saying he had no knowledge of a $130,000 payment his personal attorney made to the porn star days before the 2016 election.

The president said he did not know where his attorney Michael Cohen got the money to pay Daniels, which was part of an agreement to block her from publicly alleging she had an affair with Trump.

“No,” Trump told a reporter aboard Air Force One who asked if he knew about the payment."

Funny though, not one news outlet is reporting this including FOX...………………

Cohen can not even mention Trump without being disbarred.

Hmmmm...when did you get your law degree? Attorney/client privilege doesn't apply if the attorney was participating in illegal activities with the client.

There is no evidence of that though, is there?

Isn't that what they are investigating? Are you privy to all that they have and the investigation itself....or are you just guessing from the outside?

Sorry - If my attorney and I are engaged in felonious activity , then our AC privilege is out the window ..

Donald was correct

So paying off a porn star to keep quiet is a felony.

You have the statute for that right

May constitute campaign finance violation. But Stormy is the least of what Cohen is likely to have on the Dotard.

Btw - Special Master went through 1.3 million pages of documents. Only around 20,000 or so of those were set aside as possible AC privilege.

See, Cohen wasn't really a lawyer Rosy - He was lawyer-ISH

Did he declare it as a political contribution?

Not even sure what that means.

Show anyone that Trump used campaign money and u will make sense. Until then u r an imbecile

You know there are things called "in kind contributions" made to support a compaign and I know you are trying to play semantics with "used campaign money" as a limiting factor.

However campaign finance laws require the reporting of "in kind contributions" to campaigns, not just directly paying of monies to a campaign.

Might be true, he could have ask Cohen to handle this and he did. Entirely plausible as this is what lawyers do

If Trump paid her off just before election day because he thought it would help him win, then yes.. it was a political contribution.

Lol your asinine theory requires that Cohen had direct access to Trumps campaign money, which he could have but I doubt it

So you don't understand campaign finance laws and "direct" v. "in kind contributions". Well that explains it.

NEWS FLASH! In New York, the conviction of a felony, ANY FELONY, for ANY MEMBER OF THE BAR, is automatic disbarment. The least of Cohen's problems is disbarment, moron! He wants a minimum sentence if he's convicted and that would be by the prosecution flipping him!!

Nope, I never said anything about Cohen having access to Trump campaign money.

But see I know that payments, goods and services, etc. are called "in kind contributions" which also are required by law to be reported as part of campaign finance laws. Paying a porn start $130,000 in hush money just days before the election to influence the election for having boinked said porn start while his wife was at home having recently given birth to his son to keep that information from the American people might be a violation of campaign fiance laws.

Study up Dorfus

It’s obvious that the $130,000 had the purpose of influencing the election by silencing Daniels. When Cohen set up a shell company in Delaware to wire the money to her days before the 2016 election, Trump’s campaign was still reeling from the leaked Access Hollywood audiotape of Trump bragging about sexual assault. Meanwhile, Daniels was in discussions with news outlets to reveal her alleged affair with Trump from a decade prior. After she received the six-figure sum from Cohen, Daniels’ story went unreported.

Campaigns are required to report all contributions. This includes spending that is done on a campaign’s behalf and coordinated with the campaign.

Campaigns are required to report all contributions. This includes spending that is done on a campaign’s behalf and coordinated with the campaign. It’s considered an in-kind contribution. Trump’s campaign never reported the money transaction in its FEC disclosure forms, even though Cohen was acting on behalf of Trump when he wired the money to Daniels. Common Cause, a nonpartisan government watchdog organization where I work with the legal team, filed complaints in January with the FEC and the Justice Department to investigate the source of the $130,000.​

Logically Cohen did use money that he received from Trump, as Trump might have been paying Cohen millions

Privilege doesn't apply to criminal behavior.

Might be true, but the stormy payoff was 100 percent legal, and even if they find 100 things Cohen did that was illegal, they had no warrant for those and can not use them.

No it wasn't. It was of substantial material value to the tRump campaign.

The payoff was 100 percent legal unless Trump used campaign funds. Since he was trying to keep the issue quiet he used his own money thru a lawyer. Lawyers do this every day, really

LOLOL

There are no boundaries to your ignorance on campaign finance laws.

No, it does not have to be campaign funds to be illegal. Anything of value to the campaign must be reported, even if the funds come from the candidate.
