Paying people off to avoid a scandal is perfectly legal

[Lewdog]

“Trump gained a personal benefit, so it can't legally be a campaign expense. “

So theoretically every thing spent during a campaign could fall under personal benefit since the candidate and the candidacy cannot be divided. Such idiocy is straight from crazy Kookoo land.

The FEC uses the rule of "irrespective". Would the expense have occurred irrespective of a candidacy?

Campaign finance laws state that candidates cannot use campaign funds for expenses that would exist irrespective of the campaign, Bradley explained. These laws were created to thwart bribery and to prevent candidates from misusing funds for their own benefit.

If Trump was worried about it ruining his marriage, he would have paid her off YEARS AGO, not the month before the election.

Quit being ridiculous.

She wasn't shopping her fairy tale years ago. Pecker told Cohen she was looking for a payday.

.

Yes she was... she did a fucking interview in 2011 with In Touch Magazine... he didn't pay her off back then.

I'm still waiting for one of the Prog Loons to 'SPLAIN how a plea agreement which is not part of case law turns into a legal precedent.

even better the guy plead guilty to a charge that was not a crime

--LOL

You’re stating that
An attorney plead guilty to a charge that wasn’t a crime.

Sell bullshit somewhere else.

yes that is exactly right

eventually when nothing happens to Trump

and your butthurt grows uncontrolled

you will realize you have been played once again

but for now carry on with your

"we really REALLY got him this time" crap

--LOL@UTROLL

 

[Lewdog]

There is no where in the universe that such an absurd allegation makes sense…especially when one considers the guy who entered a guilty plea is an attorney himself.

But hey, you’re a trump dick sucker…nobody is expecting you to be smart, honest, moral or anything like that.

--LOL stop it with your moral outrage you dumb fuck

Not outraged; in fact, I’m enjoying your rather bizarre stance that a lawyer pled guilty to something that wasn’t a crime. It shows the very loose grip on reality that you and other trump dick suckers have.

troll boy the FEC regulations have been posted showing it was legal

outraged oh you will be when this " we really got him this time" flops

He plead guilty to campaign finance violations….
If it were legal, he wouldn’t have pled guilty….
I’m not sure what part of this that is vague….

He would have plead guilty to fucking a unicorn in the ass if that would reduce his sentence.

Sorry there boss you are talking about another thing you know nothing about. Cohen had to give his plea in front of a judge who asked him questions in order to validate whether he was making a plea deal for a REAL crime.

You should stop making such ridiculous statements about law that you have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

 

[bripat9643]

Welp it appears the NY DA has evidence Trump didn't pay Cohen back himself... he used Trump Foundation money and they listed it as a business expense for legal fees. Oops.

Post it, asshole.

The judge never asked any such question, douchebag. The defendant isn't the one who decides whether the charges against him are legitimate.

Go find it yourself dumbass. This wouldn't be an issue if you paid attention to the news and a brain larger than a chickpea.

 

[Muhammed]

I'm not sure why, but it seems the Democrats think that paying off a woman to be quiet about a scandal is somehow illegal. Well, it isn't.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering what any of this has to do with collusion with Russia...

It’s not ok when it’s a violation of election law

If Hillary did this you’d be in melt down

Now be quiet. You sound stupid

Its not a violation, legal experts and even the former head of the Federal Election Commission say so. Tissue? lmao!

She's an idiot.

he can plead to whatever he has been forced too

And you think the judge would just accept a plea to a non-existent crime?

Payments to keep someone quiet during the election in coordination with and at the direction of the candidate is a violation of election laws because it was not reported. Had Trump reported and declared the contribution, it would have been legal. How serious it is depends on whether it was intentional or it was simply a clerical mistake. Frankly, I think it's crazy to think that the Pussy Grabber had any attention of reporting the payoff to a porn star as a campaign expense and the funds as a contribution.

Yeah, I would say it is more like that Roddy Piper movie "They Live." Trump supporters are walking around seeing a total different reality than the rest of the world.

The funny thing is... the movie premise is fucking perfect, except they aren't aliens, they are morons.

There is no shortage of Corrupt Dim prosecutors eager to investigate Republicans. Criminalizing political differences is what Dims do. It's what Stalinists do.
