We Finally Know the Case Against Trump, and It Is Strong

It's great have a clairvoyant in the discussion who is able to determine that the case against Trump is pathetically week without ever seeing a single piece of evidence.
Clairvoyance not required. Don’t be silly, Flops. We know the bullshit allegations. All 34 of them.

You don’t seem as agitated by the dopey OP contention that the case is “strong.” Why is that?
 
USMB desperately needs a policy that before you speak on technical levels about things like finance, or repairing cars, that you have experience or knowledge with the subject
Otherwise high school kids just home from school blather on with feelings and no knowledge of.
Do that and this would not be USMB, a Board that promotes free speech, no matter how stupid it might be.

If you want anyone to believe your claim that these are really bullshit allegations, then you need support your claim based on the facts of the case, otherwise, there is no need to waste time on replies.
 
He was convicted of making illegal campaign contributions, among other charges. The hush money payments were considered a campaign contribution.

Yeah, that's funny. It clearly wasn't a campaign contribution.

All of these legal charges, both Cohen's and Trump's could have been easily avoided if Trump would have written the payoff checks on his personal account, not altered any business records, and reported those amounts as campaign contributions in October 2016.

If Trump wrote a personal check for the NDA, that would have been a campaign contribution?

Then he could have reported the payoffs as campaign expenses in November after the election and it would have been all perfectly legal.

Paying off a bimbo with campaign contributions is perfectly legal? Are you sure?

His first thought is how can I hide these payments so no one will discover them?

When you're paying someone to keep something quiet, it's pretty much the
point that no one discovers them. Right?

Recording the payments as legal fees allowed the Trump Organization to deduct these payments from his federal and state taxes.

From what I've seen, payments for most, not all, NDAs are already tax deductible.
Campaign contributions are not just money. A contribution is anything of value given, loaned or advanced to influence a federal election. The contribution does not need to be given to the campaign. If you buy a billboard that says elect Trump that is a contribution. If you pay someone hush money to stop the spread of rumors against Trump, that is a contribution. A single contribution limit from an individual in 2016 was $2700. So Cohen's contribution of over $300,000 in hush money is a violation of the law with a maximum penalty of 5yrs. Actually it's two violations. It exceeds the limit and he did not report the contribution. Any contribution over a a certain amount must be reported.

If Trump wrote a personal check for the NDA, that would have been a campaign contribution? Yes A candidate can contributed unlimited amounts of money or things of value to his campaign to be elected. However the candidate is required to report the contribution. In the case of hush money payments, Trump would be required to report the amount as a contribution and also as a campaign expense. Obviously he did not want to publicize his hush money payments so he had Cohen do it and he paid him back after the election.

It's almost as if the grand juries, prosecutors, and judges understand the law. And those defending Turmp do not.

Probably so. State Criminal Judges and DA tend handle a bigger variety of criminal cases than most lawyers. In New York all felonies have to go through a Grand Jury before being tried. So prosecutors have to present the case twice. In the Grand Jury, jurors ask questions and this gives the prosecutor an insight into how well a jury will responds to his case. However, for a defendant like Trump that has unlimited resources to spend on lawyers, he can hire the best. However the DA is limited to prosecutors who are certainly not the best in the country.

Both council and the prosecutor will make statements in an attempt to confuse their opponent. Although both sides must share information in discovery, neither side is required to reveal their strategy. Knowing your opponents strategy is immensely helpful in a trial.

They are bullshit claims, as I have already posted about numerous times. But you’re free to buy them as being the epitome of valid legal claims if that makes you feel better.

Yet, just for shits and giggles, maybe you should identify which of the many claims are valid and state the basis for your belief.

I know. I know. A real stretch.
 
Why is paying off a bimbo a violation? Of any law?
Depends who's blackmailing the DA.
