Why Alvin and not the Feds? Or, why Cohen and not Individual 1?

I forget, did she pay taxes on the $130,000?

I don't know.

Are payments for boinking a porn star considered income? Did the Trump Organization issue her a 1099?

(But honestly, I'd assume it's income and that she paid taxes on it unless otherwise informed.)

Not a campaign payment.

Trump will lose that argument in court.

You have to be straight stupid to think that Trump paying off his fuckdolls specifically in the middle of a campaign is not a campaigning matter, especially considering the fraudulent coverup in financial records that give away criminal intent.

So he went to jail to “gain favor”

That’s absurd

He went to jail for tax evasion.

Income from an NDA is taxable.
NDA payments are tax deductible.

Stormy's tax compliance is irrelavant to case againt Trump.

Trump Co. never dealt with Stormy acc. to their financial records.

They lied and filed these payments as Cohen's retainer. They were not Cohen's legal fees, they were in fact pass-through payments to Stormy.

How is it a campaign donation? Or campaign spending?

Paying an NDA isn't criminal.

Maybe, but hilarious if she didn't pay.

You show your ignorance in this post, in order to be charged with a felony, the illegal manner in which the payments were made had to be to cover up another crime. Sexual contact is irrelevant, it is not a crime, nor is signing a non-disclosure agreement a crime.

You just made my argument, true. Thank you. Trump did not commit 34 felonies.

The other crime is campaign finance violations. Thats what the fraudulent financial records were in furtherance of.

Nondisclosure agreements may be hush-hush, but they still have to be reported as income.

Dummy, the other crime is campaign finance violations. Thats what the fraudulent records were in furtherance of.

If Cohen contributed too much, that's his crime, Trump can spend as much of his own money that he wants, so Trump couldn't have violated campaign finance laws if he paid it.

Are you sure? Because part of Trump's strategy is to assassinate the character of everyone involved in cases against him. Witnesses for the prosecution, jury members, grand jury members, judges, judge's clerks, DA's, SC's, their staff, everyone. Why would he do that if it didn't work?

 

[berg80]

It wasn't actually a contribution. It was part of the conspiracy to conceal a crime.

He could in theory, except he didn't do it legaly.

Stormy was paid off by Trump Co. under fraudulent bussines expense records, not personaly by Trump in compliance with campaign finance laws.

True, candidates can contribute unlimited funds to their own campaign.

However the candidate is still required to report such contributions of in-kind donations to the FEC as part of campaign finance laws. Now with this just before the election, it still wouldn't have become public knowledge prior to the election because there wasn't a filing due. The next filing would have been after the election.

(Then there is the other aspect which is that the Trump Organization is a separate legal entity from Donald J. Trump the individual. While the individual can make unlimited campaign contributions to his own campaign, can a business owned by the individual? Don't know. Doesn't really matter as that is not charged in the case since the case is not based on federal campaign finance law, it's based on state falsification of business records law.)

The NDA was an in-kind donation?

NDAs are legal business expenses.
