So he went to jail to “gain favor”
That’s absurd
No connection? He facilitated the payment to hide the Stormy Danials affairHe went to jail for crimes committed that literally had no connection to President Trump.
He thought that he could help himself by trying to harm Trump.
It isn't like I am posting news here; this was all talked about at the time.

Campaign violations are federal crimes, not state crimes. How can a state court prosecute a federal crime. And show us where in the campaign laws of that time, does it state it is a crime to have someone sign a non-disclosure agreement.The difference is Congress does this LEGALY.
Trump wasn't charged for fucking or paying off women. He was charged for fraudulently recording such campaign related payments to conceal their true nature.
There is no proof of an affair. Nor is there a law requiring affairs are to become public knowledge.No connection? He facilitated the payment to hide the Stormy Danials affair

What law dictates that this was illegal. Go ahead and post the law.At this point the actual sexual contact is irrelevant. The case isn't about the contact, it is the about the illegal manner in which the payments were made.

Trump makes a desperate attempt to downplay illegal payments to women
President Donald Trump began his week by trying to downplay illegal hush payments to women made late in the 2016 presidential campaign — ones that federal prosecutors now say he directed and coordinated — as a mere “simple private transaction.”

Inside Barr’s Effort to Undermine Prosecutors in N.Y.
Shortly after he became attorney general last year, William P. Barr set out to challenge a signature criminal case that touched President Trump’s inner circle directly, and even the president’s own actions: the prosecution of Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s longtime fixer.
The debate between Mr. Barr and the federal prosecutors who brought the case against Mr. Cohen was one of the first signs of a tense relationship that culminated last weekend in the abrupt ouster of Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney in Manhattan. It also foreshadowed Mr. Barr’s intervention in the prosecutions of other associates of Mr. Trump.
By the time Mr. Barr was sworn into office in February, Mr. Cohen, who had paid hush money to an adult film star who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, had already pleaded guilty and was set to begin a three-year prison sentence, all of which embarrassed and angered the president.
But Mr. Barr spent weeks in the spring of 2019 questioning the prosecutors over their decision to charge Mr. Cohen with violating campaign finance laws, according to people briefed on the matter.

Eventually, Billy the Bagman pushed to have the charges against Cohen dropped. From Berman's book..........."While Cohen had pleaded guilty, our office continued to pursue investigations related to other possible campaign finance violations. When Barr took over in Feb. of 2019, he not only tried to kill the ongoing investigations but...incredibly...suggested that Cohen's conviction on campaign finance charges be reversed."
Why?
Because Individual 1 was implicated in the same illegal campaign finance violations Cohen had plead guilty to.
Book: The DOJ almost implicated Trump more directly in a crime
It was a shocking enough document as it was. Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, had pleaded guilty to illegally concealing hush money paid to two women who were accusing Trump of extramarital affairs. The 2018 charging document implicated Trump, named as “Individual-1,” notably by saying he attended a meeting about how he might quash any negative stories about his relationships.
And it might have implicated Trump even further, then-U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman now says — were it not for the kind of politically tinged meddling that he says was endemic in the Trump Justice Department.
The New York Times last week briefly noted that Berman’s new book alleges that a Justice Department official tried to get references to Trump removed from the Cohen charging document. And now that the book is out, we have Berman’s fuller account of the events.

Much has been made by people like me about how ugly things could get with respect to the DoJ should Trump be re-elected. In part based on what kind of retribution he has promised against those involved in trying to bring him to justice. But also because of his track record of using the DoJ, one could say weaponizing it, for his own benefit or against his perceived enemies. Like this...........
‘Really shocking': Trump’s meddling in Stone case stuns Washington
President Donald Trump’s post-impeachment acquittal behavior is casting a chill in Washington, with Attorney General William Barr emerging as a key ally in the president’s quest for vengeance against the law enforcement and national security establishment that initiated the Russia and Ukraine investigations.
In perhaps the most tumultuous day yet for the Justice Department under Trump, four top prosecutors withdrew on Tuesday from a case involving the president’s longtime friend Roger Stone after senior department officials overrode their sentencing recommendation—a backpedaling that DOJ veterans and legal experts suspect was influenced by Trump’s own displeasure with the prosecutors’ judgment.

Past, as they say, is prologue.
That's what you want it to be about
That does not prove an affair, and that can not be called, "falsification of a state business record".Wow, you are one seriously stupid fuck to think that prosecution would ever take this case while not being prove that beyond any reasonable doubt in a court of law.
What the hell do you think Cohen was paying pornstar named Stormy $130,000 for? Legal services that Trump re-embursed him for perhaps?
Since when is a non-disclosure agreement a state business record, can we see the evidence that supports 35 felony charges?FPOTUS#45 isn't charge with criminal federal campaign finance law violation.
FPOTUS#45 is charged with felonious falsification of state business records.

Since when is a non-disclosure agreement a state business record,

Where is the law that states Trump can not write a check from one of his business accounts? There is no proof, no evidence that any record was falsified.When it's paid with business funds.
If FPOTUS#45 had issued a certified check from his personal account(s) and not gone through the Trump Organization, and then caused their records to be falsified, he wouldn't be in the legal jeopardy he's in today.
Where did I say Daniels was the victim?
She had sex with FPOTUS#45, he paid her to prevent the information from coming out in the press just prior to the election, she made $130,000 for the transaction.
She was later released from the NDA and can now tell her story.
I don't see victimhood in that.

The difference is Congress does this LEGALY.

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.At this point the actual sexual contact is irrelevant. The case isn't about the contact, it is the about the illegal manner in which the payments were made.
