Obviously you are confused and can't separate politics and a court of law. Like so many of Trump's ignorant supporters. I suppose that's the only alternative to not being able to accept the truth.

Not one. And not one of you can provide the statute that underlies that crime. You know why, because fat Alvin can't either. This obscure N.Y. election law is at the heart of Trump’s hush money trial Prosecutors say a misdemeanor state conspiracy statute spells out the underlying crime Trump aimed to conceal when he made hush money payments in 2016. May 6, 2024 at 5:00 a.m. EDT An obscure New York state election law that has rarely been prosecuted over five decades has been dusted off by Manhattan prosecutors and elevated to a prominent role in Donald Trump’s criminal trial over allegedly falsifying documents related to a hush money payment during the 2016 election campaign. Attorney Martin E. Connor, a former New York state senator, suggested that statute 17-152 is seldom prosecuted because most defendants in such cases also commit more serious crimes and face felony charges. “Things that might technically fit that [statute] would get prosecuted as bigger crimes,” said Connor, who has practiced law in New York for 53 years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/06/trump-hush-money-trial-election-law/ ****** Or as another NY State election law attorney said elsewhere as to why 17-152 has rarely if ever been prosecuted to wit: If you decide to influence an election by fire-bombing your opponent's election HQ, you are going to be charged with felony arson -- not bothering to charge with some election law violation.

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 2 hours ago, Skipalongcassidy said: Davis urged Cohen to "own his lying" and his "sins" while answering questions. Successful criminal prosecutions frequently rely on the testimony of people who are themselves convicted felons. Prosecutors negate the past behavior of their ‘flawed witnesses’ by use of corroborating testimony from multiple other witnesses and corroborating hard evidence. Cohen’s part in the Prosecution’s case is not to provide new revelations of Defendant Trump’s crimes, rather to link the events and acts that others have already testified to and for which hard evidence has already been presented. It’s for the Jury to decide, and it’s getting very close to the time when they will; which perhaps explains the histrionics we’re having to put with from the Defendant’s supporters. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can lead a Horseface to water, but you cannot make him drink. In this case, it's read. The actual indictment is available all over the web, so it isn't "not one person can provide", it's the entire World Wide Web that CAN provide the charges and explain the law in full detail. Obviously the Cult of the Orange Blubberbutt seems to believe their messiah is as infallible as a Borgia-Era Pope. And a CULT it absolutely is. The mob bosses' soldiers showed up en masse today, groveling little sycophants that they are, to demonstrate their fealty, loyalty and slavish submission to John Gotti trump, not only to show loyalty, but also to try to stare down Sammy The Bull Gravano Michael Cohen, as well as to play surrogate and proxy for their messiah who is under a gag order, saying for him what the court doesn't allow him to say. I would not be the least bit surprised if Kim Jong-un in North Korea taped that odious display, is showing it to his own Generals and clap-happy disciples, and telling them "I WANT YOU TO BE LIKE THIS! LOVE ME LIKE THEY DO" Only the dumbest among the Freedumb Cockups and VP wannabes who showed up do not know 100% that trump schtupped Stormy and McDougal and ordered the payments because---as Hope Hicks and Michael Cohen testified---trump feared news of his tryst and affair would hurt his election chances, and that trump was intimately involved in the fraudulent scheme to record the hush money payoffs as business expenses. You cant provide any facts. You specialize in invective and hate. You just wrote a whole distribe that means nothing. Tell us the facts. You cant. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Its like your ilk marching for "Palestine" but you dont know where it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 12 hours ago, Danderman123 said: Trump recorded the transactions as "legal services", which is how invoices from attorneys are normally paid. The problem is that the payment to Michael Cohen wasn't for legal services, it was compensation for an illegal campaign finance violation. As for Trump, for the first time, he admitted he knew about the NDA. Oops Do you have a quote? thought not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
