Trump’s Failure To Report Stormy Daniels Payoff Referred To Prosecutors

Trump and his White House staff had for months denied knowing anything about Cohen’s $130,000 payment to Daniels to buy her silence about the affair the porn star said she had with Trump a decade earlier. Trump’s newest outside lawyer Rudy Giuliani finally admitted that Trump had repaid Cohen in a Fox News interview earlier this month.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The storm continues, unabated. The truth is blowing in the wind.

Wow ....

That some serious desperation.

From your link:

The Office of Government Ethics determined Wednesday that Cohen’s payment to Daniels, which Trump repaid last year, constituted a loan that should have been reported on the president’s June 2017 financial disclosure form.

Do you honsetly think they DOJ can prove this hush money was actually a loan?

Not gonna happen.

What else could it have been but a loan?

What else could it have been but a loan?

Hush money that was never intended to be paid back?

Again .....

The desperation is astounding.

You keep clicking your heels in that lil' Alt Left Universe you are living in and hoping that the DOJ can somehow make this hush money into a loan.

Do you really think Comey made a gift of $130,000 just out of the goodness of his heart?
If that's so, why did Trump pay it back?

What gift?

 

[PLC1]

What gift?

The 130 grand? If it wasn't a loan, was it a gift? What was it?

It was hush money .... and you know it.

Exactly ...

Do think these extremist really thing normal thinking Americans are on board with their cray-cray.... ???

Of course I know it. Hush money paid by Cohen and repaid to Cohen by Trump, who denied knowing anything about it. So, either it was a loan, and paid back, or it was a campaign donation, and therefore illegal. Take your pick.

Again ....

It really doesn't matter what you think it was.

What matters is if the DOJ can convince a Judge that this was a loan.

And, that lil' Alt Left Universe fantasy isn't going to happen.

Which "lil' Alt Left" fantasy? That Cohen made an illegal campaign donation, or that Trump lied about not knowing about the hush money?

I'm betting on the latter, just because lying is what Trump does best.

Great - so worst case we have some campaign finance FEC violation. Who really cares? Anyone remember when this was supposedly about the Trump Campaign colluding with Russia to win the election?

Trump colluding with Russia is still an ongoing investigation. No proof of that yet, but plenty that Russia meddled in the election. This is about paying off a porn star to keep quiet, then lying about it. Just par for the course for Trump and his minions.
