TRUMP 2024

I am not saying it. The DA is saying it. The allegation is that there was no retainer attached to said payments, as claimed.

Prosecutors charge that Cohen wired $130,000 to Daniels’ then attorney just 12 days before the presidential election. Cohen funneled the money by making the payoff through a shell company, which was funded through a New York City bank, prosecutors say.

When Trump won the election, prosecutors continue, he repaid Cohen in a series of monthly checks. Initially, those checks came from the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust – which was launched in New York to retain the president’s namesake company’s assets during his time in the White House. Then, payments to Cohen came from Trump’s bank account, per court papers.

Prosecutors say that 11 checks were doled out for this spurious purpose – and that Trump signed nine of them; the Trump Organization processed each of these checks “disguised as a payment for legal services rendered pursuant to a non-existent retainer agreement”.

Trump’s alleged passing off hush-money payouts as remittance for legal work “made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise”, prosecutors say in the counts of his indictment. This was done, they say, “with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof …”.

Prosecutors say there were a total of 34 phoney ledger entries to hide the purpose of this “covert” payment. They also contend that those who partook in the scheme plotted to mischaracterize these disbursements for taxes.

Trying to see what’s so scary in this post other than the hyperbole. Who wrote this??

Anyone wanna ask dildorude where he copied this hyperbolic article from?

In court papers, prosecutors say that Trump tried to stall the Daniels payoff “for as long as possible”. Trump told Cohen that if he could delay the exchange until after the election, they might be able to avoid giving her any money, “because at that point it would not matter if the story became public”.

But, “with pressure mounting and the election approaching”, Trump agreed to pay off Daniels and told Cohen to go forward.


THAT reads as election interference, to me. But you all read differently. Obviously.

Show me the law that says "election interference" is a crime.

Well, in 2016 the FEC disagreed with you. You always admit you’re not a legal expert, sooooo I guess your incorrect….again.
 
Trumps troubles all started with his pecker and a Pecker is testifying against him. Poetic justice

....and NY state don't give a shit about campaign finance laws either. The biggest violator of NY's campaign finance reporting laws is the governor, Hochul.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ordered key evidence in Jack Smith’s classified documents case to be unredacted.
The newly unredacted documents revealed Biden’s White House had direct ties to the Mar-a-Lago raid. The Biden Regime was also directly tied to Jack Smith’s investigation despite claims to the contrary from US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Uh oh

Which would be relevant in another thread not about Trump.

They are not universally used. We used engagement letters but never spelled out fees or retainer details. I just don't see a smoking gun there. But wear what you dig.

I’m not prosecuting(and certainly not persecuting) the case. Just showing “retainer agreements” ARE a thing whether you use them or not. I respect your perspective, however.
 
Trump doesn't like courtroom artists, I think they got him perfect.

I think all that needs to be said is about timing. Stormy makes accusations weeks before the election? Trump is put on trial right when campaigning starts? Surely just a coincidence?
