Yes, but it also involved any and every other crime as well.
Yeah, he was angry that Donald threw him under the bus.
No prosecution? He spent years in the federal pen for it. Don't you ever check your facts?
And you can prove this is why it was done?
Well yeah, what do you class, having your lawyer draw up a legal non disclosure agreement? Have it legally signed and binding ? A legal expense....LOL they turned it into a federal election crime.
It isn't quite what you say.
Trump and his pretty not-so-smart lawyer, Alina Habba, were sanctioned a million dollars for suing Clinton and others over all that.
I know CNN, The most anti trump news organization around, On the day the court went to trial. Asked again, What charges were there?
its interesting. Clinton paid alot of hush money (Millions? I can not remember) to shut someone up who was going to charge him with sexual harassment. , but he is ok. Trump paid a small amount to keep a woman who made accusations against him he denied, and he is the worse criminal ever.
Yes, it was proven in a court of law. He signed checks and recorded the expense as part of payment for a retainer that did not exist. The Trump Organization filed false records at his behest.
To see, you would have to look. Your story is that this business whiz, this graduate of Wharton School of Finance uses antiquated software that cannot accurately track expenses?
Too bad there were handwritten notations on the invoices and a pity there was a recording discussing the structure of the repayments....
That is bizarre to me. I always thought that a campaign contribution was someone giving you money - not you paying someone else.
I think it was thrown out because the jury was unable to come to an agreement.
I didn't mention CNN. I posted the actual indictment from the NY county DA office. The charges are listed with legal specificity.
It is a crime in NY.
Do they all run businesses? If they do, do they all falsify the records of their businesses? And finally, do their states have criminal statutes like this one that require them to have done the falsification in pursuit of another crime?
They lawyer testified that he performed none (or almost no) services for Trump after the payments began. Trump provided no invoices for those services from the lawyer.
Donnie broke the law. The law caught Donnie. A jury found him guilty at trial. That is not broken legal system, it is a properly working one.
No, He paid his lawyer back for something his lawyer paid to stormy daniels. Things like that happens all the time
Yawn.
No, a campaign contribution can also be something in kind - say, donation of a venue space.
No, her campaign paid for it with campaign money.
Once again, read them yourself: Jury instructions.
lol. Ok
In kind payments are also contributions. Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels for the purpose of supporting the campaign is a campaign contribution and an illegal one because it is far to large. Donald Trump *can* pay her off for campaign reasons, but must report it on the FEC filings like any candidate must report large cash contributions (or loans) to their own campaign. Trump didn't want this one on the FEC books, so he had someone else do it. Pecker and his publications were unwilling to do anymore (fearing the same campaign contribution laws), so it fell to the even more morally void Mr. Cohen to break the law for Trump.
The Steel Dossier was *paid for* (indirectly) by her campaign. It was an expense. It was a part of contract to the business intel firm Fusion GPS to research Trump. (It was Fusion GPS that chose to hire Steele. The Campaign had no idea until they started getting reports.) Clinton's campaign paid for the Fusion GPS work through their law firm and did falsely report it on the FEC filing as "legal expenses", for which they later admitted guilt and paid a fine.
