Trump's lawyer created shell corporation to hide payment to porn star

[JimKiler]

Ding ding ding ding!!! There's a theory going around that Trump didn't give a shit about hiding this from the public--he might be more concerned with what's in his pre-nup with Melania, and what her future divorce lawyers might do with this.

There could have been an agreement to allow Cohen to take care of this stuff like this payoff without telling Trump to give Trump deniability. I would do that if i ran for office and I would invite porn stars to my hotel room if I had that much money! In other words i will never run for office.

If that second mention is accurate - it would make more sense - the NDA was about the book and not the affiar - and Trump's attorney was about to publish a book about it? Thats a pre-payment. That would have been interesting to see. Trump's lawyer just basically put a giant flashing "investigate my finances" sign on his front window.

So why the odd amount? Is $130,000 a round number in rubles?

Lol, Cohen states a lawful payment, hmmm? Does he mention what the lawful payment was for? Did he get to co-star in a Stormy Daniels movie?

Was it reported to the IRS and a 1099 filed?

It kind of looks like a form 69 was filed.

That's a lot of money for one "deposit."

Might have been stiff penalties for premature withdrawal.

I believe that will happen when we start seeing Trump's base say they will not vote for him a second time. In other words it will not happen. The weird thing is between this and all the crap about Russia, anyone else could run against Trump and win but I doubt the Democrats will find anyone who can lead them to victory.

I could see a democrat who is not hated win the next election without a direct attack on Trump but stating they are against any collusion with foreign governments.

That's not how they work. They don't care about sexually assault, or divorce, or cheating as anything important. All they care about is anti abortion and keeping the darkies out, they will still vote for someone as long as they are against abortion and only allowing white people into the country.

 

[Jhhnn]

So weird. Cohen has been Trump's lawyer for a very long time so he's undoubtedly puled more sleazy shit than I can imagine. The way he did this seems like a pretty standard slush fund method, something he figured nobody would ever even look at. Which would have been true if Trump were not President. He may ultimately claim that Daniels was blackmailing him personally for all I know.

Kee-rist- Trump voters know he's an amoral horn dog. They seem to admire him for it. Boffing a porn star is just another notch on his gun.

Remember that when he made that payment, Cohen, like Trump and more than 98% of the world, believed that Trump would never be president.

I think election night saw many, many more folks than we could currently imagine on the Trump campaign shitting their pants...for all sorts of reasons.

So much sleaze and funny money funneling to hide with such a long time to keep it hidden. A very monumental task considering how unprepared the Trump Clan was when his winning the big one was a much bigger surprise to him than anyone else in the world.....well, except for his good friends from Russia of course.

But it looks like that unpreparedness is giving Mueller a much better angle of attack on the ramparts Trump and his fellow Repubs in the legislature have put up to protect Trump from being impeached.

Can't wait for the results of that investigation to see the light of day.

Do you think most people are idiots and incapable of good decisions? I do not, I think most people can make good decisions and thus someone who can campaign and not get smeared by Russia's trolls can win.

 

[SMOGZINN]

Do you think most people are idiots and incapable of good decisions?

Yes. In fact I can give you empirical evidence. All you need to do is drive during any morning commute in any major city.

That would prove the opposite. Most people are good drivers. Just because the idiots on the road stand out does not mean they are the majority. Why don't you count the cars tonight that do not drive crazy and let me know if your empirical evidence supports your claim.

If you think most people are intelligent and can make good decisions, you are sorely sorely mistaken.
Humanity has a long long track record to suggest that an individual person is smart but people overall are stupid and are easily manipulated.

 

[emperus]

Imagine if this had happened under a Democratic president.

Russian trolls merely echo GOP propaganda. It's like the Republicans farmed out the really nasty stuff. They can smear anybody.

And if people can make good decisions then why is Trump President?

It's because sometimes they don't.

I tried that once. I almost got to count to one, but then they flipped me off and cut in front of me so that they were one car length ahead of me.

So should we have only certain people allowed to vote?

I didn't say that. People need to learn not to get caught up in Trumpian emotional claptrap. They need to think before they commit. As I've said many times, anybody who finds themselves on the same side of the election with Russian propagandists & provocateurs needs to look at their own headset.

LOL this just keeps on getting better and better. What will it take before the GOP abandons ship? They were all over Bill Clinton for doing only a small fraction of things compared to what this clown has been doing.

"Report says..."

 

[Sunburn74]

No one is saying that.
Rather just recognize and accept that the Russians were successful in their campaign. The russians say they were successful and all of our intelligence agency leaders strongly and unequivocally agree with them that not only did it happen but that was successful (refer to the latest round of senate hearings with the directors of the CIA, FBI, and NSA). So it boggles my mind that people would disagree and say it wasn't effective.

If you agree that the election was affected, the concern should be how do we protect the next cycle so that our elections truly represent the will of the people as opposed to the will of the russians?

 

[Puffnstuff]

I wonder which one it is?
