Legal Q: Why didn't Trump just pay off Stormy Daniels himself?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 22nd, 2024 11:09 PM Author: Exciting Step-uncle's House if the issue was evading campaign disclosure laws so nobody would know about the Stormy connection, why go through Michael Cohen at all? Why not just pay her off personally? What was the legal rationale for the way they did this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5520595&forum_id=2#47603306) |

Date: April 23rd, 2024 4:54 AM Author: Awkward concupiscible box office Yes. The crime was failing to report it as a campaign expense/donation. The reality is that Trump 100 percent must have known that there were potential campaign disclosure requirements when choosing to pay some whore to keep her mouth shut during the middle of a campaign. But disclosing it would defeat the whole point of the payment. And he probably thought at most there was some fine or slap on the wrist, not actual jail time.

Date: April 23rd, 2024 5:02 AM Author: At-the-ready beady-eyed mood is every personal expense that might indirectly benefit one's political campaign a "contribution"? Does a candidate have to report a haircut because not looking like a slob "influences" voters? If he has a kid to appeal to family values voters, are expenses associated with the kid contributions?

Date: April 23rd, 2024 5:31 AM Author: Shaky becky no, that's why intent matters. was he paying off the whore to avoid wife finding out or was he paying off whore to influence election? that's what the trial will hinge on. |

Date: April 22nd, 2024 11:42 PM Author: fragrant learning disabled elastic band Successful independent people view it all as "their money," they don't think of "personal" vs "business" money in the same way that wagecucks or even public company CEOs do. Makes sense he'd think of his campaign the same way.
Edit: and they are ingrained to run every single penny of expenses thru the business. |
