    One isn't likely to find direct evidence of such payments because they would not, by their very nature, be public records. We do have evidence, however, that Trump has settled HUNDREDS of claims with various accusers and those claims ARE public records...

    One of them was mentioned at trial today, Sjudin.

    This article notes three others beside McDougal and Daniels. No detail on who they are. I did a quick google search but 99.99% of the articles are focused on this trial. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/27/stormy-daniels-lawyer-alleges-trump-paid-off-three-additional-women.html There is an...

    Giving consideration to the campaign and doing it just because you're campaigning are two different things. Trump OBVIOUSLY did this kind of thing even when he wasn't campaigning so, at most, the timing was with consideration of the campaign. In theory, Bragg should have to prove that these...

    OK, riddle me this, if a guy has a history of paying off nuisance issue, such a history, in fact, that he has an attorney on payroll just for that purpose, how the **** are you supposed to prove that this time it was just for the campaign?

    It doesn't matter. It's not a contribution or a payment with the sole purpose of serving the campaign. Even if it was a campaign contribution it came from Trump and he can contribute as much as he wants to his own campaign. Cohen, as part of his plea, said he made the payments as a campaign...

    OK. That's STILL not an in kind contribution to the campaign. MSNBC, for example, has a business model that no rational person can deny is HIGHLY biased toward favoring Democrats. Is there reporting an in kind contribution? If you personally went out a purchased a 10' foam middle finger that...

    My understanding of today's testimony (based on tweets because there is no transcript) is that Cohen was regularly in touch with Pecker regarding "rumors" since 2007. Part of Pecker's purpose in this engagement is that articles about Trump increased his sales. There was testimony that Cohen...

    That's what the prosecution is calling it. We've already had several FEC officials say that it's not. Just wait until the defense gets their chance and you're likely to hear a substantially different interpretation of the law.

    Who cares? It's still not a campaign contribution or a campaign expense. Stories about personal failings are PERSONAL issues first and foremost. Whether they impact a given campaign is tangential to that personal purpose and, therefore, NOT a campaign expense. If that WEREN'T the case then Joe...

    Being related to the campaign and being a campaign contribution or campaign expenditure are two different things. Campaigns interact with media all the time. They do interviews, interact with all kinds of reporters to evaluate stories that are coming out etc. If you read through the Podesta...

    Sure. The flip side to that is what Trump did wasn't a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure!

    Wow! I have got to make special note of the clear, concise and well thought out arguments you present in your rebuttals.

    Oh FFS. The Hillary campaign as well as the DNC were fined by the FEC for campaign finance violations related to the Steele Dossier. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-2022-midterm-elections-business-elections-presidential-elections-5468774d18e8c46f81b55e9260b13e93 Go ahead. Split the...

    They actually aren't EXACTLY the same. Clinton got popped for claiming payments for the Steele Dossier were "legal fees" instead of "opposition research". While that's similar to what Trump is being accused of the major difference is that Trump never claimed the payments to Cohen as a campaign...
