Giuliani: Trump reimbursed Cohen for $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels

The President Of South Korea says President Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for his efforts there I will take his word over yours any day of the year.

Even Obama himself has stopped trying to take credit for todays economy.

Maybe Obama can give his to a more deserving president; Trump.

Can someone with a functioning brain explain to me why anyone is discussing Barack Obama in this thread anyway? I know he's a great distraction for the loyal Trump Fan Nation citizens, but he isn't relevant at all to the thread. Not even a little. This is all about Trump, Cohen, Rudy and the porn star. Nothing more - nothing less.

It appears that the only people with functioning brains are the ones not discussing President Obama. Sadly, your explanation is not forthcoming.

You claimed President Trump's lies are unprecedented. Do you a credible source to prove that?

it's fun pointing out that Obama's Stormy Daniels was a guy named Larry.

Not only did Giuliani admit that Trump payed $130,000 in hush money to prostitute Stormy Daniels via Michael Cohen, he also stated this during an interview with Sean Hannity last night.....



That certainly sounds like an admission of obstruction of justice to these ears.

Giuliani’s other big admission may be even worse for Trump

Why was Giuliani allowed back on Fox News this morning? I haven't checked into that yet. Did he say any other things that will land the president in prison?
 
Bahahaha ... I thought with Giuliani's experience that Trump might actually finally have found a competent person for his legal team.



And now .... bahahaha ...



This is priceless. And so well-deserved.
 
Re: Giuliani: Trump repaid Cohen $130K for payment to porn star

One other point. In the Hannity interview yesterday, Rudy Giuliani called the FBI "stormtroopers".

This is not just anyone. This is the presidents lawyer. Disgusting.

It's difficult to believe how far Giuliani has fallen since the halcyon days.

Perhaps three divorces will do that to a person.

In short, I think you have it completely right. Giuliani's story implicated so many crimes that I think it's going to change again. In my opinion, they told us about the president's payments because now he hasn't technically hidden what he did and really only Cohen and maybe the campaign treasurer broke the law in any significant way. It's a clever cover for the president, but his lack of credibility is going to cost him eventually.

That's quite a sound analysis and one that is eminently presentable to a court.

It also raises the "interesting" spectre of a constitutional crisis wherein a President pardons someone for illegal campaign activity that resulted in that President being elected. (If a different President issued the pardon there would be no constitutional crisis since the issuing President wouldn't have been associated with the original offence [which means that Mr. Pence might not be able to do so without triggering the same constitutional crisis since it was the election of the President that he replaced which resulted in the removal of that President and him assuming the office of President].)

It looks like someone has just added another ring to the circus.
 
PEW PEW, PEW PEW the left keeps on firing and keeps on missing. It's comical really.

Jesus Christ was a Jew and NOT a Christian.

Trump is still going to get off.

He'll get away with it because he's so ignorant. He'll get away with violation after violation because he can make a credible case that he didn't have the desire or capacity to learn what the rules were. His life is a demonstration of how careless he is.

And ignorance will give him a claim to lack of intent to violate the law, and that will be enough to get him off the hook as far as things such as obstruction of justice goes.

He might get a small fine for campaign finance violation.

So you think beating up on their POTUS 24-7 is going to change all that? Do you think his base is going to ignore his glowing domestic and foreign policies 'cause he had an affair 12 years ago?

Good luck with that.

The Repubs already are already seeing the signs. Low Presidential approval rating, barely squeaking out wins and even a couple losses in districts that Trump and the GOP had carried by 20+ points in 2016 in republican strongholds all across the nation and negative poll numbers for the upcoming midterms. One of the first rules in politics is that the first loyalty any politician has is almost always to his or her own political survival. Paul Ryan recently recently said this at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference. "Should Republicans lose control of either the House or Senate, you’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas, "with the whole legislative system “shutting down." Well we already have gridlock and chaos. But in effect he just warned his fellow Republicans in the House with his "there will be subpoenas" that they will not be able continue to cover up for the President should the Democrats win the House in the midterms.

It wouldn't be money laundering because the funds weren't illegally obtained. However, it's fairly clear that there was an FEC violation. If you lend a campaign money, that's a loan. Giuliani is trying to argue about intent here. Trump's legal argument is going to be that the $130k was for personal, not campaign, reasons. But that's a flimsy argument at best. In any case, Trump also denies knowing about the payment to Daniels, so if the FEC violation is prosecuted it'd likely only be against Cohen.

I don't think I agree with that. Cohen getting the equity loan on his home was not money laundering. The president earned his money however he earned it, presumably legally. Once the monies were funnelled through the law firm and not disclosed to the FEC, though, they were illegally obtained. I would go for money laundering.

Mr. Kim would have annoyed Mr. Xi to exactly the same extent regardless of who the President of the United States of America was, so this would be happening regardless of who the President of the United States of America is.

Since Ms. Clinton is (at least) slightly better at international relations than Mr. Trump is, it might even be happening faster - but that is as relevant to reality as whether it would be happening faster if you were the President of the United States of America.
