Quoted:

AMI, David Pecker, would make shit up because the SDNY prosecutors were threatening to investigate other "issues".

Cohen committed a felony on his own, he plead guilty to a non-crime. Trump hasn't plead guilty and cannot possibly be a co conspirator for trusting a lawyer to follow the law.

Democrats will make political hay out of Trump's tie color. Mueller better stick to Russian collusion(his mandate) or his report will be thrown in the trash by Whittaker.

Sorry your girl lost.

Yeah, Cohen just decided to do it on his own, and Trump reimbursed him why?  Is it really hard to believe Trump didn't want these women giving interviews literally weeks before the election, with the whole Billy Bush thing out there?  After all, Cohen has Trump on tape discussing exactly this kind of stuff.

Quoted:

Again, there is zero legal question that it was a crime. There's no question why the payments were made; the person who wrote the NDAs and made at least two of the payments has said why it was done and that Trump knew why it was done. AMI has said exactly the same thing. Why on gods green earth would David Pecker and Micheal Cohen both cop to a crime that you think wasn't even a crime? Why wouldn't they just say 'nah, it wasn't about the election'.

What about this is so complex? Cohen plead guilty to it. He was just sentenced for it. He's going to jail. Do you really think that after all the evidence showing that Cohen was a total sleazeball that recorded everything going on around him that he's got nothing to back his story up? That it's just Trump vs Cohens word?

That really seems unlikely.

If Trump is smart he'll just keep his mouth and twitter shut about it. He can't be legally hurt by it, but it can continue to be a giant embarrassment if he lets it.

If the liberals had anything, they would have filed an impeachment motion already and its would be all over the media 24/7/365.....Not to mention mueller would have ended his investigation screaming at the world..."I found it, I found it..I got him...I got him" and not one of those things have happened....

Quote History
Quoted:

Yes, we do know what the NDAs were for because Cohen, the guy who wrote them, has told us exactly what they were for.

Cohen has said that they were to buy the silence of the women so they didn't influence the election negatively for Trump, and that Trump asked for them to happen. AMI also made a payment to another women and is also saying it was at the request and direction of Trump for the purpose of influencing the election. Why the fuck would David Pecker just make that up?

These payments end up qualifying as campaign contributions because they materially help the candidate. At that point it doesn't really matter how Cohen or AMI were compensated because they long since missed the train on declaring the fuckup and just paying a fine.

Again; it really doesn't matter, at all who paid cohen back or how. What matters is why he made the payments and who told him to do it. Right now the why is, according to everyone involved but Trump, 'influence the election' and the who is 'Person 1'. That means that Trump directed Cohen to commit a felony, and that makes Trump a co-conspirator. Sticking your fingers in your ears and saying 'but cohen is a liar' doesn't mean anything. This isn't going to be a he said/he said thing. The motherfucker was taping conversations and kept records.

Now, Trump isn't going to jail for this but you better believe it's going to be real political hay for democrats. And Muellers report is going to come out, eventually, and add to the list of dumb fucking mistakes Trump made because he surrounds him self with the dumbest motherfuckers on earth.

The monthly "retainer" didn't start until well after the payment had been paid. It isn't a retainer if you don't pay it until long after someone has already spent money on your behalf. Then it is a reimbursement. According to Trump's and Cohen's own records, Cohen was not under a retainer agreement when he paid the funds to get the NDA. In fact, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, Cohen was counsel to Trump's companies before and during part of the campaign, so he was always paid via Trump org directly. There wouldn't have been a retainer agreement anyway because of that.

Quote History
Quoted:

I think people are missing a key point. It wasn't illegal to pay whores off to influence the election. You can absolutely do that as much as you want as Trump had clearly done in the past.

What you can't do, however, is pay people off to influence an election and not RRPORT the payments on your campaign finance report. If they had reported the payments as payments to "Essential Consultants, LLC" or whatever proxy company Cohen had registered as "legal services" or "legal settlement fees" or something like that there wouldn't be any issue.

In short, the issue isn't paying someone to influence an election. That's literally politics at its core. The issue is raising or spending money that you don't report. It would be no different than if Trump had taken a 120k campaign donation and didn't disclose it on his campaign finance reports. One, it would be in excess of the contribution caps mandated by law, and two it would be illegally concealing that you received the funds.

Part of Cohen's issue is that he FRONTED the money and in doing so broke the contributions cap. Being reimbursed after the fact doesn't change that because the spending was never legally reported before being discovered.

Whether people have a problem with Trump paying off whores or not isn't at issue. Personally, I don't give a shit. But you cannot spend money to influence an election and not report it. That's goes for any campaign, PAC, or non-profit out there. Trump isn't being singled out - - people are prosecuted for concealing donations or not reporting spending all the time.

Generally, these cases never make it to the criminal level because if a violation is uncovered the violating party typically files an updated campaign finance report and pays a negotiated fine. Trump refused to do that, and instead worked with Cohen to keep the payments hidden. That's why it becomes criminal and isn't like other cases where the campaign or candidate can simply amend their report, say mea culpa, and pay a fine.

If you go to extraordinary lengths to conceal the payments, refuse to admit the payments happened until a search warrant uncovers evidence of the payment during a search of your attorney's office, and a tape made by your attorney is discovered, in which you and your attorney conspire to conceal the payment and source of the funds, then the door is closed on a voluntary settlement. Especially since Trump continues to deny that it was a campaign related expenditure even though he's on tape implying otherwise. Finally, Trump eventually did disclose the payment in an official filing, but it was on his mandatory ethics form for being President (where you list assets and liabilities), was done after the Cohen raid, and totally prevents a voluntary settlement because he's still trying to claim it wasn't a campaign expenditure.

Trump, more or less, did a version of OJ's "If I did it..." by claiming he didn't do it, but if he did, it was simply a private matter not related to the campaign, but if it was actually a campaign expenditure it was OK because he's allowed to contribute as much money to his own campaign he wants. The obvious flaw being that Cohen paid the money and not Trump, and so Trump's public statements and ethics form are actually self-incriminating instead of being exculpatory.

She was not just any woman, the media could put them in the same room together for a photo. Personally I do not think he fucked her. I think he chose to pay 130K in extortion to keep her accusations quiet rather than spend  5 or 6 million to make her retract the claims in court. I don't Think Kavanaugh raped anyone or that Trump paid whores to piss on a bed either.

Cohens job was to follow the laws and get the NDA without Trump's knowledge. That is what he was paid for. As I understand it the SCO can still reduce Cohens sentence. This is a show.

How to Avoid Going to Jail under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 for Lying to Government Agents

"It is crucial to note that affirmatively declining to discuss the investigation in the absence of counsel is not the same thing as remaining completely silent . If you are not in custody, your total silence, especially in the face of an accusation, can very possibly be used against you as an adoptive admission under the Federal Rules of Evidence."
How in the hell is that not directly in conflict with the 5th amendment?
Section 1001 is the biggest pile of stinking shit, with the interpretations of the Commerce Clause coming in a close second. And it'll never get repealed or changed because it is the government's biggest and easiest hook to coerce and convict people of anything and everything.

Most likely answer: The government had more evidence to charge him with additional crimes, and didn't as a result of his cooperation.

The 3 years is the deal - instead of something more like what Manafort is getting.

Quote History
Quoted:
If Cohen cut a deal, and turned over information that can be used against Trump...

...why is he going to prison for 3 years?
He didn't actually have a plea deal. He just plead guilty, cooperated and hoped for the best.

From his sentencing recommendation:

“Cohen, an attorney and businessman, committed four distinct federal crimes over a period of several years. He was motivated to do so by personal greed, and repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends. Now he seeks extraordinary leniency — a sentence of no jail time — based principally on his rose-colored view of the seriousness of the crimes. ... The crimes committed by Cohen were more serious than his submission allows and were marked by a pattern of deception that permeated his professional life (and was evidently hidden from the friends and family members who wrote on his behalf).”
“Cohen’s commission of two campaign finance crimes on the eve of the 2016 election for President of the United States struck a blow to one of the core goals of the federal campaign finance laws: transparency. While many Americans who desired a particular outcome to the election knocked on doors, toiled at phone banks, or found any number of other legal ways to make their voices heard, Cohen sought to influence the election from the shadows.”
So he cooperated, but he's still a criminal. And, by receiving an actual jail sentence Trump is now named as a co-conspirator of a crime that sent someone to jail. Had Cohen not received jail time many would say that it was a non-crime that didn't warrant any jail time, so what's the big deal?

The president directed cohen to lie?  That's proven how?
It's a NeverTrumper account, here only for that.  Have fun using logic with it.
The prosecution asserted that Trump ordered the payments, and the judge agreed - so not sure what you are on about. Go read it.
