Is it not bad enough that immoral and hypocritical Republicans selected a flawed-character-candidate who mistreated women and cheated on his wife while operating a business based on the "cheating model" that is like a mobster?
Try to ignore it, and it comes home to roost.
Trump, the liar, first denied knowing about his affair with Stormy Daniels while is was married to his pregnant wife, now First Lady. Second, Trump lied about having his attorney pay her off. Third, he and his attorney said Cohen made the payoff as an in-kind contribution.
Now, Rudy Giuliani, Trump's latest lawyer, says Trump had an affair, directed the payment, and reimbursed his lawyer.
America that is the character that you elected to "do deals?"
"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said Wednesday that President Trump reimbursed his personal attorney Michael Cohen the $130,000 paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about their alleged affair.
Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s legal team, told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that the payment was “perfectly legal” and was “not campaign money,” meaning the arrangement didn’t violate campaign finance law.
“It's not campaign money. No campaign finance violation. They funneled through a law firm and the president repaid it,” Giuliani said.
"He didn’t know about the specifics of it as far as I know, but he did know about the general arrangement, that Michael would take care of things like this," he said."

Lying is a crime. President Trump is a criminal. Case closed.

Payments made by Michael Cohen were in-kind contributions to the Trump campaign and a violation of the Federal Election Commission laws and regulations. The President and his lawyers are trying to rewrite history, except the audit trail is clear. He's a liar and a criminal. Lock him up.
ReplyDelete"All the President’s Lawyers
ReplyDeleteRemember when President Trump tweeted he was happy with his lawyers seven weeks ago? Since then, he’s replaced two-thirds of them. Stepping down is Ty Cobb, who advocated for cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller’s prosecutors. Coming in will be Emmet Flood, who helped represent President Clinton at his 1999 Senate impeachment trial. The shake-up could be a sign that Trump would refuse to submit to an interview with Mueller’s team or fight a grand jury subpoena, a possible prelude to a constitutional battle. And then there’s Rudy Giuliani, another new Trump legal hire, who said Wednesday night that Trump repaid attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump has previously denied being aware of the payment and claimed he didn’t know where Cohen got the money. Giuliani’s statement raises more questions about possible campaign finance violations."
