When you are a businessman you realize it is less expensive to pay off the scumbags, rather than pay lawyers fees to go to court, PR people for the bad press that is opened up by the trial. When all you have to worry about is some hanger-on-idiots you just pay the extortion.
david5537 GoFundTheWall
This isn’t illegal lol wtf hahahahaha
gtconway3d So what? Release the congress payoff list
gtconway3d 'Crime'... you are a joke! Trump asked his lawyer to solve the problem, if the lawyer did illegally it is the lawyer's faults. Trump is not supposed to understand the laws, that is why he paid a lawyer. Stop twist information to settle in your dirty agenda
Yep, it was Stormy.
gtconway3d No one is authorized to spend money on my behalf. Who would allow that?
gtconway3d Cohen is a known liar...ask Mueller.
I know facts are so pesky but here is the Legal Charge to Mueller a Republican signed by Rod Rosenstein a Repuplican
PROOF !! We are not in Saudi Arabia. Go George, go Americans, democracy dies in darkness as WaPo reminds us. Cartel45 -- Resign Please. Lawyers have already made enough off all this.
gtconway3d georgie stop being a d bag! really !
That’s not interfering in an election 🤦♂️
The same crime Obama committed and paid a fine!!!
Russian Collusion.
Lilith_Bitch777
I trust a man that who gets it
Complete BS. Proves everything Republicans were saying is right... This was a WitchHunt to find anything that they could use to carry out their coup against the president. This is an outrage. Where is the collusion?! walkaway
Lmao such fake news AP has sunk below pathetic
Never believe the media or polls
OMG I'm so shocked. NOT👹
junglefruits He's. A. Billionaire. All billionaires can be directly tied to federal crimes. State crimes. County crimes. City crimes. War crimes. Crimes Against Humanity. Jesus, people.
gtconway3d So we've gone from 'Putin's running the Presidency' to this? It cannot be illegal to pay someone to keep quiet about sex, or half of Washington is going to jail next week.
And here is where we see the major shift, among Trump's supporters, from denying his crimes to justifying them.
juanjaimes76 Obama paid the largest fine for campaign finance violations. Not a peep from anyone. You are all hypocrites
juanjaimes76 Who cares
The duplicity and distortions of facts by the AP can be counted as grains of sand on a beach.
yes, but this is not wnough to bring him down NOW. we need to prove emoluments/sanctions quid pro quo, foreign election money, money laundering, etc...
And as a lawyer he should know better.
Just shut up. Enough with these BS accusations with nothing to back them up.
gtconway3d Hey George do you want our president toppled because your wife's not home when you're home? Is that why?
😬
This seems bad
Payments were not illegal. Why report facts that you know are wrong?
gtconway3d Lock him up
gtconway3d Snitches get stitches!
gtconway3d Should’ve said the fake news says because it’s just not the truth he did nothing illegal there’s no collusion we know all about the ladies and he paid money big big deal why don’t you go get a real crime like Hillary and the fake dossier and everybody covering for her it’s over.
The payments were not illegal We know those types of things go on all the time and are legal
So what? Heaven forbid! That scoundrel!
gtconway3d Jim_Jordan boblatta ...just an FYI..
How is it illegal for a private citizen to use private funds for NDAs? It’s not.
Who cares
gtconway3d No it threatened his marriage
BS !
That is usually settled with a fine.
Is that collusion?
Hey what’s going on in France?
COLLUSION WITH THE RUSSIANS!!!
So what? His money.
You forgot to include the part where they were written checks for documentation.. again with the fakenews
So where's the Russia collusion?
Bwahaaha, whatever gasbags
gtconway3d Right. Still not Russian collusion.
Yeah but what about Russian collusion Clowns.
Trump: There it is. Not guilty.
What was illegal about this? Did he use campaign money, were the women coerced or did they agree? I’m not inspired by these deals, but was he already President? So how can we learn from Bill Clinton’s ongoing escapades? Was it akin to Paula Jones’ $750,000 pay-off by Clinton’s.
Men paying woman to shut there mouth for sex should not be a felony.
gtconway3d Ask yourself WHY is TRUMP still in the White house? When Obama was there EVERYTHING was a problem. Would he had been allowed to stay after doing even 1 thing out of Trumps 1000 things? It is what you know it is...Live outside of justifying BS its old already
3013578 So let's get him out of office and put him in jail
So most male congressmen and senators and other politicians will also be charged?
But there was no silence.
gtconway3d W.H. Bush a great man, D.J. Trump paid off woman after sex affairs and preached hate. Which President does America want for our children and grandchildren? History will certainly look at this as a dark time in American history.
gtconway3d Pretty sure that’s CRIMINAL activity right there
Who cares
VictoriaAveyard What does that have to do with Russia collusion? Stay on purpose. The American people are paying for results not soap box drama.
What about the Russians?
Big F N deal. Who cares? I love MyPresident realDonaldTrump No collusion, just a corrupt DOJ was exposed.
Trump will deny it... we all know that... and he will lie too ... we all know that... I guess Trump’s base is the same way...
He will use the same defense as John Edwards did. All he has to do is say he paid them off to protect his family. Also you’ve got Cohen as the only witness, who has repeatedly lied to Congress and investigators by their own filings. Great witness 🙄. Another nothing burger.
Back to that are we now? The Russian thing isn't working so well?
Should have handled it the Clinton way....have liabilities murdered.
JamieOsta
Fake News
gtconway3d Say what now🥺🥺🥺
They are not illegal payments or campaign funds they were personal funds and half of Hollywood would be guilty too
Illegal like having to pay a fine Let's get some perspective.
Snooze... there must be more than Stormy extorting Trump!
gtconway3d Legal experts did Trump violated the law trying to influence the election? Former Senator John Edwards sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 was indicted in 2011 in connection with payments made on his behalf to keep his mistress quiet, A jury acquitted Edwards!
That is not illegal though
TinaMorphis Is it safe yet for us to start chanting 'lock him up'? Dam that felt good
Abigail
This is the best day of the Trump Saga(ssss) so far.
These two women have CONSENSUAL relation with Trump. They AGREED for the relationship, and they AGREED with the “compensation”. Very different with millions of dollars spent by the Senate to settle sexual HARASSMENT cases.
gtconway3d Only FoxNews and individual1 need some time to understand what that means ...
gtconway3d Trump’s own Justice Department is confirming that he was engaged in illegal activity during the 2016 campaign. FactsMatter
Fake News
It was a crime committed unnecessarily. Trump probably would still be elected even if those women were not silenced
Let's start by DEMANDING our State courts clear the benches and get rid of the bias, unethical black robe judges, that ruin SO many families! HOLD THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ACCOUNTABLE! LOGANTOO KIDSTOO ❤LOVE trumps HATE❤
so
Is that a crime? If so, better go locate all the ones others committed & let’s get them ALL
And how much tax payer money paid off sexual harassment suits in Congress and Senate
dont compare to Billy cheating on his wife in the OVAL OFFICE.
The payments aren’t illegal.
Yawn
Thank you to Robert Mueller and the Southern District of New York for showing us that justice rings loud and clear. It's time to remove the corruption from out government and protect our future generations.
Uhm, no. The Justice Department says Cohen is a habitual liar that did many things under the table and illegally, behind the backs of others, to enrich himself and add to his own self importance.
The trumpets last post
They have been alleging a lot if things. That is like saying may have or possibly. With those words you can claim whatever you want and get away with it.
And that is called prostitution....individual-1
What the defense has to say now ? We need answers Trump MAGA
We already knew this.... What about Russia!!!
Can you imagine if they put the microscope on the Clinton's? How many flights did Slick Willy take to Pedophile Island?
Perfectly legal.
Aaaand
I don't feel sorry for Melania anymore. Anyone who can remain married to this baffoon is beyond me. But then she knew his reputation before she married him.
EnemyOfThePeople
SO , SO ? Didn't a sitting President pay hush money ? Bill Clinton. Got Nothing.
.TheJusticeDept should not ignore that our POTUS is governing solely to earn payoffs from Russia in the hundreds of million$. Will they allow Trump to compromise US intelligence/homeland security for 2 more yrs? IndictTrump 25thAmendmentNow Unfit
HillaryClinton 2016 campaign failed to report funding for the Steele dossier. BarackObama 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by FEC for violating federal election law by failing to disclose $millions in donations and delayed in refunding $millions more in excess contributions.
More of the pot calling the kettle black. That is not “news”. Tell us what our country is doing for each other. Stop being news stupid.
Is guilty
If his attorney advised that it was illegal you got him. If his attorney didn’t advise he’s safe.
“Illegal”? Nope they didnt say that.
So what, Hillary trafficked children, Hillary and Obama sold our uranium the sc Mueller hand delivered it Clinton's foundation was a pay to play that's just for starters and you people on the news want to talk about 2 women. Can you see why your pathetic losers?
Were the women Russian 🤦♂️. So with no evidence of what Trump campaign was being investigated for the country gets to laugh at whatever mueller the drooler can toss out to save embarrassment and try to justify the millions being spent as the country falls further into debt 🙄🙄🙄
Have any evidence?
Be best?
You guys are pathetic.
Time Person Of The Year, two actually, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal! Great job Ladies 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Next they are going to say Stormy was a Russian.😂
Imagine knowingly breaking the law to protect a candidate's reputation only to realize his voters DGAF who slept with who and now you're going to jail.
FakeNews
Resign now
He'd still have won even with that. Hillary was just so unpopular.
The question is what value you place in the testimony of a pruven and admitted pergerer .
Payoff the swamp
And no impeachment will come from any of his crimes, just because ' it hasn't been done before' PFF WHY IN HELL HAVE EMOLUMENTS ' clauses' or even HAVE 'IMPEACHMENT' even IN the constitution!!? Why have morals? Or ETHICS OR EVEN LAWS..?
Wait, he pays you even if you only make claims? Oh well in that case then yeah he totally fucked me too. I accept PayPal.
Old news....
What precisely has gone wrong with you? Every single word is twisted for the benefit of IndividualNumber1 He broke numerous crimes that were well laid out today. TreasonHasConsequences
This is fake news.
yashar Um... we already knew this.
Hacks in liberal controlled nyc said that. This case will be LAUGHED OUT in the court or trump will have to pay parking fine. Sorry libshits still not a high crime
💧 💧 💧 drips FLOOD ON THE WAY 😂😂
You meant, the president of the United States committed 2 felonies, that affected the election. If true his presidency could be illegitimate. You're welcome
So did Clinton, what’s your point
From “Russia HACKED the election” to this. 🙄
So. Much. Collusion.
Let's investigate every member of Congress for hush money. What's fair is fair.
and what about the 15 other accusers were they also paid off for their silence and have yet to come forward
That’s not against the law.
“You could get $1 million. You could get it in cash. I know where it could be gotten. It is not easy, but it could be done.” — R. Nixon, 1973 — D. Trump, 2016
Not true. Not what it says. FakeNews Hillary, Democrats & Liberal Media are Sore Losers. Are you having bacon and cheddar on your Nothing Burger tonight?
Call Dershowitz! It ain't illegal!
He's already said he paid the women to protect his family from embarrassment. That's not a crime.
... what law was exactly breached?
Queue another retraction for 2018.
'Own goal'; the 2 women were no threat. Trump's a known sleaze even b4 'bus tape' out. Essentially no one cared; Trump a fool to suppress the women - DoJ: Trump directed illegal payments to buy silence of 2 women whose sex claims threatened his campaign
When your headline conflicts with what’s in the article...”The filing stopped short of accusing the president of committing a crime.”
yashar Either there all (R and D) accountable or none of them are accountable 🤷🏼♂️
Grounds for immediate impeachment.
Is he mentioned in the article? President trump?
yashar Meh
Hush money isn’t illegal.
(Legal)
Not what it said at all, says Cohen lied about the payments and billed for reimbursement falsely.
So? Trump can use AS MUCH OF HIS OWN MONEY as he wants in his campaign. So this is a NothingBurger FAKEnews story. MANY politicians pay people to stay silent during a campaign, it is hardly a new practice and it is NOT illegal you LIARS
As we learned when a similar issue was raised involving Stormy Daniels, this is neither a crime nor a campaign finance violation.
...lol and Congress has a slush fund of taxpayer money for this very purpose.
Nothing compares to all the crime Hillary has done and got away with! Thank God she’s not President!
To be clear this is the President's Justice Dept saying the President of the United States committed a crime while a price to directly influence a his election.
That’s a fine fuck!
This is news?
Evangelical poster child.
Let’s cancel the rest of the season, shall we?
Woooow, cracker jack investigative journalism right there, next your going to tell us he lied about a real estate deal, traffic tickets, not even close to enough to justify this hit job. As a republican i would say with certainty this will all be repaid in spades
jesus, three years of non-stop investigating and you have contrived campaign finance violations? Were Hillary's haircuts campaign expenditures? Looks impact her ability to campaign. This is all nonsense.
Deep state 💩
Was it blackmail or illegal payments
Why are Trump's payments deemed illegal when it has been revealed that Congress has a fund to pay off people who accuse congressmen of wrong doing and said fund has been used by Democrats and Republicans to buy silence?
So, you can cheat and break the law to win, and once you’ve won you can’t be indicted? Anyone else see a potential problem here?
What does have to do with the scope of the investigation relating to collusion with Russia?
What’s illegal, if true? Paying someone blackmail money is not actually a crime.
yashar But Russia Russia Russia?
Prove it!!!
People that think this has any weight to it watch too many movies.
We already knew that but SpeakerRyan said it was fine
realDonaldTrump tick tock tick tock tick tick... must be a really weird feeling that noose tighten eh Donny? Enjoy prison. ImpeachTrump LiarInChief PutinsPuppet FakePresident MuellerIsComing
Turn like a worm.
More likely threatened his marriage, but hack lawyers gonna hack.
Clinton level illegal?!?
As it turns our he needent have worries. He could have fcked them on top of trump tower. Wearing only a purple Cape, frilly underwear, and a maga hat. His base would only love him more.
Haven’t our legislators been doing this with tax dollars, for years?
If true why was Cohen (if he acted as Trump's lawyer) charged and indicted for campaign finance law violations? Trump can donate any amount of money to his campaign, Cohen has a limit of $2700.
yashar Lol 😂 Good luck with that claim. Let’s take a walk down memory lane.
You misspelled 'accuses'... presumably so you can avoid that whole uncomfortable 'alleged' thing...
Rubbish
He didn't need to bother. His voter base doesn't care. They act like they care about Christian values but nah, they're fine with Trumps sins.
This is the best theyve got? Wheres the russian boogie man?
I’ll listen to and trust Alan Dershowitz famed Harvard Law Professor, over the fake news media, there’s nothing there against Trump..he calls all of this bs weak..
R U S S I A
Clinton had the oral office, Kennedy 100's of ladies, Obama had his men. This is not news.
He'll be gone by Christmas & Warren will be installed. We'll have our first 6/10,000 Native American POTUS.
Oh Donald! Karma is a bitch... isn't it?
Ruh Roh
Wishful thinking 😂 DeepStateMustBeDesperate Ain't gonna work this time! POTUS ThesePeopleAreStupid
crying about losing an election day ?
Impotus is one congenitally crooked ESSO 🐝.
Lies
So no longer about collusion, huh?
Pfffft...total BS.
No it doesn’t.
Why? Everyone has always known he's a scumbag. How would that have threatened his campaign?
Now..... That's not hard, is it.... FACTS ONLY. PEOPLE.
SuckItUp
Witch hunt
We have a 10m slush fund for senators to do this every year. How is it illegal?
