Why can't you pay hush money to porn stars, waitresses, male flower sellers on the street, or anyone else?
'Consenting adults'...unless there's extortion involved?

...if you use your own money.

Did Trump use his own money?

Trump likely could have gotten away with paying the hush money by reporting it.  Which defeats the purpose of hush money.  He probably shouldn't have cheated on his wife.

The only candidate ever charged with campaign finance violations over hush money was John Edwards and the trial ended in acquittal and was roundly criticized by the media as a waste of time. The furor over Trump has no legal basis but is purely political.

Of course both the Enquirer and Cohen have admitted the two things the government could not prove.against Edwards: that the hush money was paid for political purposes and that Trump was.aware of and directed the activity specifically for political purposes. But don't let the idea that individual cases stand or fall on their own facts trouble you.

The legal basis of the Edwards charges: that Hush money paid for campaign purposes is subject to campaign finance regulations - was not the reason the government must. Case went to trial, and to a jury, which deadlocked on all but one claim. It was the facts that resulted in Edwards's acquittal,  or the idea that hush money paid in connection to a campaign was not a campaign contribution.

LOL

Case went to a jury, genius. Do you understand what.that means?

An acquittal on the facts does not mean campaign linked hush payments are not illegal.any more than being acquitted of bank robbery means bank robbery is not illegal

LOL.
Don’t ever give up that Justice of The Peace Shingle ..you may go btoke.

No response on the merits, as usual. Red version of an admission.

The only “ merits” is the absence of any RUSSIA! Collusion evidence.
Trump is a womanizer. Have at it. But there is no campaign finance law violation for paying hush money to porn stars.

Sure there is. He made the payoffs to make sure disclosure of him being the slimy bastard he is did not come out in the end stages of the campaign. The booty calls took place over a decade before so why the urgency to pay hush money... in the end stages of the campaign?

Not even a close call.

Federal Judge Rules Affordable Care Act Is Unconstitutional Without Insurance-Coverage Penalty


Maybe Nancy Pelosi who shoved this piece of garbage down our throats now has a priority for the next Congress.

TDS says she punts.

They don’t care and they’ve stacked the federal judiciary and SCOTUS for decades to the benefit of their donor class.

Your anger/disgust is misplaced in this case

You are aggravating/disgusting in this as in most cases. Nothing is misplaced besides your moral compass.

When we pass Medicare for All in 2021, they should name it after this Texas judge.

Red’s legal acumen makes it seem like he’s stealing pills from Individual 1.

Wanna try that one again?

[facilitatorn]

Wanna try that one again?

Your junta is unraveling. Go to Hungary or Russia to find the paradise you seek. You are increasingly unwelcome in the USA.

You get less and less American in a sad attempt to stay relevant and more and more irrelevant as you become less American, then you double down again.

It’s funny to watch you twist though as you try to hold a righteous line. You have the shrillness of a Spicer with the pole axed vapidity of a HuckaSanders and the first flakes of larceny have only started to fall. Save some fuel for when your echo chamber gets truly truly cold in the next few months.

Happy Holidays, dipshit.

I hope you are enjoying the DOJ advent calendar of crimes attending Individual 1.

They care very much about governing and retaining and abusing power.

Same as always.

This is just an extreme example of voter supression.

And its very dangerous.

Slightly curious - anyone know what Mika B actually said that was reportedly homophobic?   I can't find a news story that will say.   They just refer to it as "a cruder term. " 

Side question - does anyone use the term homophobic to mean what it actually means these days?   Is Mika fearful of gay people?   Is she opposed to gay sexuality?

Rather than address what the truth is, you'd rather talk about what the truth isn't. That's a rather desperate tactic. And usually The refuge for the most partisan of political animals.

Familiarize yourself with the moniker "Individual 1". You'll be hearing that a lot, coupled with the phrase "directed me to"...

She called Pompeo "a wannebe dictator's butt-boy"

I doubt she's homophobic, nor are most people here, who routinely (or used to) label someone with a different opinion a "partisan cocksucker".

Except for Red, he's both homophobic and a partisan cocksucker.
