[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And libs forget that Obama’s campaign finance violation was very real and he simply paid a fine[/quote]
Screw you - you keep trying to sell this story of Obama campaign finance violations as equivalent to Trump's secret payoff of sex workers, but that's totally not true.

Obama's violations were that his campaign received contributions within 20 days of the election, and failed to report them to the FEC within 48 hours of receiving them.  The Obama campaign reported them, but just not within 48 hours, so they paid a fine.  By contrast, the Trump campaign knowingly and intentionally hid secret payoffs to sex workers.  Big difference.  "Obama’s civil FEC infractions, while they resulted in a large fine, are legally distinct from what Cohen pled guilty to, which is the intentional commission of felonies intended to affect the outcome of a federal election."

Trump used his own cash. Tell me how incensed you are about the taxpayer slush fund Congress uses to pay off women [/quote]
This isn't about whether Trump used his own cash, just in case you didn't understand the law.[/quote]

DP. It wasn't even a campaign contribution. Trump's lawyer was paying off an extortion to protect his marriage and business brand. It's a business expense.[/quote]

Nice try but no.  In Cohen's admission of guilt, he specifically stated that the payments were made to benefit Trump's presidential bid.  [/quote]

Sorry, Cohen had already gone on television and told the American public that he did it on his own to protect Trump's marriage. It had nothing to do with the campaign. Now he is lying to get a reduced sentence on tax related crimes. How do you prove in a court of law that the purpose of the payment was not for protecting the marriage and business brand? By Cohen's ever changing words?[/quote]
Prosecutors are not allowed to let a someone plead to a crime they didn't commit.  Which means they have corroborating evidence.  And when your main target is the President, you play it totally by the book and have a mountain of evidence behind you.  They only get one shot at Trump and they better not miss.[/quote]
