Anyone here thinking that Trumpass monthly 35K

[boston bean]

payments to Cohen were for something else entirely more dangerous to his presidency than payments to stormy daniels?

ie, he is using the Strormy case to hide what those 35K monthly payments were actually for?? The admission is not to try to get out of campaign finance legal troubles, but to hide more nefarious acts?

1. And what else is in this swamp that RUMP dragged all of us into?

This guy seems to think that he's invincible and untouchable. Sure...

Let him believe this nonsense...RUMP and only RUMP has destroyed his presidency all by himself and has no one else to blame for his own mess...

What a joke...sad and pathetic

2. I've speculated he was bankrolling Daniels porn productions

Stormy Daniels hasn't had writing or directing credit since 2016

Why did she stop making films?

She was making a few a year up until then.(as writer and director)

So - I've speculated DJT was bankrolling her porn productions.

3. Since the amount paid by Trump exceeded the Stormy payment by $300,000+,

I assumed other women had been paid off.

4. how was that reported to the irs....income??????

if on retainer do you get a 1099??????

so instead of paying you your retainer fees, we will pay you the loan?

actually sounds like something crooked trump would do....

but it would break a basic law of crooked business....you can swindle anyone but your lawyer

5. could be worse, but probably just more of the same.

6. I think you may be on to something...

I'd wager there's more than one person or entity that "slush fund" was paying off and Trump knows that those details were probably found out in the raid on Cohen's office. It would certainly make sense that these dipshits would try to get out in front of that information by muddying the waters as they've been doing over the past 72hrs.

7. Remember - didn't McDougal say Trump would "reimburse" her for travel?

How did he reimburse her? Who did the reimbursing?

8. Wow...I had forgotten that! Yep, great point!

9. Yes, it seemed a little too convenient, and ill fitting.
