It has to be proved I guess that actual election campaign monies were used.
In terms of Russia , why hasn't that be found and exposed yet ,is it actually there ?.
'Cohen pleaded guilty to two counts of making contributions in excess of $25,000 for the purpose of influencing a federal election.
Trump's former lawyer told a federal court on Tuesday that he made two payments, one for $150,000 in the summer of 2016 and another in Oct. 2016 of $130,000, both at the direction of Trump. The payments were to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, both of whom have claimed to have had affairs with Trump. The president has denied those allegations.
Cohen also filed invoices to the Trump Organization to be reimbursed for those payments, masking them as services rendered for 2017 even though he did not provide legal services to the president that year.
The crimes carry a maximum sentence of 65 years, but sentencing guidelines recommend 46-63 months of prison time'
I've highlighted the key points for you. The crime would have apparently been to a lesser degree if they had actually used campaign funds. Trump has now categorically said, on camera, that campaign funds were not used, possibly incriminating himself even further.

So Trump is going to jail for 65 years? Hillary had better dust off her cowboy boots then :biggrin:
BTW why did Dershowitz say it is perfectly normal to payoff people to avoid damaging publicity, in this case to his wife and family?
Anyway, the proof of the pudding will be found in a Trump prosecution, if and when it occurs.

Trust you to find the part of the post where you can exaggerate for effect. Nobody is suggesting that, are they?
Once again, why are you asking me why somebody said something? I'd hazard a guess that the author of a book titled 'The Case Against Impeaching Trump!' may have a horse in the race though... Who knows?
It's all very exciting though :biggrin:

These cases were never about Russia.

I haven’t accused Trump of collusion. That’s down to the investigation that’s being carried out which is still ongoing. What this investigation is showing is that a number of people have committed criminal acts which they deserve to be punished for.
What I find quite shameful is that a President of the USA is criticising his own judicial system and expressing sympathy for a convicted criminal.
Not right surely?

These cases were never about Russia? Oh yeah? :sherlock:

The way I see it, all the players on each side have to protect each other. If one domino falls, they all fall. Regarding the Russians, there are plenty involved, they just haven't disclosed who is doing what yet.

They tend to stop the undesirables before they get into office. They tried it with Trump, but some how they managed to fail miserably. That's what this mess is all about, he's now got the keys to the castle and all of the secrets. They need him out a.s.a.p. as he is very dangerous to a lot of people while he sits there in the Oval Office, so expect to see a lot more twisting and turning before we reach any possible outcomes.
