And a porn star payoff isn't?
How many times and how many ways will it take for you and fellow Trumptards to understand that he was charged and convicted of
business fraud for falsifying business records.
The crime was not fucking a porn star and paying her off.
The crime was not prosecuted as an campaign funding violation.
The crime was falsely categorizing and recording the payment made to Stormy Daniels for her keeping her mouth shut, as LAWYERS FEES that were paid to his lawyer Michael Cohen for legal services NOT rendered.
It is money laundering. Trump washed his payment to Daniels through Cohen.
Business' may not falsify their business records. Deliberately doing so is a fraud and a felony in the State of New York. And probably illegal in every other jurisdiction in the US and Canada... and elsewhere. His other business' and charities were also sued civilly for fraud. This time, his fingerprints were all over it.
He is a known fraud artist and his frothing cult followers don't even deny that. They just think that the law shouldn't be enforced against their Cult Leader.
The only reason (beside being a media hit) that the porn part comes into it was because hiding that was the personal motive behind accounting for it as such, instead of "legal fees". Trump even paid double the amount to cover Cohen's personal income tax he'd have to declare for his services rendered.
Had Trump just recorded it as a "shareholder loan" or "personal benefit" he wouldn't be charged.
But Trump is
incapable of playing anything straight. He lies about things he has no need to lie about. Fuck, he makes up things that don't benefit him in any way! It's pathological. He does believe his own lies and lives in an alternate reality.
And if Trump deducted this payment as "Legal, Accounting and other Professional Fees" in his corporate tax returns, when in fact the money paid was for his own
personal gain, that is tax fraud. Both State and Federal.
I'm waiting for the other
shoe hammers to drop. There are plenty of people in prison for tax fraud for far less than Trump paid Stormy Daniels. The paper evidence in this case alone would result in charges and conviction of
anyone else. I think the opposite of you Trumptards have been brainwashed. I think the current administration is afraid to prosecute Trump because it only enrages the craziness of his blind devotees of his Cult of personality. And they have proven they can be more dangerous and deadly the United States than alll of the Muslim extremists that they are so worried about.
