    How about 'personal/private expense,' or 'payment to Stormy Daniels.'

    That's the beauty of conspiracy theories. Every time they get shown to be horseshit lies, it doesn't matter cause a new conspiracy is created out of thin air. LOL

    Yea, I'm sure that would have gotten him off the hook.

    That's what I thought of when I heard that clip. Here's this haggard, old looking gal who is much younger than Trump, bashing him for looking old. I figure she must have gotten some feedback on that point judging by the last part of the tweet. Ha Ha. She's aged quite a lot since Trump first came onto the presidential scene. Giver her a few more years and she might be as ugly as the Pelosi witch.

    Trump denies any relationship with Karen McDougal so why did Pecker say this to Cohen?
    What's a "little different"?
    Trumps going to get caught lying about not having an affair with McDougal and sex with Stormy.
    Sadly both women didn't hold out for more $$$, especially Stormy.
    At least at the time McDougal got career promises/promises from AMI and the 150,000.


    'Pecker testifies that he suggested they vet McDougal's story'

    'David Pecker is testifying about former Playboy model Karen McDougal's story about an affair she alleged with Trump.

    He said Michael Cohen's immediate reaction to hearing about McDougal's story from Pecker at the time was, "It’s untrue, absolutely not true."

    Pecker told Cohen "this is a little different" and suggested they vet the story. Cohen agreed that was a good idea, Pecker testified.

    Pecker went on to say that he asked former National Enquirer editor in chief Dylan Howard to go to California to interview McDougal and find out what the details were.'

    Poor,poor Rachel.
    She needs some orange face make-up, hair plugs, hair extensions, bleached blonde hair, Botox, face fillers, veneers,and boob implants.
    Then she could look just like Trump and all his female right-wing media gals.

    “I think everybody has made their own assessment of President Trump's character,” Romney told CNN's Manu Raju.

    “And, so far as I know, you don't pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you.”

    Just want to take a moment to thank Izzy for the excellent commentary on the daily events of the trial. I for one have found it invaluable.

    Thank you...

    That crew have their heads planted firmly up trump’s ass hoping for the vp nod from the orange dotard.
    They will just bend over meekly and grin as trump insults them.

    This case is about invoices, voucher entries, and payment checks. Just think about that for a bit. That's what they say he falsified. The first ever indictment of an American ex-president should be for something that actually matters.

    Firstly, so what that he is an ex-president

    secondly, he wasn't a President, ex or otherwise when the crimes were committed

    Thirdly, why should he be treated any differently to other New Yorkers where many have been found guilty of falsifying business records

    It is- he is already on trial for trying to overturn the election through a variety of illegal actions, but trump has managed to fiddle the justice system with endless delays to those trials, so this one came first.
    But don’t worry, trump will get his day in court for being the only American president ever to try to steal an election that he lost.
    Is that serious enough for ya?
    Or will you be whining about those trials as well?

    It matters a GREAT deal. IF it news had come out about “Stormy McDougall” BEFORE the election would he have EVER even been president?

    Wait until you see all the documents/emails/texts/phone records/ audio recordings that led up to the false "legal expenses" entry.

    In reality this case is about Trump & Co. colluding for more than a year to pay off people to keep their mouths shut about negative stories about Trump that could influence the 2016 election in a negative way for him.

    The doorman Dino was the first person that David Pecker ever paid, $30,000 in Dec.2015, to protect Trump and we now know according to Pecker's testimony that in prior years he never paid off anyone for Trump to keep the wolves at bay.
    This was a new scheme and this was all about the 2016 election.

    Pecker again anted up, this time $150,000 to Karen McDougal in the summer of 2016.
    Enter Trump/Cohen, $130,000 to Stormy two weeks before the Nov 2016 election.

    Yep!
    Trump did falsify the $130,000 pay-out to Stormy claiming it was a legal expense when it was hush money being repaid to Cohen aka an " in-kind contribution" to a candidate.
    And the rest is history!

    Exactly what were these 'illegal actions' that Trump took to try to overturn the election? Please be specific.
