    The gas lighting is desperate since you can't and will never be able to back it up. Sounds a lot like Vlad desperate gas lighting to hurt American democracy in furtherance of his need to have Agent Oranges as his WH puppet. Try again and harder or.........long line on.

    Cohen paid off Daniels with a home equity loan in October of 2016. The payments to Cohen were repayments for the money he gave Daniels. They were labeled as Legal Retainer which is a falsification of Business Records.

    Seems like an even more weak deflection, quite desperate. Those foreigners proud or disappointed?! I'm going with the latter re effort?

    Take everyone's opinion with a grain of salt.
    I don't believe most opinions. As there's as many opinions as there are people.

    It's never been a secret that trump paid hush money.
    The question really is, was there some laws broken doing so.

    ""They were labeled as Legal Retainer which is a falsification of Business Records."" after the election in 2017....

    Sooooo.... Then it was a "loan payment"... all they needed to do is write "loan payment" on the checks.... see how this works...

    Can you prove Cohen was not the one having an affair with Stormy? .... and he was paying his own debt?..... "with a home equity loan"
    See.... here is another "loan" payment from 2017... easy peasy.....

    It was a nothing burger. She admitted that she had nothing to do with the documents.

    'Michael Cohen's appearance in the Manhattan trial of former president Trump will be a scene that is both mesmerizing and repellent for many, particularly in the bar.'

    'Cohen nearly comprises the prosecution’s entire case against former President Donald Trump under a criminal theory that still has many of us baffled. It is not clear what crime Trump was supposedly trying to conceal by making “hush-money” payments to former porn actress Stormy Daniels.'

    'What is clear is that none of the witnesses called in recent weeks has had any direct involvement with Trump on the payments.'

    And the payments were not illegal.

    Tarasoff and McConney gave more damning testimony. This time about the details of how Cohen was reimbursed for the hush money payments. The prosecution has notes written both by McConney and Big Al explaining how the payments to Cohen would be made and what the separate checks were for........reimbursement, a bonus, and money for the taxes Cohen would owe after he fraudulently claimed the income as legal fees.

    Tarasoff and McConney also testified to the total control Trump had over payments, especially from his personal account, which was the account Cohen was reimbursed from.

    Just as was the case in the congressional Jan. 6 investigation, these witnesses were people from inside the walls of Trumpworld.

    Hmm. We already knew Cohen paid Daniels. Nothing illegal. Obviously Trump knew about it. Nothing illegal. It doesn't matter who was blamed for the payment; Nothing illegal. There hasn't been a hint of a crime yet in this trial. Maybe Cohen will convince someone about a Trump crime. Or maybe not. He is a convicted perjurer. This trial is even more fun than the Georgia case about fraud that didn't defraud anybody. Obviously the prosecutors aren't trying to convict someone as a criminal. They are just trying to screw up Trump's campaign and it doesn't appear to be working. Isn't politics fun?

    But payng hush money to a porn star isn't illegal. Not exactly damning. What a hoot.

    Well when all that you have left is to copy, it tells me my stand is superior and not soviet styled propaganda weakness. Sad for you.

    Stormy is not my type... but if I were Trump and slept with Karen McDougal... I'd be on the court house steps at high noon on a Friday afternoon with a blow horn screaming "I slept with Karen McDougal" and have banner waving claiming the same....

    The defense closing statement should be to have the jury make their decisions on exactly what a phuster cluck the indictment didn't say and totally screwed up interpretation of the off the wall charges are......that state prosecutors have no jurisdiction over federal elections... and Trump has never been indicted or convicted of FEC violations... Looks like our corrupt judge may well not have instructed the jury that catch and kill and NDA are not illegal, which should have been his duty on day one... there are lawyers publicly asking what are the charges and what is the second crime

    presumed innocent until proven guilty by a honest, fair, and impartial jury..... that last part may be a sticking point after the trial and the jury pool starts running their mouths.. someone like this one ditsy kid (georgia case) would not keep her mouth shut and uncover how biased she was...

    Big House Bubba might change Trump Whine to Soprano. Regardless, it will be his first offense so maybe not?!

    Not only have I seen stories about Cohen having an affair with Daniels, I've seen stories where it may have been possible that Daniels was trying to blackmail Trump.

    It tells you whatever ignorant BS you wish to believe. As does everything else including things that are 100% opposite what you believe.
