So if Trump paid back Cohen, that's a loan, which was not disclosed during his campaign. Might be detail, but could actually be the first sign that Trump violated election laws.
Trump's loan

mueller please hurry, we can't let this guy get the nuclear loans
So are you saying Trump paid Cohen just for fun? Why would Rudy lie about it then?
so there isn't any Russian collusion then
>you have to disclose personal loans
You know you have to be 18 to post here buckaroo?
Someone needs to go to prison. If it isn't the actual criminals in our government I am fine with Trump going down for being a pussy.
Why would he have to disclose his own expenditure? Blackmail payments to extortionist whores are not campaign expenses.
Trump supporters crow that Trump was paying for his campaign out of his own pocket and wasn't beholden to anyone.
Trump supporters also claim that paying for hush money to a pornstar out of his own pocket isn't a campaign finace violation.
=3
The Stormy Daniels meme is hilarious. They’re so desperate lol
Paying for things is illegal.
It isn't, dipshit.
If the money isn't tied to Trumps campaign and is personal money than he didn't.
Retainer, not a loan. try harder.
Makes no sense to me either but what do I know? The left is mad they lost the election so they are going to shove impeachment down the throat of America if they can, no matter the issue. If they do I think it will start a literal civil war. The problem is both sides kinda secretly want that to happen,bc everyone’s life is so relatively nice they can’t fathom the horrors of civil war and think it’ll be fun.
Gas yourself, nigger. You aren't human, and therefore you don't belong to this board among us humans. Thank you.
Don't worry, honey. Smarter folk that you will demonstrate in court how and why it is.

It would be one thing if he paid with elecetion money. It would be another if he used personal money that didn't touch the election.
>Trump supporters also claim that paying for hush money to a pornstar out of his own pocket isn't a campaign finace violation.
It's literally not
He had Cohen on retainer. Trump simply paid it; let Cohen handle his business.
You can't be this fucking stupid.
>Hush Money
The new Collusion. Just buzz words that mean nothing. Just wait until Stormy gets fucked in the ass for signing that NDA. Its cumming and she is fucked pardon the pun.
Not how businesses work. I make an arrangement with you that you will handle business and payments on my behalf. End of month, you send an invoice, my accounts payable/accountant/money guy sends you a check.
You can get a loan against your unpaid invoices, but they aren't loans by you to the person you did business for, they're loans from the bank to you in exchange for the invoice money when it gets paid.
So, ironically, some bank somewhere might have made a profit off betting that Trump would pay off his lawyer for having settled the Stormy affair. Unlikely, though, and they wouldn't have known what the deal was, just that some schmuck owed this lawyer $130,000 and hadn't paid it yet.
If he used his own private money then who gives a shit? You forget Trump is loaded he paid for most of his campaign his own way.
>could actually be the first sign that Trump violated election laws
But it isn't tho. Explain how, in your mind, this is a violation in any sense, citing specific election laws please. I'll wait.
>Repay
>Retainer
Funny one of those things is not like the other.
Also Cohen had been Trumps lawyer for a long time.. he was just NOW paying a retainer for him?
It's 5D chess, always has been. Rudy has been on Trump's side since the beginning, if this shit is in the news, it's there for a reason.
>ITT the party of "morality" supporting hush money to a porn star..

There aren't any smarter people than me, and being in a political campaign does not, in fact, mean that you must pay for all services in advance in all situations to avoid campaign finance stupidity. If this is a campaign finance violation, literally everyone who has run for public office in the last 50 years will probably be going to jail....
God that would be wonderful.
JFK fucking shared hookers with his brother in the white house and fucked anything that moved. Its a fucking nothing burger.
Very normal, nothing illegal.
Even congress do it with your money instead of their own.
Rudy is a fucking moron
why did he do this
>ITT faggot OP moving goalposts
Only if he used campaign funds.
More than likely he did not, and even if he did initially, proving that he did will be difficult since he put so much of his own money in.
They are pushing the FEC/Stormy meme to get him to open his finances to the public for politics.
Because everyone already believed that the money had been paid, and Trump couldn't fight Stormy without admitting that the money had been paid. Establishing the legality of the payment doesn't hurt them any more, but it lets them hurt Stormy badly, and prevent her from profiting off her shenanigans.
The amount of money paid alone violates the campaign donation limit.
Not reporting the loan was also a violation.
You are very smart, I am sure. The smartest people totally spend their time on Jow Forums
=3
>the first sign
Lol there have been signs for over a year
>Because everyone already believed that the money had been paid, and Trump couldn't fight Stormy without admitting that the money had been paid. Establishing the legality of the payment doesn't hurt them any more, but it lets them hurt Stormy badly, and prevent her from profiting off her shenanigans.
But if trump and cohen paid stormy to keep the story quiet without disclosing it that is illegal spending on the campaign
why does nobody get this
I'm fairly sure not knowing the definition of words like "donation" and "loan" proves you're mentally handicapped.
Even Kellyanne's husband who is a lawyer tweeted to him that he violated the law
it isn't
Remember when, as a kid, you broke the cookie jar and lied and lied about it, then you found out your dad had proof, like a video, of you breaking it, and you were all like "Oh yeah, I told you a bunch of times I did it!"?
this is what is happening here
Imagine being so fucked that your only arguments are:
"No is isn't!" and "you're mentally handicapped"
=3
Did Paula Jones violate her NDA to keep quiet about being raped by Bill Clinton when she went on national TV before the debate.
Great example. Because breaking a cookie jar isn't against the law, just like fucking a porn star and paying her to shut the fuck up isn't either.
>Trump violated election laws
Bullshit. Trump is a business man and makes many financial transactions a day, that have NOTHING to do with his campaign.
Trump had an affair while married and was worried that reporters might find out, so he paid the whore money not to talk. He did this to hide the affair from his wife. This has NOTHING to do with the campaign, he wanted to hide an affair from his wife.
>Great example. Because breaking a cookie jar isn't against the law, just like fucking a porn star and paying her to shut the fuck up isn't either.
I guess his continuous lies about this to the American People don't bother you?
what is going on in this photo with his face, I bet he wishes he really looked like that
And so what? Everyone violates campaign finance laws. The problem democrats have is any crime they pin on Trump has to be equal or worse to treason. Anything less and he looks good, because that’s how Americans have been conditioned. If they wanted to pin something else on him they should’ve shut up until the report was released.
>You are very smart, I am sure. The smartest people totally spend their time on Jow Forums
And yet, here you are.
Listen, double digit IQ. No one can say this any differently anymore. Trump’s entire wealth aren’t part of his campaign funds - that wouldn’t even make sense, right? So a payment from his personal wealth for a reimbursement to his lawyer had nothing to do with his campaign, correct?
You actually do, though, you fucking retard.
>Not knowing how retainers work.
>Might be detail, but could actually be the first sign that Trump violated election laws.
Might makes right, doesn't matter if Trump violated election laws. He's the most powerful man in the fucking world, kid.
You better stop pushing this because if they try to indict him, ya know what's gonna happen right?
Ol' Trumpy is going to declare martial law and have your boy Mueller and his gang rounded up for high treason, for their coup d'état against the duly elected government of the USA.
I know who I voted for. I don't care if he barebacked every single pornstar on the Vivid roster, I would vote for him again. If anybody didn't assume a billionaire was banging whores, you are retarded. All politicians lie too. I would rather the lies be "I didn't bang that whore" instead of "if you like your doctor you can keep him" or "I never sent or received classified emails on my private server".
I am not so insecure about my own intelligence that I need to pretend I am the smartest man in the room
Only if it was paid using campaign funds. The confusion is coming from most politicians being funded almost entirely by other people's money. Trump funded most of his own campaign with his own money, and $130k is nothing to him, so proviing that he used campaign funds to pay for it is going to be nigh impossible.
>the party of "morality"
Whelp, I suppose you shouldn't have spent the last several decades ridiculing and removing Christian values from our society.
Not sure what that has to do with me. You also didn’t agree to my statements.
What election law was violated? Or are you just grasping at invisible Russian boogeyman that violate your safe space?
>So a payment from his personal wealth for a reimbursement to his lawyer had nothing to do with his campaign, correct?
But the reason it is being tied to his campaign is because Stormy and Trump had dealings 10 years before she was paid off and she was paid off less than a month before the election
Any money that is used in relation to the campaign needs to be reported. The only way Trump could get around it would be if he could convince people that the settlement was to keep his wife from finding out and not to protect his campaign run. Note it can be both but both is a campaign violation
>pay a whore a pile of cash right before major election to not talk about 10 year old affair
>he just wanted to hide it from his wife!
absolutely delusional
The funny thing is, he could've just admitted it happened, paid her nothing, and still got elected. I mean when "grab em by the pussy" didn't sink his campaign they should've realized he was immune to this kinda attack but they decided to fuck themselves. If he just ignored her when she initially started to talk this would've been a blip on a weekend.
>Christian values
Like what raping children, worshipping Israel and being cucks? Fuck you faggot
Oh. Ouch. Cannot follow a conversation and fails to use words correctly. A double whammy.
I am sure you are just having a bad day, it happens to us all.
=3
Man, I’m not whomever you were talking to before. I chimed in midway through this thread since I just woke up. So whatever conversation you were having prior, wasn’t with me. Check the IDs and stop having a bad and embarrassing first day on 4Chinz
Trump has probably had Michael Cohen on retainer for decades now, dipshit.
>he could've just admitted it happened, paid her nothing, and still got elected.
Exactly!!!... so it was NOT about the election but about hiding it from his wife... thank you for clearly supporting my case!!
>raping children
Let me guess. You are not a lawyer. "Any money used in relation to the campaign"
The burden of proof is on you to prove this MONEY was used in relation to the campaign.
Remember when Clinton paid off all the woman he raped? Funny how rape is ignored by the Operation Mockingbird media but consensual affair is borderline treason LMAO.
Oh baby. I know that. You just started with an attack on my "double digit IQ" and I responded to it. Again, I am not insecure about my own intelligence.
Are you going to "agree to my arguments" now?
>causes the subversion of Christianity
>mocks the subverted state of Christianity
The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.
Not gonna lie. Former Trump supporter here. It's been fun watching the Dems crash and burn, but in all seriousness, we can't let this guy get the freely for sale Stromy snatch.
I think its simple, she didn't think he would win, nobody did, but given hes about to be in an election she had maximum leverage to extort him, shes a washed up porn "star" with diminishing career prospects.
Then its over and shes pissed he won, or at least shes aware many powerful and rich people are and has a stab at payday #2 by probably whispering in ears of other politicians/lawyers shes fucked.
Shitlibs will never convince a Trump supporter that this is somehow related to campaign finance. It will never happen. Get over it.
They will also never convince his supporters to abandon him because of his morality. The evangelical wing of the GOP was BTFO in 2015-2016. We didn't elect Jesus, we elected Trump because he took up our causes - Immigration, trade, nationalism in foreign policy, etc. He still supports those causes.
>shes a washed up porn "star" with diminishing career prospects.
Roast beef does not age well.
If anything, Trump running for office is his penance for a life of degeneracy. I used to loathe Trump, but now I'm thankful that he had the courage, strength, and wit to make it to the White House and start pushing for the right causes when nobody else would take the mantle.
That’s great, I’m happy you’ve chosen to be a sub-par version of not only yourself, but the human race. Unlike any other time in history, we have all the tools necessary as individuals to be incredibly intelligent and smart people - yet you choose not to be. We are the apex land mammals on Earth, and you’re fine with being mediocre. Congratulations. Why aren’t you striving to be better? Where is your thirst for knowledge and self-importance in this world, since you clearly have an ego. Stop being a bag of shit and be the pinnacle version of yourself.
Non story. The only story here is Trump is fucking with the MSM once again. What happens when Trump declassifies everything Mueller knew about 9/11? What happens when Trump declassifies everything the CIA knew about Haiti? What happens when Trump declassifies everything the DOJ/CIA has on Comey/Clinton and HSBC? There is a reason Trump's first stop was to the CIA after he got elected. There is a reason he tweeted out his powers as POTUS.
>Only if it was paid using campaign funds. The confusion is coming from most politicians being funded almost entirely by other people's money.

NO you are just wrong.
You have to disclose all money you spend that could influence the campaign. If you spend $100,000 of your own money to keep someone quiet before the election then that money must be disclosed to the FCC
why can't anyone get this
>already popular public name could only possibly be trying to supress bad press because of the election
He's been doing this shit since the 80's, retard. Furthermore, nearly every politician would be guilty of this if paying reverse blackmail was illegal.
Also he is giving the evangelical wing of the party what they want most: a say in who gets put on the Supreme Court. They'll happily ignore Trump's sex life if it means they can get justices on the court that will for decades rule their way.
Implying Jow Forums is Gop.
You are precious. You cannot touch anything I said so you just keep attacking.
I am sure you are just having a bad day
=3
Fuck off toot user, go braaap back to pleddut where paying for an NDA is illegal.
Listen, Russian bot. State your arguments again and we can have a field day of back-and-forth till the thread archives itself.
Cool!
ITS NOTHING
Because not everyone gets their paycheck from Share Blue. Keep fucking that chicken into November and watch your world burn down.
>Because not everyone gets their paycheck from Share Blue. Keep fucking that chicken into November and watch your world burn down.
but
You also didn’t “touch” anything I said on the subject matter. I’m still waiting for a reply. Can’t really carry on a debate if you’re willingly refusing to answer topical questions.
Check the IDs, friend and stop embarassing yourself.
So it's legal to blackmail anyone running for office, you fucking mongolid?
>check the IDs, baby
=3
Sorry, friend. But as a man, I don’t let others tell me what to do or how to think. That’s reserved for women and children. So, state your case again.
Paying for something you get reimbursed for isn't a loan. Also paying some whore to shut up isn't a campaign expense.
>legal payment
>legal NDA
>countdown to the left accusing Stormy of being a plant to distract them from Russia has begun
Get a load of this faggot, he thinks he's commenting on some mainstream news site.
Point us to the law then, I've heard plenty claim it, haven't seen anyone reference the actual law, very similar to the way they went on with the Russia shit with charges of treason and conspiracy which were batshit insane, even Dershowitz said many times, name the crime, they couldn't then, still cant now.
No, idiot, I'm saying Hillary was so politically toxic that the type of people that normally care about this type of thing weren't gonna change their vote even if it came out. You brainlets make all of us look retarded
There won’t be a civil war
Trump will not be removed from office
It doesn’t matter if Trump fucked a porn star. He no different from Kennedy or Clinton
Trump will get the nobel peace prize
Trump will serve an 8 year presidency
These are all facts
>Point us to the law then, I've heard plenty claim it, haven't seen anyone reference the actual law, very similar to the way they went on with the Russia shit with charges of treason and conspiracy which were batshit insane, even Dershowitz said many times, name the crime, they couldn't then, still cant now.
