    Trumps lack of ethics has nothing to do with this thread...

    Remember - it was income taxes that brought down Al Capone... who's to say which of Trumps illegal acts will be his straw?

    So they did or they didn't. There is basically or essentially.

    So much leeway is afforded to these sort of disclosures because the people that make them lead complicated lives.

    The finances of a typical household can be summed up on half a sheet of paper.

    The finances of somebody like Trump, Clinton, Obama, any wealthy politician, these take multiple volumes and that's why amending and revising the statements is so common.

    This means nothing, trust me, and it will amount to nothing but media hype.

    It’s from hyper left wing Rawstory so take it with a gain of salt.

    You don’t know that Cohen and trump both denied that trump repaid this money?

    President Donald Trump said on Thursday he did not know about a $130,000 payment made to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels for her silence, his first public acknowledgment of the scandal surrounding an alleged sexual affair that has plagued him for months.

    "No," a terse Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when questioned about his knowledge of the payment, which was made by his private attorney Michael Cohen in the month before the 2016 election.

    The reason I wanted a quote is because the language is what matters; language in statements both verbal and written.

    What a pile of crap from a wannabe dweep. MSNBC -hack, figures! Footnote makes it perfectly clear that Trump didn't violate OGE reporting requirements in 2016 by failing to disclose this liability--the liability did not arise until 2017 when Cohen first sought reimbursement, Silly!

    I reading this interesting spin the Anti-Trump forces is attempting here.

    It's common for attorney's to pay for legal expenses incurred on behalf of a client. It's how law practices work. Those costs could be for anything that is within the boundaries of the relationship between attorney and client.

    Are those expenses covered initially by a law firm now to be called loans?

    That a new one.

    Let's assume for the sake of spits and giggles that the hard on the OP is displaying has merit.

    This amounts to a federal election rules violation. When was the last time one of those resulted in anything beyond a fine?
