    I asked you first
    Says the man going to prison for illegal and immoral behavior? What illegal and immoral behavior by Trump is of interest to the committee and why?

    I dont follow this closely, mostly because I dont care...

    But I heard he was going to testify and instantly thought of a jailhouse rat.

    They're also not considered credible witnesses.

    No, it is not. The statute looks to the intent behind the payment, not the original source.

    Consider the logic of your claim. You claim that it can not be a campaign violation because the money is personal money. If that is the case, how can a candidate personally fund their own campaign? Trump did that in this case, to the tune of several millions of dollars.

    He was supposed to spill the beans on Trump.

    I've seen no beans.

    How can Congress have a fund to pay off sexual harassment claims in secret?

    Are people in Congress elected officials?

    When they're receiving leniancy for testimony? When such leniancy can still be changed?
    In the most partisan charged proceeding since the Johnson impeachments?

    I dont believe faerie tales, stories about money, or self interested known liars trying to save their own skin

    LOL... what a **** show.

    Democrats look like morons. They actually made Cohen their star witness and the first thing he does is call Trump a racist.

    You can't make this crap up. Just when you thought Democrats couldn't be any more scummy... they ask us to hold their beer.

    The payment to Daniels fits Trump's pattern of behavior over 40 years. He's been doing this stuff since the 1970's, with or without a pending election.

    Rep. Jordan: "How long did you work in the White House?"

    Michael Cohen: "I never worked in the White House."

    Rep. Jordan: "That’s the point, isn't it?"

    What has Trump done besides make Democrats and the Lame Stream media look like fools? Why do you think that will change?

    Lying under oath today does not improve his chances of obtaining leniency.

    Not even news ... the remarks / observations have been brought up before. Racially insensitive by my estimation, but insensitive doesn't = prejudiced. I know the context in which those observations were offered, and as hurtful as they might be, they are accurate assessments.

    So then why did the SDNY fail to prove that in court?

    Do you wish to argue that use of that fund is a violation of campaign finance laws?

    It looks as to whether it was campaign money, it was not. The candadite can spend his own money as he sees for and as much of it as he wants plus the the fact he has paid for such agreements outside of a political campaign. Has the FEC fined the campaign?
