    Today’s 5 Biggest Reveals About Donald Trump’s Porn Star Hush Money Scheme
    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/donald-trump-porn-star-hush-money

    "The documents reveal frantic moves by Cohen and others, including Trump campaign press secretary Hope Hicks, to buy Stormy Daniels’s silence. The FBI’s allegations are new, and paint a picture of high-level involvement from Trump himself and his close associates as they struggled – and ultimately failed – to contain the story of Trump’s affair with a porn star."

    There are issues for the Adulterer-in-Chief on multiple levels with this story. First, he cheated on Melania. Second, he paid Daniels to keep the story quiet just before the election and in so doing defrauded the American people. Third, he lied to the American people about being involved in the cover-up. Fourth, his involvement is a criminal offense...an offense for which Cohen plead guilty for his involvement.

    Would any other politician survive this story in terms of being a candidate for office in the next election cycle? No. Why? Because it is an example of immoral, illegal, deceitful behavior.

    But for Don it's no problem. Just as lying about disagreeing with the "send her back" chants at his rally last night is not a problem. If he disagreed with what was being said why did he stand there and let the chant play out for 15 seconds? Why not put his hand up and stop the audience? If he disagrees with the chant does he also disagree with his own tweets saying the congresswomen should go home? The tweets that started the controversy.

    The evidence released today indicated the Conman-in-Chief would have been indicted along with Cohen if not for him being prez.

    This denial is a lie.

    Violating election laws, ignoring foreign influence and showing allegiance to hostile powers, trumpers don't care what he does. This is all about trump and the cult of trump. It has nothing to do with America or American values.

    The Republicans are effectively waging war on the US. The message is that the president is above the rule of law. He is a dictator.

    Dems ask whether DOJ memo prevented prosecuting Trump for hush payments
    https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/19/doj-memo-trump-hush-payments-1422933

    "House Democrats want to know if a decades-old Justice Department prohibition on indicting a sitting president played a role in federal prosecutors' decision not to criminally charge President Donald Trump over hush money payments that he directed his fixer to pay to women."

    Yet Cohen sits in prison in part for doing what Don instructed him to do regarding the payments to Daniels.

    Are you bothered that Don conspired to keep the American voters like yourself from learning about his affair just a short while after the Access Hollywood tape's release?

    The Repub controlled Senate is no more likely to hold him accountable for his crimes than you are.

    Nondisclosure agreements are entered into every day and they are not illegal. Trump used his own money to pay women. Those payments can only be scrutinized under election law if it can be proven that Trump only paid them because he was running for federal office. The original payments were made long before he was running. In fact, Trump won a lawsuit against Stormy for violating their nondisclosure agreement.

    Will your temper tantrum ever end. You lost --- outsmarted by a guy you look down your nose at. The problem isn't Trump, it's your hubris.

    Notably, nowhere in your reply is a denial of his guilt of criminal conduct.

    Nope. The left has been doing this for over two and a half years. it is not working. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for different results.

    Doesn't matter if campaign money was involved. It's still illegal.

    Anyone who doubted Trumps "Involvement" is either stupid or so devoted to their hero they cannot see the obvious.

    Michael Cohen plead guilty to non-crimes to get a deal on crimes he committed that predated his relationship with the Trump campaign. This was a tactic corrupt prosecutors use every day. In fact, Some of the Mueller crowd of corrupt prosecutors were famous for having convictions overturned for prosecutorial misconduct.
