and everything to do with hiding it from his wife. (P.S. I have a tower in Paris for sale.)

Was to shield Hillary from the truth as well.


LOCK HIM UP!

Ask yourself:

If you tried this on your tax return, how nervous would you be if the IRS sent you an audit notice?

MuHAHaha

...and full documentation on the $130K.

fronted to keep the porn star quiet.

Hope Mueller is on it. That sounds like obstruction or something. It's certainly criminal.

what would be criminal would be using campaign funds for something personal or failing to report it if it was campaign-related.

election altering revelation like candidate philandering.

for Donald Jr. have been paid from campaign funds, it was reported. The campaign funds, plus their charities are treated like their personal piggy banks.

Every aspect of a Presidential candidate's life becomes a blend of political and personal. Just my view, of course...campaign finance laws may well have a more black-and-white definition.

Even if 99% of the benefit is personal.

They might have tried to hide/fudge the reason if the 130k expenditure was reported at all.

i guess if i was a prosecutor i'd want to ask them under oath if it was campaign-related or not, then decide which charge to pursue.


in any event, donnie better hope he's got a good excuse for the $130,000 reimbursement from the campaign to try to claim it was unrelated.

You can't deduct personal expenses as corporate write-off's. At least not without violating the tax code.

Did he try to write off hush money? If so, no wonder he doesn't want anyone to see his taxes. Way too many questions would be raised.

I don't see how DT can walk out of all his shitty, shady, corrupt dealings without an indictment on Something. What a tangled web indeed.

since he files corporate taxes in ny, ny would have some jurisdiction over this.

I imagine there were a lot of payments to the Trump businesses over the course of the campaign. Without details, it's just speculation about the reason for this payment.

Note the change: three eights and two threes. That looks very fishy to those of us that study numbers and "made-up random" patterns.

I know there's a statistical method used to analyze tax returns, financial documents, and scientific data. Non-random digit patterns are used to identify fraud.

There's no such thing as "now I really have seen it all" with him.

It has also been suggested there are many others

The lawyer could have said this is what everyone else takes, offer expires at midnight

the legal and ethical questions this creates

think about it. time delay makes it hush money. hey that's new

On what? If they had been paying a monthly rental then perhaps that would explain the odd settlement figure, too hide it with similarity.

or rather makes his housekeeper in NY do it.
On top of everything else he is a freeloader.

the now gone SPY Magazine used to do what they called Spy Pranks. In this particular one, they sent checks for less than 25 cents to a bunch of rich people to see who would actually cash it. Guess who did.

This is interesting...unfortunately the author thought Trump would never survive the primaries. But then again, none of us did.

My memory is foggy, but didn't Edwards use campaign money to make some payments to his mistress?

That story would dominate every news outlet 24/7 until the literal death of the universe.

But Trump? Meh. It's just locker room talk.

trashed perceptions of his morality. And to his supporters it’s if I don’t believe it, it cannot be true.

they paid for hush $$$$$ to a porn star? Doubtful. really Suckers.

But, since it's against the law.. who cares?
