Cohen lies about the source of money he used he paid to Stormy.
He took a home loan in 2015 to boost his taxi busoness, yet he makes it appear he took the loan just to pay Stormy.
In 2017 he was paid a retainer though Trump's children never engaged him at all.
Bragg knows this because these are established facts from his criminal trial.
Bragg has not named the crime,in the meantime every negative thing about Trump is being testified to.


You applied for a (fraudulent) $500,000 HELOC loan in December 2015 to help cover your failing taxi medallions in either Chicago or New York, or both. The (fraudulent) HELOC loan was approved in April 2016. The money you paid Ms. Daniels in October 2016 came from that (fraudulent) HELOC loan

Another thing in the transcript - that amount $420,000 was comprised of (130,000+50,000)x2 +60,000.

The $50,000, Cohen said was for a website provider from 2015. Cohen claimed the original bill was for $50,000, but he got the service provider to settle for less than that amount. He testified that he charged Trump the full amount because Trump never paid him back for that bill. Cohen also said that he pocketed the difference between what the service provider got and the $50,000 total because he thought he deserved it.



Website. Cohen had created a Trump website back in 2011 . He swindled Trump
"""""Star witness. Judge is overruling most questions to him.

Excellent Article. Very good read. That the NYtimes is reporting this is problematic for Biden. I'm sure it's represented in the Polling. I know a lot of disaffected people due the what's going on. I think in the end when the decision is Biden vs. Trump, people will come home. Trump would be so much worse on the issue. But, Democrats expect Biden to speak with a moral clarity and he has to find that voice.

Raumdeuter, why don't you come and condemn all this Israeli Settler terrorism, seemingly supported by the State of Israel this article speaks about.

The Unpunished: How Extremists Took Over Israel
After 50 years of failure to stop violence and terrorism against Palestinians by Jewish ultranationalists, lawlessness has become the law.

In the North Western part of Israel, the Golan heights over 100,000 Israelites have been displaced because Hesbolla ( Party of god) has been raining missiles and rockets every day.
That dont concern you , whats important is the ultra right wing unleashing their angst on Palestinians who want all jews dead.
Anyway you don't know that because your sources are biased

MentalCase98:
I like how Fareed admitted that the indictments against Trump are politically motivated. He said a flimsy indictment like the NY one would never have been brought against someone not named Donald Trump.

In fact most democrats are indirectly admitting it by openly saying things like “we just need to get him convicted before the election”. If this was truly about justice and not politics then why the rush to get it done before the election? Why not just let the legal process play out the way it should with the full rights of the defendant in order?
Blake Masters: It’s hard to put into words the staggering corruption of Alvin Bragg’s kangaroo court in New York City:

– The District Attorney lowers half of all felonies to misdemeanors yet raised a misdemeanor to a felony in order to indict Trump.
– The lead prosecutor was a DNC consultant and number 3 at Biden’s DOJ before being hired by Bragg to go after Trump.
– The other lead prosecutor donated over $1,000 to Joe Biden and ActBlue in 2020.
– The judge donated to Biden and his daughter is a left-wing activist who is using the trial to raise money for Democrats.
– The lead witness is a convicted perjurer who is selling t-shirts of Trump in jail on TikTok.

This whole thing is a joke and wouldn’t be happening if President Trump wasn’t leading in every swing state poll.


Mike Benz: The judge is so financially conflicted he wouldn’t even be allowed on the jury. The star witness is a multi-crime convicted felon who in most states wouldn’t even be allowed to vote.

Judge Cannon is putting Jackboot on his defence by the scheduling of pretrial motions filed in her court

Motion on his eligibility to be Special Counsel, the SCOTUS also looking into an amicus curiae brief filed before it.

Nauta motion for selective and vindictive prosecution. SCOTUS judge Alito I think mentioned selective prosecution in the hearings last month.

Claims of Biden WH and DOJ working behind the scenes to influence the Trump case.

https://www.declassified.live/p/judge-cannon-puts-jack-smith-on-trial/comments?utm_source=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Dont forget Jackboot used a DC grand jury to investigate the classified docs case, then went to Florida , got a grand jury to indict . Which didn't please judge Cannon in tne least.

This looks like he was looking to turn him into a witness looking for anything to blackmail him.

As to the last point, unfortunately for Trump, he already admitted he knew the payments were for hushing up Stormy and admitted to reimbursing Cohen. He admitted it in a tweet he fought to not have entered and also in a civil case against Stormy in June of 2018. Both were submitted into evidence last week.

More Details:
https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/1788934715354788339
I have not seen what the false claim is. It was a payment for legal expenses to company lawyer.
I get a per diem when I travel out of station, I submit extra expenses for reimbursements incurred above the per diem as long as its not for stuff like alcohol.

Since when did paying for silence become a crime? According to her lawyer this was a Contractual Settlement not a hush. Hush payments are for concealing a crime.
Did reimbursements to Cohen evade taxes?
If Trump hotel reimbursed Cohen to prevent damage to the Trump brand and ultimately for its business standing, where is the crime in that?
Consider Hunter trafficking hookers from Eastern Europe as part of his business expenses. Or paying Strip Club membership fees using his business credit card. ( The strip club later banned him for life!!! Just how sleazy can you act in a strip club to get banned? )
Or Wade paying for Willis cruise trips,, flowers and gourmet wine from his business credit card.
Trump didn't use campaign money like Clinton or Obama who were both fined by FEC. Which investigated this Stormy case , saw no reason to fine Trump. Manhattan DA investigation did the same
When Alvin took over he dropped it, two of his prosecutors resigned in protest. DoJ number 3 then Colangelo left his cushy job to work under Alvin . Colangelo had worked under Letitia James to investigate Trump before he moved to DOJ . He was Number 3 Top honcho rankwise in a 120, 000 plus employee federal behemoth Only to go report to Alvin? I think he was seconded there to lead the Trump inquisition.
Note all these indictment s have Biden WH or DOJ input.

Alvin Bragg has Matthew Colangelo who is a DOJ plant?

Fani Willis has a very curious hire who smells every inch a DNC plant.

That was a nutty post even for you. You believe that Cohen was really sleeping with Stormy and tried to cover it by paying hush money that Trump somehow reimbursed him for?
I'm glad you took your meds, realized how nutty it was and took it down.
STD lawyer Avenatti is the one who made the claim. He i in jail for numerous fraud charges , including extorting Nike , stealing STDs $300k royalties from her book.
There is a big chance that STDs first lawyer and Cohen extorted Trump. She hired Avenatti when she wanted to break the NDA , who in turn swindled her.

What should appall you is why investigations were on a perceived unmentioned crime that took place after elections ie payments made by accountants . Instead of whether the trio committed crimes when extorting Trump before the elections. Alvin should charge them for blackmail

Can those 51 retired IC bosses and media be charged for lying about Biden laptop?

Clinton got fined for using campaign funds to pay for Steele dossier. Obama was also fined for using campaign funds.
Its a misdemeanor, not a felony.

So it's pertinent to hear her testimony about criminal trumps interference scheme.
Maga cultists literally suspend their brain functions 🤣😭😭😅😂😭😅
Her testimony was of no value to the case. Alvin Bragg is not prosecuting the case for justice. He is persecuting Trump. The judge knows there is nothing there, They know an appeals court will throw away the case.
In the meantime damage Trump as much as they can, Michael Cohen is selling Jail Trump tshirts and Trump cant say anything about him because gag order.

Bill Maher doesnt buy Stormy's new story.

Listening to that and then listen to what she says after that, and then we're going to talk about the trial because it's quite in variants of what she said to me in 2018."

MAHER: Okay, you say it's not a MeToo case,

STORMY: It is not a MeToo case. I mean, I wasn't assaulted. I wasn't attacked, or raped, coerced or blackmailed. They tried to shove me in the MeToo to box it for their own agenda. And first of all, I didn't want any part of that because it's not the truth, and I'm not a victim in that regard.

This phone call was played out in court.

You better settle this God damn story. Because if he loses this election, and he is going to lose, if he loses this election we lose all fucking leverage this case is worth zero. And if that happens, I'm going to sue you because you lost this opportunity," said Stormy's lawyer Keith Davidson to Trump's then-fixer Michael Cohen, who then badly advised Trump to pay the extortion money.

This clearly shows Stormy Daniel and her lawyer were extorting Trump. Her lawyer has a history of settling such pay demands.He was involved in another case where Trump paid off McDougal and also on Hulk Hogan sex tape that bankrupted a tabloid.
Foreign Affairs › Re: UN General Assembly Backs Palestinian Bid For Full Membership by basilico: 9:15am On May 11, 2024
Its the US policy to stop funding any body that recognizes Palestine as a nation. I think there was something about negotiations between the two states on contentious matters such as East Jerusalem and Judea.
The bottleneck with this is that no Palestinian will ever agree yo recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Whoever signs an agreement to that effect will ho Anwar Sadat way.
In all previous negotiations Yasser Arafat refused, he started the Intifadah.No leader from the Arabs of West Bank and Gaza will ever sign on to Israel recognition.
Reason. The Cairo declaration

Furthermore if Palestine state is recognized the US stops funding the UN..All those glitzy diplomatics go back to their shithole countries, no funding of countries from the US taxpayer

This is Dead on Arrival.

2.) This was a staged exhibit photo as all exhibits are staged. You see the 2A there? It's like cops do when they seize drugs. They stack all the drugs on the table and take a picture of them all.
The investigators found all the classified data in that room, laid them on the floor(as that was probably the only place big enough) and hid the documents without proper classified jackets (you can see the white). The goal was to show all the documents found in that room for evidence documentation purposes. If the FBI wanted to frame Trump they would have added classified jackets to all of them.
3.) Trump has CCTV. He was watching the search real time and probably has video of it. If they thought the FBI was framing him by faking classified dcoucments, he would have released the video a long time ago. He hasn't.

So, let me entertain you.

The NyTimes wouldn't report on it because it's so silly and in the weeds. Basically a conspiracy theory. No serious person believes this will have any effect on the trial.
Now, I knew about it a while ago because I am a policy geek as I think understanding policy it's required to be a civic minded. So, I follow other policy geeks like emptywheel, who do a very good job of getting in the weeds and are usually spot on about legal things. This has been discussed and broken down in terms of right wing propaganda fooling idiots and hence affecting the Judicial system. You seem to be the "idiot" they are talking about.

Now for you. You don't live in the US. Why do you spend so much time and effort on getting in the weeds on US policy/legal issues that don't affect you and you clearly don't understand? It's odd and nutty for someone like you to dedicate such amounts of time here, when you could use that time to effectuate change in a place you do live.

Secondly, seeing that you clearly don't understand most of this. Like how investigations work or why investigators take pictures of evidence in places where they are found. Why did you pick someone like like Julie Kelly as your teacher? How did you find her? Did you look at her background? Investigate her credentials? Do you care she is almost always wrong esp. about matters pertaining to the Trump case and Judge Cannon? Like the very simple matters of law the appeals court overturned Judge Cannon on?

When she first popped up on my twitter feed a year ago, I read her for a contrary opinion. I at the time thought she was some Republican lawyer or such, why else would all these right wing people be promoting her? But she was almost always consistently wrong. Laughingly so. And her analysis always seemed off as if she didn't understand the law. I stopped reading her tweets. I recently found out she wasn't an actual attorney and didn't have relevant expertise. In fact she was just an ex- cook writing propaganda about things she didn't understand.

Lastly, the DOJ didn't leak this picture. This picture was an exhibit from a response motion the DOJ filed, explaining Trump had top secret documents, because Trump stupidly sued in Civil court saying they were his documents. A case Judge Canon allowed, your friend Jule Kelly propagandized for and a conservative leaning panel of the appeals court unanimously overturned and stopped.
You ended up refuting nothing.
The photo was for public consumption.
In Italics of what I posted were excerpts of Jay Bratt filing in court and a sample of how two media houses interpreted it on your behalf.

Yes. There is a two tiered justice sytem in play .

Regarding Biden. He had classified docs in 8 different locations, he had no power to declass them , let alone remove them from a read only SCIF.
Lefties always do what They accuse you of.. Biden had stolen classified docs in open boxes carelessly scattered all over his garage floor.

Jack Smith has a photo of a classified doc on the Valets phone.To him its proof that the docs were not securely locked up.

Joe Biden , Hunter sent detailed email with info about Ukraine that could only have come from classified docs in Joes possession.

According to court filings its FBI who placed the cover sheets. They were not in the boxes, they came with them.
If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet. The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose.”

Come on. Did you not read the article? Israel signed an agreement with the Malawian government to hire Malawians to go work in labour farms in Israel and be paid less than minimum wage. And now some Malawians left the jobs for factory jobs because they didn't even keep to the minimum wage agreement, and they were deported. The Israelie govt fumes about how they left the job, even though they were paid less than promised. But the Malawian govt's response is "don't worry, we have many more you can take as slaves. We gave you 1500 before, now we will give you 10,000 slaves" to reduce unemployment. Tufiakwa!. Those 10,00 will face inhumane treatments there and not one of them will be able to cough.

They were being paid $4.8 to work in farms for God's sake.
Those slaves will be made to work for about 24days in a month, and 10 hrs each day, hard labour, and at the end be paid $116. $116 in a month! can they rent a house? No. They will be living in refugee camps and living like slaves. So Malawian government cannot help these people set up farms, even if they earn $200, or even $00 as poor people, at least they are in their own farms in their own country, don't you see how dignifying that would be? And you say this is not slavery. Which developed country can you feed well with $100? I am pained.

But you believe red States like Alabama or West Virginia, which are usually dead last in every quantifiable US Metric tied to success, are filled with more capable people. Critical thinking has never been your string suit.

You should try seeing the world for what it is, not what your delusional mind wants it to be.

Also, here is the full Honiq interview. Anyone interested can watch it and make up their own minds.
Stormy's testimony had 2 purposes.
1.) To prove they had sex.. which everyone thought she was credible on even Honig.
2.) To prove why Trump would pay hush money so she wouldn't speak to the Press. The story she told, the way Trump's allies have flipped out over it and the way the defense is going after her, helps prove the prosecution's point on that. The story would have been a big deal if it came out before the election. Those are the 2 things the Jury will take from the testimony.

Ive seen this story before regarding Benghazi.

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles, that if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.

Raumdeuter, what are your thoughts on the FBI staging the trump document raid? What do you think about this country in regards to the justice system?
Bemeruca. This photo was staged. Those cover sheets were not in the boxes. FBi placed the cover holders, neatly clipped to whatever they planted, put them on the floor, took the photo and released it to media spin masters. This is outrageous and scandalous, a photo that 'proved' Trump had top secret classified documents carelessly strewn on the floor.
Details here.

If photo was taken at mar a lago, then FBI took the cover sheets thrre ready to deploy them.

Bloody fool.. What a prosecutors star witness (she owes Trump $500K that she says she will never pay), and admits on the stand she hates him. Also has numerous tweeter posts fantasizing about him being in jail.
Anyway if 12 of your mentally challenged types are the jurors Trump is guilty.
CNN legal analyst Ellie Honig says her testimony was disastrous.Honig is a former AUSA and a Rutgers + Harvard JD graduate as if that makes sense to your severe TDS.
