Stormie’s Attorney Confirmed That The $ From Donald Trump Was Not “Hush Money”

Kieth Davidson said in court Thursday that the payment to her was not “hush money” but a “consideration payment”. A “consideration” is a term in legal contracts for something given in return for the promise of abiding by a contract. If she did not consider the payment “hush money”, then there is no possibility of cooking the books, since the payment was part of an agreed legal contract, merely legal fees related to the contract
Liberals: oh boy...Trump is going down...

It may not be a crime to pay a sex worker for sex.
It may not be a crime to pay a sex worker for silence.

But is SURE AS HELL [b][i]IS[/i][/b] A CRIME to classify those payments as "legal expenses."

It ain't the crime, it's the coverup, dude!!

@ElwoodBlues Ah, non-disclosure agreements are now illegal, eh?

@sunsporter1649 Sure NDA's are legal.... but the terms are disputable in court.... in this case, Trump should have sued the woman.

Ehh, you're missing the campaign vs personal angle for this legal "hush money" contract.

If this case was THAT flawed, even Trump's lawyers could have gotten it dismissed ages ago.

@TexChik I missed it if he revealed any facts.

He did reiterate some and put a whole lot of spin on them, which I guess you could call explaining them.

I kind of lost interest when he talked about communist jurors, personally. He's obviously not a lawyer, but his website claims, among other things that he's a medical professional, which is mildly interesting.

The gotcha, though, with the 5th amendment, is pretty dumb, since whenever anyone asks you under oath, did you break the law, that's always the legally correct answer.

@MistyCee The legally correct answer for a lib lawyer. Again, your personal attacks on the source. That is so common. The actions of last year and this will be in legal textbooks for centuries to come about what happens when a lib prosecutor believes they have absolute power and are untouchable..

Contract is to shaddup about the affair. Money — sorry, “consideration”— is given to ensure the contract is upheld.

“Hush money” is that which is paid to keep someone from spilling beans.

Sorry, these are different… how..?

Legally you are completely wrong, as usual.

If doesn't matter what someone considers something, it matters what the law sees it as.

Such as if someone steals money, but they don't consider it stealing, that does not make it not stealing just because they didn't consider it stealing.

It matters what the law says, not what the people say.
@sunsporter1649 Now you're just changing the subject and trolling
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@sstronaut You telling me that some local attorney did not rewrite the statue of limitations clause, and elevate a bookkeeping error to a felony, did not do just that?
@sunsporter1649 Nope, I didn't talk about that.

It's all in your imagination.

I don’t understand why this is a trial at all. It only fuels the fire more. This is what you drag a former president - any president - into court for? As usual American has no idea what this stuff does to world view.

@JollyRoger “I have a red button too, and it’s bigger than yours “ works every time

@DownTheStreet The idea is to keep him tied up in court and keep him from campaigning. The democrats are afraid of him, so they have to try every dirty trick they can think of to keep him from winning in November,
JollyRoger · 70-79, M
@fanuc2013 @DownTheStreet Hmmm... Don't you think he might have avoided all of his 'troubles' just by being a conscientious and honest person?
Livingwell · 61-69, M
In legalese it's the same thing. You are not a lawyer.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Livingwell The atttorney that said fulfilling the contract was not an attorney?

@sunsporter1649 @sstronaut states it perfectly.
From today's testimony, a written document record of how Trump would deceptively repay the hush money to Michael Cohen.

[quote] Jurors who will determine Donald Trump’s fate got their first look at the damning paperwork tying the former president to his porn star hush-money coverup, with testimony from the buffoon accountant who took notes of a meeting that set it in motion.

“I made a boo-boo,” Jeffrey S. McConney admitted when describing the erroneous math he scribbled on “TRUMP” corporate letterhead.

The former Trump Organization controller testified about the notes he took during a January 2017 meeting that laid out how the family real estate company was going to surreptitiously reimburse attorney Michael Cohen for fronting the $130,000 that silenced the porn star Stormy Daniels. That payment kept her from going public about her decade-old, one-night stand with Trump in the days before the 2016 presidential election.

The farce was laid out in black and white, with handwritten notes explaining the fuzzy math at play.

Cohen would be paid $180,000, which was doubled on paper so that it would make up for the roughly 50 percent taxes the Midtown Manhattan resident would have to pay in federal, state, and city taxes. McConney wrote “180,000 x 2 for taxes” in black pen on the bright white paper. On the witness stand, he admitted the company was fine having it “grossed up” to ensure Cohen got his proper share.

The sham continued when tallying up Cohen’s bonus. Initially $50,000 was marked as “paid to Red Finch for tech services” but that seemed to morph instead to mean $60,000 for Cohen himself.

“Michael was complaining that his bonus wasn’t large enough. This was to make up for whatever he thought he was owed,” McConney testified.

The total $420,000 was then divided by 12 so that Cohen would get $35,000 each month for a year. McConney’s notes of that meeting included a mention that stated “Mike to invoice us,” the genesis of what prosecutors say would later be Cohen invoices for fake legal work that Trump gladly paid to keep the hush money deal under wraps.

Monday’s testimony also connected Trump directly to the process, a major step forward in the case. Prosecutors showed jurors a copy of a March 28, 2017 email in which McConney wrote, “I’ll check status tomorrow. DJT needs to sign check.”

On the stand, McConney explained that authorizing the money transfers would require having someone actually go to the White House have the then-president of the United States approve the payment himself—while he was president. [/quote]

@ElwoodBlues So non-disclosure agreements are somehow illegal?
@sunsporter1649 Nope. As I keep repeating, It's the falsification of business records that's illegal. In this case, he falsified records by claiming hush money for campaign purposes was a "legal expense."

It's the falsification of business records that's illegal.

@ElwoodBlues Non-disclosure agreements are suddenly illegal?

Trump will weasel out of it because he thinks the law doesn't apply to him.

@mksworld So much so the left-wing nut-job marxists like you are making up crimes to charge President Trump with
