Topic: Donald Trump convicted 34 counts. - page 2. (Read 539 times)

No, he was using campaign funds, which require precise tracking and accounting - Trump perfectly knows this, but even if he does not, the law applies equally (not knowing a law is not a defence - I mean not any country in the world). In the same way, Trump is responsible for the correct use of the funds like the CEO of any company is responsible for controlling the last dime of their company.

It is not a question of a jury being wrong, it is a question of all the evidence being in written records for absolutely anyone to see.

Your privacy is eroded? Are you running a campaign while whoring around, paying for silence and falsifying records?

That's not what TS said. Besides, juries can be bought or tricked. They are not always right.

Trump has always expressed that his payments were not for anything illegal to his knowledge; he simply trusted that the funds were being used for something legal.

However, the real damage is that our privacy is being eroded through this verdict.

If you look at it, these court cases have been going on for a very long time, and we do not see any results. Perhaps there is not enough evidence, or perhaps the accusations are false.

It seems to me that the European Union does not want Trump to become president. If you look at it, these court cases have been going on for a very long time, and we do not see any results. Perhaps there is not enough evidence, or perhaps the accusations are false.

You must be joking! Trump falsified the record to hide the fact he was paying a Porn Star(ish) 34 times with his campaign funds - a fraud - those are the felonies. It is so basic that I can only thing you are trying to confuse people here. Even the witnesses are largely irrelevant because all the falsified recording are in written for anyone to see, as simple as money coming from here goes to there.

People all over the place are accepting funds to help them pay their election expenses. There are laws to regulate fairness in how and when they get those funds, and from whom they get them, right? What presidential election was the porn star running in that she received funds illegally from Trump in her campaign?

Creating a fake company to funnel money to a porn star 2 weeks before a presidential election you're a candidate in because you don't want to follow campaign finance laws is a crime.

it wasn't.

it was about him committing fraud to help him win the election.

Cheating on your wife isn't a crime.

Paying a porn star to stay quiet isn't a crime.

Creating a fake company to funnel money to a porn star 2 weeks before a presidential election you're a candidate in because you don't want to follow campaign finance laws is a crime.

If this trial was truly about a sexual affair,

Trump is now a convicted mass felon.

Should be interesting to see how this now unfolds.

Please realize this thread is for civility and discussion.

The fact that there are many others including Cohen who are not in jail cells, but did things even worse than Trump, shows that this whole thing was a set-up. But it is backfiring.


"I Just Donated $300k To Trump"...I'm prepared to lose friends. Here's why.

Clinton's campaign and voted for her.

By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn't vote – I didn't like either option.

Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I'm supporting Trump.

I know that I'll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it's the right thing to do.

I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak.

I'm going to start off with something provocative, but I think it leads to a different take on the most controversial Trump issue, which is obviously January 6th. So here goes nothing.

I believe the 2016 election was manipulated to hurt Hilary Clinton and to help Donald Trump.

Hilary Clinton herself believes this, she has denied the 2016 election result dozens of times, and still does to this day. Plot twist: I agree with her! Look into Guccifer 2.0 which was the "hacker group" that strategically leaked her emails (through Wikileaks) in a drip campaign at just the right moments. Turns out it was the Russian GRU. And remember all those fake news and bot farms? These incidents are the tip of the spear -- some of the publicly known incidents. There was extreme manipulation happening during the 2016 election.






Best of luck to President Trump.

Yeah. However, Trump can run for president even from prison, if I'm not mistaken. But how will the Democrats create a criminal image for him before the election? This is their chance.

The fact that there are many others including Cohen who are not in jail cells, but did things even worse than Trump, shows that this whole thing was a set-up. But it is backfiring.

Best of luck to President Trump.

As far as I can see it's because of the issue of having an extramarital affair with a porn actress and conspiring to buy the silence of a porn actor days before the 2016 election and covering his tracks in business records,

Was it not for something like this that Clinton resigned? In any case, instead of admitting it, he denies it and says he will appeal.

I don't envy you Americans, having to choose between an old coot who you don't know if he's going to die or sleep while he tries to talk and can't articulate his words properly or this mafia style guy.

I don't really like the choices where I live either, but they don't seem so like cartoonish to me.
