DBP66 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 yet another scar on Trump's Presidency...Lying Donny... For first time, prosecutors connect Trump to a federal crime MICHAEL BALSAMO,Associated Press 11 hours ago. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says that President Donald Trump directed illegal payments to buy the silence of two women whose claims of extramarital affairs threatened his presidential campaign, the first time prosecutors have connected Trump to a federal crime. In a court filing , prosecutors said former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen arranged the secret payments at the height of the 2016 campaign "in coordination with and at the direction of" Trump. Cohen has previously said Trump was involved in the hush-money scheme, but court documents filed ahead of Cohen's sentencing made clear prosecutors believe Cohen's claim. The filing stopped short of accusing the president of committing a crime. Whether a president can be prosecuted while in office remains a matter of legal dispute. But there's no ambiguity in Friday's filing that prosecutors believe Cohen's act was criminal and Trump was directly involved, a remarkable disclosure with potential political and legal ramifications for a president dogged by investigations. The payments are likely to become a target for House Democrats gearing up to investigate the president next year. It's unclear whether Trump faces legal jeopardy over his role. Federal law requires that any payments made "for the purposes of influencing" an election must be reported in campaign finance disclosures. The court filing Friday makes clear that the payments were made to benefit Trump politically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual-1’s strategy depends on American’s being numbed to the fact that he committed multiple crimes to get elected…If he succeeds, we will have lost something fundamental to our democracy.

But the devil, as they say, is in the details. And the details here are quite different. The SDNY sentencing document suggests that it’s not the campaign finance violation or the ‘simple financial transaction,’ it’s conspiracy to defraud the United States. In other words, it’s not just the payment itself, it’s the fraud conducted on regulatory bodies designed to ensure transparency – Which is a crime in and of itself, regardless of how serious the campaign finance violation is. It's worth noting that DOJ policy (wrongly in my opinion) is to not to indict a sitting president. Both SDNY and Mueller appear to be following that policy. But the Trump Organization is not the sitting president, and there are no policies against going after that. I'm guessing the next charges could be against the Trump org itself (and perhaps one or more of his children). Please note: This is a real time news story, and there are plenty of clues in both the SDNY and Mueller filings that there is more coming (FWIW, it looks like Mueller may be going to charge similar conspiracy crimes – e.g. hiding the role of the Russians), so I reserve the right to change my mind as we learn more. For now though, I am asking myself the question ‘how will Individual-1 react if his organization is charged?’ That’s where his ego lies. Stay tuned.
