President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

How can a West Point grad and Harvard MBA be so uninformed?

 

"I got a lot of respect for the guys who don’t break under the pressure, the FBI pressure, or whatever. This is the government we're talking about. They can do a lot to you in terms of pressure, but I didn’t do this for the deal, believe me. Okay?"--Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, 1999.

It's uncanny.


Donald Trump Sounds Like a Mafia Boss - The Atlantic

 

Pecuniary interests trump national interest.

 

Real estate investor … motivational speaker … is he a life coach, too? That would be the triple crown of “too lazy to work, too nervous to steal.”

 

The usual advise is buy gold and freeze dried food

 

If there's no evidence this money came from the campaign, and for the sake of argument a person can donate as much of his own money to his own campaign as he wishes, how is the payment to Stormy Daniels a violation of campaign finance laws? Bill Clinton paid off Paula Jones. How was that not a violation of campaign finance laws? It was his money. There is no evidence of the money coming from the campaign, as Cohen paid it out of his own funds and Trump paid him back. So again, he paid someone off. Not against the law.

Cohen got some really bad advice. I don't think Lanny Davis is stupid, he just hates Trump and wants to see him impeached. Cohen is the idiot here. He pled guilty to a Campaign Finance Law that he is not guilty of violating. And he will probably lose his law license over it, thanks to the shit advice he got.

By the way, the unlawful corporate contributions and excessive campaign contributions are why Obama was fined $375,000. Nobody pled guilty to anything, it's a fine. The others are his personal issues.

 

Psst, guys, a lot of you are journalists.

 

Keeping accurate records is important.

 

Professor Alan Dershowitz can explain it better than I can:

Dershowitz: Trump 'more correct than his critics are' with claims about Daniels, McDougal payments

 

Perhaps there actually is evidence that the money came from the campaign, and perhaps Trump lied on national television — again — when he said he paid the money himself.

Just because Trump says a thing doesn’t make it true; in fact, there’s a good chance it’s false.
