It is still an illegal campaign contribution. Tell me, why pay just before the election?But the money came from the lawyer, not campaign funds.

The $130,000 from Cohen's corporation was a contribution on behalf of Trump's campaign, to help in getting him elected President. It's no different than if an organization had provided $130,000 of clerical services on behalf of Trump's campaign.But the money came from the lawyer, not campaign funds.
Is that like the "Lock her up!" that the Donald and so many of his followers were yelling during the campaign? Did you protest that by chance?
It's often the case that a person accuses others of precisely the wrongdoing that she or he, herself or himself, is guilty of.It's ironic how many of Trump's catchphrases and accusations are more aptly directed at him. It's Crooked Donald now, not Crooked Hillary, and it's Trump and his orbit that are looking at prison time. Lock them up.
His birther nonsense was a challenge to Obama's legitimacy as president, and now we're going to discover how an election was fixed for him and what part he played in that.
BTW, let me rant on this a second. If you and I were to go into a 7-11 and rob it, but then getting caught, do ya think we'll only have to pay a fine? But if were filthy rich, why are we treated with such kid gloves so all we have to do is to pay back some $, especially since we may come out $ ahead since so many other illegal activities we may perform may never get caught? IOW, who says "crime doesn't pay"?
Sometimes a person might even plead the fifth.It's often the case that a person accuses others of precisely the wrongdoing that she or he, herself or himself, is guilty of.
What campaign contribution? It wasn’t one. Why just before the election? Maybe because that is when the gold digger came forward thinking that would be the best time to try to extort money?It is still an illegal campaign contribution. Tell me, why pay just before the election?
You think Stormy asked for the money? I don't think it works that way.What campaign contribution? It wasn’t one. Why just before the election? Maybe because that is when the gold digger came forward thinking that would be the best time to try to extort money?
That isn’t correct. Now I see where your error is. It wasn’t a campaign contribution. And, yeah, I think there is a big difference between funding some clerks and a pay off to a porn star to keep her mouth shut.The $130,000 from Cohen's corporation was a contribution on behalf of Trump's campaign, to help in getting him elected President.

Um, actually that is precisely how it would work. It is kind of the job for that sort of woman to sell herself for money. If you know what I mean.You think Stormy asked for the money? I don't think it works that way.
I’m sure you don’t.I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
Or crazy like a fox. He spots a (for them) small amount of money to keep in with the most powerful man on the planet. Even if he were ever convicted (which won’t happen) his friend could fix if for him.Indeed, that's a Section 1 Rule of professional conduct.
But Cohen has maintained so far that he paid off Daniels without Trump's knowledge, has he not?
Cohen is an idiot who is still trying to protect a former client who is an idiot and a crook. Cohen even looks like he's not very bright.
That section doesn’t apply. Cohen didn’t make a campaign contribution. So, you haven’t found a law Cohen broke.52 U.S. Code § 30116(a)(8) - Limitations on contributions and expenditures: 52 U.S. Code § 30116 - Limitations on contributions and expenditures
You are just wrong about this. Any judge will find that this money was paid for the express purpose of helping Donald Trump win the election. That makes it a campaign contribution, and illegal.That section doesn’t apply. Cohen didn’t make a campaign contribution. So, you haven’t found a law Cohen broke.
We disagree. But let’s say you are right. It goes all through the courts. The end result would be a fine. No big deal for them. Nobody is going to jail. Mark my words.You are just wrong about this.

I never said anyone was going to jail over this. So we agree about that. A fine, disbarment perhaps. And it might be part of the impeachment charge.We disagree. But let’s say you are right.

You're just assuming that. To me it seems like Trump wanted to keep Stormy silence when he heard about her coming forward. (like dozens of other women). Who's responsible for giving money to someone? It's hush money. Not like Stormy is suing Trump.Um, actually that is precisely how it would work. It is kind of the job for that sort of woman to sell herself for money. If you know what I mean.
Regardless what you think of the lady that the president had an affair with while having a wife and kid at home . A lawyer even helping to keep them quiet is shady as hell let alone doing it during a camapign for a presidential election. Lawyer creating a shell corporation to launder the money is also all kinds of shady and illegal.Um, actually that is precisely how it would work. It is kind of the job for that sort of woman to sell herself for money. If you know what I mean.
Though the shady campaign contribution is something like some fines, bank fraud and laundering is a bit more serious. Disbarrment is very likely regardless.I never said anyone was going to jail over this. So we agree about that. A fine, disbarment perhaps. And it might be part of the impeachment charge.
Then what was the purpose of Cohen paying Daniels $130,000? That payment didn't benefit Cohen in any way. On whose behalf did Cohen pay that money to Daniels?It wasn’t a campaign contribution.
52 U.S. Code § 30101(8)(A)(i) defines "contribution" as:And, yeah, I think there is a big difference between funding some clerks and a pay off to a porn star to keep her mouth shut.
