I’m confused, isn’t hush money legal or can you not do that? Also isn’t that some kind of extortion? I legit can tell why they are trying to send him to jail
Hush, money needs to be legal on paper. If it’s not then will you get what he’s got now.
No look it up
They should send to jail Stormy , witches abound
It’s fraud and a campaign finance violation to pay hush money to a pornstar and then report it as “legal fees”
Why ? Because they are scare of him running for the 2024 US presidential election.Noe his popularity sore by over 15% after this so called indictment.
This could backfire on Stormy if there's evidence of extortion 😅 which is most likely why the case was dropped in the first place 😮
Lol. She was court ordered to pay Trump 300K in legal fees a couple years ago
@@RM-jb2bv that's great news because extortion should come with consequences. 👈😎👍
Nobody has charged her with it, yet. Trump and Republicans just want this to go away, clearly, but you're too dumb to figure that out, congratulations.
I think she doesn't mind she pays 300k and gets millions through popularity or whatever lol
I'm surprised she is not being charged with extortion.
It's obviously a money grab - if you don't pay I go to the press.
..... when was that ? 6 y ago?
October 2016.
What are you accusing him of?
Shes probably being paid to bring trump down, it's so obvious,
That's not what happened. Read her book.
Yea prostitution
Wait, what about this is illegal? How do we determine that the funds are campaign funds rather than his own funds?
The WSJ left that part out. Oops
Good point. Remember he also used his own money as campaign funds too.
Didn't trump fund his own campaign
@@deanmorgan7011 he has (or his campaign I suppose) has raised ~1.5 million $ since Trump said he was going to be arrested. So he has raised money form donations.
Did he spend some of his own money? I don’t remember. Seems likely he spent some of his own money in the early days at the least.
Can someone explain to me why it would be criminal for Trump and Daniels to sign a non-disclosure-agreement about their affair?
For the same reason you wouldn't have a hit-man sign a non-disclosure agreement to insure his silence. Remember the act itself supersedes the non-disclosure agreement because the act itself is illegal.
Here we go again...
I won't believe anything til I actually see it. We've been down this road too many times before. If he's guilty, he's guilty. If he's innocent, he's innocent. Nobody is above the law in this country, especially our politicians.
BREAKING: Criminal under investigation for committing crime (again)
@@mattjacks0n83 TBD if something comes out of it. He's rich, they find stupid ways to get around serious punishment, and given Trump's huckster mentality, he'll do anything to get it. If convicted, he could lose everything, especially if he was deceiving his own base giving him funds to fund his own personal issues instead of theirs.
an affair is not a crime, nor is paying someone to keep discretion. witch hunt!
It is if he used his Campaign Money for it.
Context is kind of important.
@@BroAnarchy He used his own funds so no case to answer to.
@@BroAnarchy ah! but what is the source of his campaign money? isnt that simply his own money? i bet its not issued to him by government!
@@InterdimensionalWiz
It's the not really so much the source. Lol it's the rules, laws and regulations behind how its utilized. And technically, Campaign Money is donated by Individuals, Cooperations and Committees, so yeah... It wasn't his money to begin with lol.
Here's an example that might be better for you to understand. Say i show up with a lot of cash in my hand. You ask naturally, "where did you get all that money?"
"From the bank."
" Oh .. ok i Gotch..."
"-after i took it from the Vault after ... Putting a number of people... 'to sleep' "
Kinda changes things around, doesn't it? You might have expected me to say 'from the ATM' .... But that's now how i utilized the Bank to get all the money.
See the difference?
@@BroAnarchy Trump Ran With His Own Money 💵 What Campaign Money?
What are you accusing him of?
Dou think it looks good for president to be accused of sex with pornstar
So if charges were dropped by state and federal prosecutors, there was a reason for that. If we are pretending why we don’t know what is leading to this case being opened back up, we are kidding ourselves.
Bill Barr shut down the investigation. Not quite the same thing as charges being dropped by prosecutors…
You mean you MF. Speak for yourself
What are you accusing him of?
Because the political establishment have spent the last 7 years trying to pin something, anything on trump.
They haven’t succeeded
indict rupert murdoch
His lawyer is flipped after he was his puppet lol it’s weird how ppl change fast
Weird how a guy took a 130k mortgage on his own property to front a payment that he knew was sketchy... Then ask for reimbursements? Who would do that? She signed an NDA on the trunk of her car in front of a porn shoot where she was filming porn... Her attorney went to prison for screwing her over too...
If anything, it's amazing how naive everyone is
@@TheReedable Very well said. As a neutral, it seems the democrats have just gone bonkers trying to stop Trump. Now I’m certainly not his biggest fan but all of this is a joke
$$$$$ can make them change.
Thank God for Castillo telling the truth about Cohen.
@@canman5060 spot on
She was lying then.
So it is illegal to have an affair outside marriage according to the Manhattan DA.
The case is about whether Trump paid the hush-money with Campaign Funds or not. Let's see...
How a $130,000 payoff turned into a multi-million dollar problem for Donald Trump.
When his enemies are willing to abuse a corrupted 'legal' system to their crank political purposes
You should have bought in her lawyer from last time. Michael Avenatti.
Does this even matter? Let's say hypothetically he gets convicted of every charge. So what? Is there jail time associated with this? He's going to get a fine and that's it.
The object is to prevent Trump from being on the next presidential ballot. Felons are excluded by law from running for president.
Except….. he’s not getting indicted or arrested. The truth is coming out and the DA is failing miserably!
If Trump wrote a personal check to the lawyer isn’t that ok? Not from campaign money?
This is not OK according to the Democrat. Trump for jail is a must for them.
Just curious why Brandon isn’t in jail yet?
Just curious, why aren't you and Trump in jail yet?
because he got more votes.
Angry and furor but. .same Clint, i ve no memory
Banana republic
sad she is the way she is
Mugshot finna be worth millions 😂
“Finna” You’re white, Frankie. 🤮
Two words... Monica Lewinsky remember that one? How come mr. Bill isn't in jail?
What about whataboutism? Bill Clinton paid a heavy price for _lying_ about Monica Lewinsky, but you don't remember any of that, do you? No, no you don't. This is one of the reasons you keep losing, but, hey, don't ever change. The two cases are pretty different.
Total Stalinism
No one is above the law. Nothing Stalinistic about it
The CIA has always been above both International Law and Domestic Law.
@@mattjacks0n83 investigating a person and not a crime is a hallmark of Stalanism
@@RM-jb2bv Trump is the serial criminal who complains about being investigated. If he doesn’t want to be investigated, he should stop committing crimes… 🤔
@@RM-jb2bv Trump committed two crimes, in fact. George Conway called this case "a slam dunk" on national television not long ago, he's right.
You have nothing on trump but oh you try leaches
She’s the one who should be charged! Its her fault for threatening to milking her affair.
You're entirely misguided. There's no law broken by threatening to tell the public about a real event that took place. It's not even illegal to pay her the hush money. What's illegal is HOW he paid her and with WHICH funds he did so. He broke the law. She did not. He should be charged. She should not.
Trump paid her off and then report it as “legal fees”. Did Stormy Daniels make him do that? 🤣🤣🤣
@@StealthyDead Exactly and thank you.
I dont see where Trump went wrong. Very sketchy case
ANOTHER LEWINSKY...😁😁😁😁😁
Following the money great investigation reporting bottom line is all about money money talk money is life everything cost money money is life
Real anything on this guy for real is this for real
What about Stormy's dirty deeds?
How can any hooker have deeds ?
Done dirt cheap...
the path to new president
American people no matter where you are from or what color you are never forget what people sacrificed for your freedom justice and Liberty 1776🦅2022..& 2023
So why did she go with him was it to bring him down she likes the lime light to adult's it is not like she was a child she was of age to do what she wants so why now all this terrable 🔚
Tempest in a tea cup. The ny da has nothing better to do than to be a hero to his cocktail weenie circle of friends.
Is it illegal to have an affair?
Psychos!!!
No but saying the case is ‘just about an affair’ is extra dishonest
No, it's illegal to use campaign money
Did you even watch the video?
@@CesarAnton but Cohen used his own funds... Then showed a personal check from trump... So where is campaign money? And the government said he didn't break any finance laws... Which by the way... Nobody knows those laws. Literally everyone breaks it, accidentally some how or another. Have you read the rules for F1 racing? Its huge and a lot of it is confusing
Is anybody here or in the world proud of our President Biden at this time please tell me so anybody and can you tell me one good thing that he's done for the United States besides destroy it anybody I challenge you
I told you no one would answer anyting the good challenge
Thank you for the highlight it means a lot to me
It's all is common in America or other European nations😂😂😂😂😂
1964 for clint....good bless🎉😊
Hold your breath Left 🤣🤣🤣
No thanks, Trump is de facto guilty, the only question is whether we have a legal double standard, or not.
I’m so excited / I just can’t hide it
Not even for $130k / In illegal use of federal election funds 🎶
🌹sending out condolences to all the people that have passed away in 2019-2020 2021 and 2022 covid-19 the most evil thing done in the history of our lifetime..Also 2023
Another Russiagate drama?
No, have you been paying attention, at all? No, no you haven't. Paul Manafort admitted to _Business Insider_ that he was in contact with the Russians while working on Trump's 2016 campaign, Russiagate was real. You can see the video here on RUclips. Now we know _why_ so many people who worked on Trump's 2016 campaign lied to Mueller. People like you are why Biden won, thanks and never change.
Indeed
Hush money ISN'T illegal you big idiots. God this country just waste money for no reason just to eventually get his conviction over turned even if you do break the law to convict someone.

Could arise from a tiny mushroom.
Hold all groups and media accountable for false news and get down to the detail of who's managing these groups
Paid for her story lol that’s rich she extorted the guy
Trump paid her to keep quiet about their affair and then reported it as “legal fees”. That’s fraud as well as being a campaign finance violation…
So many Russian bots posting trump nonsense 😆😆😆 jeez chatgpt comes out and the comments are nonstop lol.
Today I choose peace.🌟
what about the other days?
The more we digg into this the more shame we bring to both sides 😂
She looks like a real Fist Twister.
Two year statute of limitations ran out on that event. It will get thrown out, ultimately
That's why Bragg's trying to redefine it as a felony, hoping apparently to get around the limitations. What an idiot.
If that was true, the case probably wouldn’t have even made it this far…
@@mattjacks0n83 look it up, A Harvard law professor made that statement. Prove me wrong. This is being ramrodded thru by politically motivated hate-mongers of Trump.
Only two years? That seems really really short, especially considering the people involved...
Wrong, please stay stupid.
I know everybody wanna talk mess about porn stars, but Daniels has always been about her business and approached adult work as exactly that from Day One. Incredibly professional and smart.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love trump won MAGA 🇺🇸👍🔥💖
Fox News have admitted in court that they lied to their viewers about the 2020 election. They stated that the election was stolen even though they knew it wasn’t true, now they’re probably going to have to pay out billions to Dominion and Smartmatic! 🤣
@@mattjacks0n83 Exactly and thank you.
She is now in her 30s but she looks way older than that. Guess thsts what happens when u get ran through 😮
And trump still wanted to hit it. What does that say about his character?
Your obsession with looks is immature, ignorant.
Grow Up.
Our soul defines us,
Not our face.
She’s 44. Quite far from her “30s”.
Lol.... Are we talking literally, or figuratively????
She Was 27 In 2006 Your Math Is Way Off!
There must be consequences or where will the limit be. 🇺🇸
Bragg should be prosecuted for violating his oath of office. He's criminalized the D.A. office to go after political enemies, which of course is nothing new in New York City politics, but seldom is it so blatant and stupidly executed!
Exactly and thank you.
Trump is guilty as a point of fact, legal consequences are another matter.
No he isnt. You would have to prove intent. Which is beyond insane. Who is to say he didn’t pay her off to prevent his wife from finding out
@@RM-jb2bv No, I _don't_ have to prove intent and neither does SDNY DA, how Trump structured the payment was illegal and making that payment under election rules he was subject to at the time were broken, sheer fact. Trump is as guilty as sin and you're an ignoramus, congratulations.
Proof?
@@teo2157 The SDNY DA _has_ the proof, already. The facts in the case are beyond dispute. I don't have to come up with proof. You lying three time loser maga morons are idiots when it comes to politics and the law, fact. Actually, you don't know anything about history, either.
Evidence? I know leftists don't like evidence when they hate someone but we exist too

STORMY DANIELS THEME
(Gordon Lightfoot Sundown Parody - 1974)
I can see her lying back in her red silk dress
In a room where he did what he won't confess
Stormy, you better take care
If they find you been creepin 'round the White House stairs
Stormy, you better watch out
Yeah, the Secret Service guys will catch you no doubt.
She's been hookin' on the screen, makin' porn in between
And she don't always say what she really means
Stormy I think it's a game
When you took all his money and still you have no shame
Sometimes I think you're a snitch
When you promised not to tell and still had to scratch that itch
We can see every move that Trump could make
Getting caught up in your porn was his first mistake
Stormy, you better take care
If they find you been creepin' 'round the White House stairs
Sometimes the news will make more
Out of it than we really care
I can see you in the news with your hush payments
You're a porn star woman but who pays your rent
Sometimes I think it's not real
Can Trump get arrested for making the deal
Stormy, you better beware,
If they catch you creepin' 'round the White House stairs.
Sometimes I think it's surreal
I hope you destroyed the film on the reel
Stormy, you better be gone
Getting caught in the White House will do me more harm
Stormy, just you never mind
Biden's in the White House now, it's not my time
Sometimes I wish it weren't true
There's no red in the White House now, it's only blue.

WITCH HUNT.
Get that DA A PILL 💊
Michael Cohen went to jail in part because of his role in the Stormy Daniels hush money payment. Why should Cohen face justice but not the guy who actually had the affair and actually financed the payment? 🤔
Nope, Trump really broke the law, twice.
