"For the purposes of influencing any federal election." Those words are significant in the current EO forum discussion. Looking deeper into it, I came across this piece. The title states the author's view on this matter. Michael Cohen Plead Guilty to Something That's Not a Crime I find the...

1. Regarding the two campaign finance crimes, the court finding that these were actual crimes (felonies) committed for the purpose of influencing the election rest on more than than Cohen's statements alone. There is the tape recording between Trump and Cohen of the two discussing specific...

Both are bad acts as far as I'm concerned.

I saw the CNN report but it does not pertain to the original question I asked of you. You put up a photo of a tweet regarding Schiff that is (so far at least) unsubstianted. The CNN report does not pertain because it makes no mention of Schiff and in no way substantiates the photo in question. I...

My Google search produced the link you shared here. The Tweet you shared is about a sexual harassment settlement in 2013. The Rumors and Facts piece you shared is about an invitation said to be made by Shiff to a woman in Romania in 1992 and was declined by the woman. The CNN article you shared...

Wanting to learn more, I Googled "adam schiff sexual harassment settlement" but found little. The Twitter post you shared here seems to have disappeared. Can you share more details about the settlement? When and where was the settlement made? Have you been duped by fake news? Are you trying to...

Before my posts of the last few days, it has been months since I participated here. That's because I have a business to run and nothing substantial developed regarding my impeachment prediction. Mueller investigated, Trump tweeted, the talking heads filled the air waves; but no real news broke...

Fox News contributor and former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy: "Why Trump is Likely to be Indicted by Manhattan US Attorney" Excerpt: "The major takeaway from the 40-page sentencing memorandum filed by federal prosecutors Friday for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal...

You may be right. Time will tell.

You are correct. Cohen was not convicted. He admitted he was guilty of the crimes. They are crimes just the same. Courts do not let people plead guilty to things that are not crimes. The prosecutors, defendant and the Court all agreed that the items in question were actual crimes. If someone...

As I stated above, Turtle makes a good point with these words. That said, it is worth noting that the election law violations ARE findings of fact determined in a court of law, after both sides had the opportunity to present their best cases. Cohen has admitted to these CRIMES (not...

And evidence, which will be combined with the items you mention for the court's or Senate's consideration at trial, where both sides will have their best lawyers making their case. You make a good point in distinguishing between a prosecutor's findings and a court's findings. So far, the...

The rule you cite refers to campaign funds used in an improper way. That is not what happened in the Trump/Daniels and Trump/McDougal cases. Those are cases where funds from outside the campaign were used for the benefit of a campaign and not reported. An example of someone violating the...

The above comments about the law are as far as I am going to go in the discussion. None of us know exactly what evidence the SDNY prosecutors have regarding Trump and the Daniels and McDougal payments. We do know from the Cohen sentencing document that they are confident enough to implicate...

I'm not a lawyer who is "learned in the law" and neither are you. But I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express and I have served as the treasurer of various political campaigns and committees. In that service, I developed an understanding of campaign finance law that is above that of the average...

You confuse me, Turtle. Yes it is illegal to posess a firearm during the commission of a felony. I made that very point, did I not?

I'm not interested in litigating the case in this forum. I prefer to watch the case itself proceed through the justice system and note the points made by the attorneys for each side and the rulings of the court when it gets that far. At present, regarding Trump himself, it is an item of profound...

It is not illegal to pay money to someone to keep something secret or to direct one's attorney to do so. In the Daniels case, Trump directed his attorney Cohen to pay money to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about the affair she had with Trump. There is nothing illegal about that nondisclosure...

With all 2018 federal elections now certified (except NC Dist. 9) and with recent legal developments, additional facts have emerged that support my belief, previously stated in this forum, that the Republicans who have the power to do so will vote to impeach Trump. 1. In the election, the...

If you credited Trump with bringing one million jobs to the US with the Alibaba deal, you now must credit him with blowing that deal with his tariffs. Story here.
