Can someone explain who got hurt by Trump's "crime"? - Politics Discussion

[–] joej2923 (3149) 2 years ago

I don't believe the full charges have been revealed so this could be pure speculation.

If Trump falsified business records, taxpayers would be hurt by him not paying his fair share of his tax obligations. If Trump paid for this money with campaign funds, donors would be hurt since the money would not have been used for its intended purpose.

I believe Stormy Daniels would only be guilty of a crime if she did not report the payment as income. Playboy model Karen McDougal was also paid off by the National Inquirer but the funds may have come from Trump's campaign or business.

You mean the misdemeanor elevated to felony because they are terrified of him running again?

The first flaw in this post is the title. Has Trump actually committed a real crime here? Because it just seems like any charges are being "trumped up".

There was no crime.

When do we investigate the 150 billion and counting of hush money going to Ukraine?

His wife, for one
The American people, who were defrauded of the right to know the truth.

BTW, it was not illegal for the porn star that Trump slept with and paid off to accept that payment. It wasn't illegal for Trump to pay off the porn star he slept with.

It was illegal for him to submit falsified business records regarding the payment of the porn star he slept with and for him to not report his payment to the pornstar she slept with a campaign contribution.

His business records arent public records. Lots of people have things they like to keep private.

If everybody has a right to know everything about everyone that means we should all have tattoos on our faces of what OnlyFans accounts we have subscribed to?

But you dont agree cause this "honesty" thing only applies to a man you're insanely obsessed with and your whole sad so-called life revolves around.

FEC filings are public
There are business records that have to be filled with tax authorities. If he misrepresented business expenses, that's an issue.

But hold tight, we'll soon hear what the charges actually are.

Democracy itself. The entire country.

Campaign finance laws exist for a reason. Trump was stealing money to pay hush money to his mistress. It's not how democracy is supposed to work.

"Campaign finance laws exist for a reason. "

Public relations is part of his campaign. You're a total dork and you're one of the 60-65 million who were sad and dreary enough to actually vote for President Freakshow. So no sane person would listen to you

Paying off a porn woman to cover up cheating on his wife is not a legitimate campaign expense. Rationalizing it as "public relations" doesn't change that, fool.

"Cheating on wife"

So you want America to be a theocracy based on biblical commandments?

There was no crime.

NDAs are legal and used 1000s of times a day. Hence why the Department of Justice never indicted Trump after they investigated this matter for years.

Any questions?

The department of Justice didn't indict Trump because the Attorney General made a political and corrupt decision to stop any investigation. At the same time, the DOJ'S SDNY told the Manhattan prosecutor to stop investigating because they were handling. They handled it like they were the National Enquirer doing "catch and kill" for Trump.
