Great point! There appears to be millions of defect records at SSA!
Trump didn’t make a bookkeeping error either. The payments were described as a legal expense which is in the ballpark of what they were, if Stormy threatened any legal action or if lawyers were involved. Trump could have called them “legal settlement” which would be more accurate, and no one would ever have known what the “legal settlement” was about. No private citizen could have forced anyone to reveal the details of the “legal settlement”, just like 50,000 NGOs don’t have to report what they do with the trillion dollars they get from the taxpayers. So obviously calling it a “legal expense” instead of “legal settlement” was not intended to deceive, because there was no reason to deceive anyone about the fact that it was a legal settlement. Could have been a slip and fall at one of Trump’s hotels. Letitia James would not have been happy if Trump had said the expenses were “hush money to a porn star I had anal sex with in Las Vegas on 4-5-2005 while wearing a dildo”
