No, this is the one where his lawyer Cohen had a trap and kill scam with Stormy Daniels. On his own, Cohen “found” and took care of the Stormy Daniels accusation just before the election.
He took out a loan against his house and paid her the 130,000. So then he goes to Trump and brags that he had this situation and paid for it himself in return for an NDA, and then he put in for reimbursement.

It was supposed to make Cohen look like a happening guy and get him a job in his administration. Trump paid him back in a series of payments to him and they were labeled “Legal expenses”. No crime whatsoever.

It was referred to the FEC as a fraudulent campaign expense. The FEC declined and said there was no campaign finance nexus at all.

So New York State prosecutes it as a fraudulent business record! But first they had to change a law. A fraudulent record is only a problem if it is used to further a crime. So NY state decided that no matter what the FEC said, it was a campaign finance violation. That’s the nutshell of the “34 felonies” case.

It was a sham but it was over $130,000 bucks.

NOTHING. PEANUTS.

But now Dems are saying 1% of our budget for USAID is chump change. !!!

Taxpayers are extremely mad = rocket fuel for Musk to keep going.

If we can get convictions on the couple of million scammers getting Social Security money, etc. = flip a few states red.
