I’d like to see the PROOF that this money went from Cohen to Daniels as I believe Cohen was shaking DJT down and probably in cahoots with her.
Not a single bit of this matters. It’s all politics.
The whole case is ridiculous. Even the highly partisan Cy Vance, Jr., passed on the case. But Judge Merchan will explain to the jurors why they should convict. There may be Democrat activists in the jury who will pressure any undecideds (if there are any) to give in and vote with the rest.
“involving or affecting disposition or settlement:
a dispositive clue in a case of embezzlement.”
You must listen to Dan Bongino, he uses it often and often incorrectly.
The word is rather nebulous in meaning and usage.
The entry was accurate.
And I assume Trump didn’t make the entry.
The State of New York has no authority to enforce federal election laws, that is the prerogative of the FEC. The FEC did not find any violation of the law or choose to litigate. An NDA doesn’t violate election law. The whole legal theory behind this prosecution is moot.
Everyone with half a brain knows this is complete garbage and believe me the vast majority of voters know this is garbage. It is my hope that the result of this lawfare is the conversion of New York to a red state.
Let me see if I understand this.
If Trump paid Cohen for legal services and booked it as a "legal expense," and then Cohen passed on the money to his landlord for his monthly rent expense, then Trump was supposed to record the payment to Cohen as "rent expense?"
What if Trump had put "loan repayment" in the memo field instead? Would that have gotten him a pass?

I assume the porn star signed the NDA, which would make payment for signing a legal document a legal expense.
Next the objective here is not to try Trump for a real crime, the objective is to get Trump in a court case where he is kept off of the campaign trail, has to spend his personal money to defend himself. This is being done to get the expected verdict returned so that he can be sentenced to jail time
What was written in the the ledger book as to what the payment was for, wouldn't have changed anything. It was in fact a bill from his lawyer, that Trump paid, not personally, but his accountant paid and documented the payment in the ledger book as the lawyer payment it was.
Trump will never spend any real time in jail, if any, because the case is so riddled with flaws, that there is no way it isn't accepted on appeal.
It's the optics that the Democrats want in order to then use to proclaim Trump a convicted criminal.
But this whole lawfare strategy is exploding on their faces, as all 4 are facing serious issues, and people who were against Trump are coming over to support Trump, because they can relate to the railroad job of the injustice system.
