Trump’s campaign did not make payments to Cohen. That’s clearly spelled out in the indictment. So it’s not declared as a campaign donation or expense. It cannot even be misconstrued as a campaign expense give the nature of the expense.
The entry into the general ledger more that likely is legal expenses. There may or may not be some more granularity to that, such as legal expenses on a per-project basis, but there is no law or accounting standard that requires greater granularity. Their maybe some legal expenses that are and are not tax deductible. That would be tracked in Trump’s accounting software. But there’s no tax related accounting error associated with this. Trump over paid his taxes in NY. So-called leftist legal experts have even suggested that overpaying taxes was illegal. That’s just plain stupid. These asswipes will say and do anything to get Trump.
I keep scratching my head over the hideousness of the indictment. There’s a side of me waiting for a hammer to fall, something that would actually make sense. The other side of me is just chalking this up as incoherent ramblings of a fat, stupid-chit negro.
he paid his attorney...he got a bill and paid it. if anyplace the purpose should be in cohen’s billing invoice. was he on a retainer??
