READ: Trump indictment and statement of facts
The Hill ^

Posted on 04/04/2023 1:32:24 PM PDT by FarCenter

The statement of facts is more informative than the indictment.

If Trump had simply written Daniels a check for $130K from his personal funds there would be no case.

But that's not how the payment was made.

Does Trump actually pay each of his employees?

Laughable...

When Neil Cavuto says this is a weak nothing burger, it’s pretty weak.

A personal check to pay for a non-disclosure agreement or a contract not to discuss something?

How does that work? Should you put “Hush Money for Stormy” right on the “FOR:” like too?

I really wonder how many people actually pay hush money with personal checks!

The statement of facts is ludicrous on its face. Since when is paying money to hide information about himself a crime?

Under this standard, Hillary Clinton could be prosecuted for coloring her hair and buying baggy clothing to hide her fat @ss.

Every attorney with a brain is saying this is a poorly written weak case and should be thrown out.

One of the features of banking is that an individual may have multiple addresses to which the records for their various accounts are sent.

Banks know not to send the statements of the account used to pay for the mistress’ apartment to the client’s home address.

Facts and truth are irrelevant. Their only mission is to have Trump on TV, in court, when the primaries are going on. That’s the whole purpose of this.

24. Shortly after being elected President, the Defendant arranged to reimburse Lawyer A for the payoff he made on the Defendant’s behalf. In or around January 2017, the TO CFO and Lawyer A met to discuss how Lawyer A would be reimbursed for the money he paid to ensure Woman 2’s silence. The TO CFO asked Lawyer A to bring a copy of a bank statement for the Essential Consultants account showing the $130,000 payment.

25. The TO CFO and Lawyer A agreed to a total repayment amount of $420,000. They reached that figure by adding the $130,000 payment to a $50,000 payment for another expense for which Lawyer A also claimed reimbursement, for a total of $180,000. The TO CFO then doubled that amount to $360,000 so that Lawyer A could characterize the payment as income on his tax returns, instead of a reimbursement, and Lawyer A would be left with $180,000 after paying approximately 50% in income taxes. Finally, the TO CFO added an additional $60,000 as a supplemental year-end bonus. Together, these amounts totaled $420,000. The TO CFO memorialized these calculations in handwritten notes on the copy of the bank statement that Lawyer A had provided.

26. The Defendant, the TO CFO, and Lawyer A then agreed that Lawyer A would be paid the $420,000 through twelve monthly payments of $35,000 over the course of 2017. Each month, Lawyer A was to send an invoice to the Defendant through Trump Organization employees, falsely requesting payment of $35,000 for legal services rendered in a given month of 2017 pursuant to a retainer agreement. At no point did Lawyer A have a retainer agreement with the Defendant or the Trump Organization.

27. In early February 2017, the Defendant and Lawyer A met in the Oval Office at the White House and confirmed this repayment arrangement.

The MSM is having wet dreams of Trump going to jail for 174 years for a process crime. You could commit mass murder in New York City and serve less time with Bragg prosecuting.
