Following Donald Trump’s conviction in Manhattan last week, Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer proclaimed, “The undeniable fact is Donald Trump went through the same legal process that all Americans go through, he was tried according to the facts and the law, and he was found guilty by a jury of his peers.”
Nothing could be further from the truth, and Schumer knows it because his brother’s law firm, branded the “Biden-Era N.Y. Power Center” by Bloomberg, spurred the indictment of the former president.
Sen. Schumer’s brother, Robert Schumer, is a partner in that law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton, and Garrison. As I detailed Monday, Paul, Weiss granted three highly paid attorneys leaves of absence to join the Manhattan district attorney’s office in its targeting of Donald Trump.

Good thing we don’t yet have the Anti-Talk about who’s really behind all these scumbags-Law, yet.
Before long we’ll all see the truth for what it is: The Communist Dual-Citizen, Dual-Loyalty Franfurt School Marxist Jews are out to destroy America from within.
Prove me wrong. They’re going to double down now that 9/11 and Epstein files are going to be declassified by Trump.
On the opposite side the Schumers of the world are drawing out the deeper hiddent Muslim Brother hood sleepers within the US Gov’t too, so a win for all as we purge the Cabal from Washington DC.
As I understand things:
1. Four payments of $35,000 each were made to pay for the services of lawyer Cohen and $130,000 ‘consideration’ for a non-disclosure legal agreement
2. These payments were correctly classified as and recorded as legal expenses
Ham sandwiches can not only be indicted, they can be convicted on 34 counts.
If any reasonable person could have described the four $35,000 payments as legal expenses then the recording of those as “legal expenses” did not violate the NY law.
With all that high price Schumer lawyering, why didn’t they find a crime? The trial was a cruel joke.
Is this one of the six, or is this number seven Chuck?
Democrats are one huge incestuous family.
The Schumer Crime Family is one of the Democrat Crime Families that control the leaders of both political parties.
The Clinton Crime Family, The Biden Crime Family, The Pelosi Crime Family, The Obama Crime Family, The Soros Crime Family
They commit crimes to enrich their crime families.
They exercise their power through the leaders of both political parties, The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate, unions, liberal cause organizations, the press, etc…
All to enrich their crime families.
Some of the Democrat Crime Families have fallen by the wayside.
The Kennedys, the Johnsons, etc…
Just wait... When Trump goes in on July 11th for sentencing the judge will say Trump has to turn into the court, all the money made since the verdict. He will say you can not financially benefit from a crime.
If Chuck is involved, Soros has both hands in this. Time to indict both of them.
Conflict of interests and tying his statements should be DA prosecution priority.
What were the other 30 payments???
BTW——STORMY STILL OWES TRUMP $300,000 +++ INTEREST
“STORMY STILL OWES TRUMP $300,000 +++ INTEREST”
And yet the arrogant Mexican judge let her testify against him.
Straight up trial, no bias.
Yea, yea...I know. He’s Colombian. It’s all the same gang.
Some Paul Weiss connections:

U.S. Sanctions Relating to Russia and Ukraine: Navigating the Current Landscape
December 20, 2017
U.S. economic sanctions relating to Russia and Ukraine have steadily evolved since their introduction in 2014 in response to Russia’s occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine. The Obama administration implemented three types of primary sanctions: (1) traditional blocking sanctions against specific individuals and entities, which have been listed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list (the “SDN List”); (2) an embargo against Crimea; and (3) “sectoral” sanctions prohibiting certain types of transactions with specific entities operating in particular sectors of the Russian economy, listed on OFAC’s Sectoral Sanctions Identification List (the “SSI List”).
Following the election of President Trump, it was predicted that his administration might rollback these sanctions. Instead, in response to Russia’s cyber activity and continued occupation of Crimea, President Trump signed new bipartisan legislation on August 2, 2017.[1] The “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act” (“CAATSA”) codified existing sanctions targeting Russia issued through Obama-era executive orders, strengthened and expanded sectoral sanctions, and threatened the imposition of secondary sanctions for various activities that lack any nexus with the United States.[2] Members of Congress continue to pressure the administration to accelerate its implementation of CAATSA.[3]
In light of the recent changes and increasing complexity in Russia/Ukraine-related sanctions, this memorandum provides an overview of the sanctions program as it exists today and outlines considerations for both U.S. and non-U.S. companies seeking to manage their sanctions risk.

Trump Administration Imposes New Sanctions on Russian Oligarchs and Government Officials
PUBLICATIONS
April 10, 2018
On April 6, 2018, the Trump administration imposed new sanctions on 7 Russian oligarchs, 12 companies they own or control, 17 Russian government officials, and a state-owned Russian weapons trading company and its subsidiary, a Russian bank. These specially designated national (“SDN”) designations came just over two months after the Treasury Department met its statutory obligation to provide Congress with a report (the “Report”) on Russian political figures and oligarchs as determined by their “closeness to the Russian regime and their net worth.”[1] The public portion of the Report identified 114 Russian senior political figures and 96 individuals characterized as Russian oligarchs meeting this criteria. The Report was “not a sanctions list”; however, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned at the time that “there will be sanctions that come out of this report.”[2]
Announcing the new sanctions, Secretary Mnuchin stated: “The Russian government operates for the disproportionate benefit of oligarchs and government elites. The Russian government engages in a range of malign activity around the globe, including continuing to occupy Crimea and instigate violence in eastern Ukraine, supplying the Assad regime with material and weaponry as they bomb their own civilians, attempting to subvert Western democracies, and malicious cyber activities. Russian oligarchs and elites who profit from this corrupt system will no longer be insulated from the consequences of their government’s destabilizing activities.”[3]
The designations were made pursuant to Obama-era Executive Orders 13661, 13662, and 13582, as well as authorities codified by the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (“CAATSA”). In conjunction with the designations on April 6, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) issued guidance and two general licenses to minimize immediate disruptions.
Below, we summarize Treasury’s actions and their implications. As Treasury cautioned, not only are transactions with a U.S. nexus involving these newly designated parties generally prohibited, but non-U.S. persons also face the risk of secondary sanctions for knowingly facilitating significant transactions with these parties even without a U.S. nexus.
