OFFICIAL: Donald Trump thread.

[1bad65]

You keep saying this but the collusion investigation is still ongoing. Mueller not releasing information doesn't mean he hasn't found anything as you keep posting.

Ongoing, but we've seen no evidence.

And let's be real, we always see evidence coming out during investigations. But not this time. Gee, I wonder why.

Plus, look at the indictments.

They got Flynn for lying to the FBI, but even the FBI says he didn't lie. Hmmm....

Then we have indictments for like money laundering. Plus, some trolls got indicted for trolling (which I guess is illegal).

But nothing about collusion. Or espionage. Or anything of the sort.

What's really interesting is the only collusion we know of during the campaign was the Hillary campaign and the DNC paying Russian sources for Trump dirt.

The FBI raid on Cohen's office wasn't on Mueller's instruction. Federal prosecutors secured the search warrant with the help of special counsel Robert Mueller, not on his behalf.

I covered that.

You still didn't answer the question.

Ask it again, please.

You're obfuscating. When that happens, relevant parts often get lost.

(Another reason I call out obfuscation so much, but that's another day, another time.)

[Motorcity Cobra]

And????

Again, not a crime.

Does Trump have egg on his face? Yes.

Does Trump have some explaining to do with the wife? Yes.

Did Trump commit a crime? Nope.

I don't know if he has committed a crime or not. Neither do you. Giuliani made a mistake. Hannity tried to get him to correct the mistake in real time. he didn't.

Trump had to issue a corrected statement because White House counsel and other lawyers that have Trump's ear told him the details of the payment, and whether and when Trump knew about it, have important legal implications and could be a violation of campaign finance law.

You and other Trump supporters don't care that it might be a violation. Cool. We get that.

Rudy digs an even deeper hole this morning linking the money back to the campaign

Giuliani makes a link back to the campaign:

GIULIANI: ...Imagine if that came out on Oct. 15, 2016, in the middle of the last debate with Hillary Clinton?
Q: So to make it go away, they made this deal?
GIULIANI: Cohen didn't even ask. Cohen made it go away. He didn't even ask.

Cohen didn't "give" the money to Daniels.

He was reimbursed the money by Trump, from his personal wealth.

Come on guys, try and keep up.

[1bad65]

Interestingly enough, it appears Trump paying back the money assures it's legal.

It's Trump's money, so no one "gave" him any money to pay off Daniels.

[Motorcity Cobra]

He didn't "give" the money to Daniels.

He was reimbursed the money by Trump, from his personal wealth.

Come on guys, try and keep up.

This is a statute specifically dealing with Trump and Giuliani claimed to have done.

[The Big Dunn]

Will Giuliani even get cleared to be in the room should Mueller subpoena Trump?

Remember Giuliani was up for Secretary of State but withdrew his name because Team Trump worried he couldn't get confirmed because there were questions about potential conflicts raised by the work his consulting business did on behalf of foreign governments.

[1bad65]

This is a statute specifically dealing with Trump and Giuliani claimed to have done.

Yes, I addressed that.

Again, Cohen didn't "give" money to Daniels. He was reimbursed by Trump from Trump's personal wealth.

You still are not keeping up.

What the White House has said about the Stormy Daniels payoff

[Motorcity Cobra]

Yes, I addressed that.

Again, Cohen didn't "give" money to Daniels. He was reimbursed by Trump from Trump's personal wealth.

You still are not keeping up.

That statue explains what can't be considered personal money when it comes to campaigns.

If any person, including a relative or friend of the candidate, gives or loans the candidate money “for the purpose of influencing any election for federal office,” the funds are not considered personal funds of the candidate even if they are given to the candidate directly. Instead, the gift or loan is considered a contribution from the donor to the campaign, subject to the per-election limit and reportable by the campaign. This is true even if the candidate uses the funds for personal living expenses while campaigning.

Cohen paid Daniels to keep quiet just days before the election as Giuliani stated because they didn't want her story influencing the election. It doesn't matter if Trump repaid him thru his personal funds. That's not considered personal funds according to the FEC.
