illegally legal?

 Russian and China are having a meeting. The nation's financial system is in danger of collapse. North Korea is firing missile saying they are practicing attacking South Korea. The president is saying the United States will not honor any agreements made between China and Russia in regard to the Ukraine. The message is basically, we would rather have a war. The influx of illegals across our southern border increases every day. Fentanyl is killing hundreds of people across the country, being transported by these illegals. Our major cities are in disarray with crime running rampant. The pandemic is "over" but we are supposed to be testing for covid twice a week. The response to all of this? Arrest Trump. That's pretty much the plan. 

 The case is pretty much she said, he said and I said. She said she had an affair with Trump and went to the National Enquire with the story. The Enquirer put her in touch with Trumps lawyer who agreed to pay her 130,000 dollars to be quiet. She agreed. Then the lawyer was paid back in monthly payments as it was his money used to make the initial payment. No charges against him as it isn't illegal to pay hush money. But he spilled the beans for whatever reason and told. Now those monthly payments are what is in question. Trump says they were legal fees, and the lawyer says he was paying back a loan. But it is all a very risky business and could backfire on the Democrats. There big witness is disgraced attorney Cohen. The big obstacle is proving that any of this had anything to do with campaign finances. That is the only potential crime here. It is a felony to commit a crime while trying to cover up another crime. 

 The bottom line here is this whole charade is a political ploy. It is meant to distract the general public from more serious issues facing this administration. No one, not even the staunchest of democrats believes Joe Biden could serve another term. But they have hitched their proverbial wagon to him. The only way he could win is by eliminating the competition before the contest. The plan is to create enough hate and division in the electorate that the Republicans can't field a viable candidate. 

 Well, we will all just have to wait and see how this all plays out. It will certainly provide apple fodder for the all the media outlets and pundits. Should be a regular circus. He said, I said, she said, and the payments were made, but they weren't illegal. He was simply paying back a friend. Cohen paid Daniels 130,000 dollars to remain quiet. An agreement was made. The agreement itself wasn't anything illegal. The paying of the money wasn't illegal. The only thing alleged to be illegal is that campaign money was used to make the payments to Cohen. It's my thinking that is going to be a very difficult thing to prove. No one is denying the money was paid. Proving where that money came from, Trumps personal finances or campaign funds is the problem. No doubt in my mind that Donald trump knew all of this and more. Perhaps he did use campaign funds to pay back Cohen I don't know. Thing is, I don't think there is going to be any way to prove where it came from beyond a shadow of a doubt. And that is the criteria, isn't it?   Beyond a doubt. The big witness is Michael Cohen. Is he credible? Michael Cohen reached a plea deal with prosecutors. He made a plea deal after months of bargaining. He pled guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a bank, one count of making an unlawful corporate contribution and one count of making an illegal campaign contribution. He did so to avoid years of incarceration. He got three years. He was released a little over a year later. I wonder if he has made another deal in this case?  A chance at redemption perhaps? Maybe a pardon from the President! Stranger things have happened. Or maybe Cohen will just get a monthly payment you know, paying back a debt.
