Michael Cohen claimed he was not reimbursed by Donald Trump or his organization for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels in a 2018 letter to federal authorities, contradicting his recent grand jury testimony, The bombshell document, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, could throw a wrench in the works of prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against Trump over the payments. Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and the star witness in the case over which Trump reportedly faces imminent arrest, claims that Trump got him to pay $130,000 to Daniels to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with the real estate mogul, just days before the 2016 presidential election.

Sounds to me like Cohen acted on his own initiative regarding this money then informed Trump what a disastrous decision he made. No wonder Trump wouldn't give him any kind of reimbursement. Cohen probably did it himself without Trump's approval. This just doesn't sound like something Trump would have thought up.

Oftentimes close lieutenants don't need orders to do the general's bidding. They just know, and do it, and there is no record of any approval while denial is the truth. Of course, it is likely candidate Trump said nothing about paying her off. Cohen was his lawyer of some length of time...he knew what needed to be done. As a lawyer he knew how to do it without the boss's involvement, especially with a Presidential campaign at hand. Why do the rich pay little income tax? becasue they live off the largess of their businesses. Who owns Trump's plane? Hint: It's not Donald John Trump. And who flies in it like he owns it? As is said, the rich are different. They're not cashing paychecks. It's not about convicting Trump, but indicting and trying him for some sordid nonsense as a run-up to the '24 primary season. Funny thing is that FPDT turned this on its ear and is benefiting in a number of ways. No matter which way the DA turns, indict and arrest, or not, he's headed to a butt-whipping. Lawfare is becoming Laffare.

Cohen has no clue what the truth is. But he told his lawyer, Costello, that he paid Stormy Daniels out of his own money, not 45's money, campaign $$$ nor spending $$$ nor petty cash $$$ nor any of 45's $$$. Costello told the Grand Jury the same thing. Alvin-Sharpton-Wannabe-Bragg's prime witness is Cohen. ASWB is up legal shites creek w/o a paddle.

#1 The letter was written by Cohen's lawyer on behalf of Cohen to the FEC (Federal Elections Commission). Lawyers do not lie for their clients. So it's the same as if Cohen wrote the letter. If Cohen lied about anything in that letter then Cohen committed a felony.

It sounds like the story that is emerging is that Cohen took it upon himself to pay Daniels out of his own funds, and when he sought reimbursement from Trump, Trump said "I ain't payin' that. I never told you to pay that." and refused to pay him back. Thus, hell's fury from a slighted fixer.

They cannot prove that PJT and Stormy even had an affair. They cannot prove that PJT told Cohen to pay Stormy off. They cannot prove that the money Cohen used to pay Stormy came from Trump campaign funds or Trump himself. They cannot prove that, as PJT's tax records show, the money paid to Cohen was not actually for miscellaneous lawyer services. They cannot prove that a crime been committed. If a crime was actually committed, the statute of limitations has run out. This is merely what I think. Please let me know if I am wrong. If it turns out that this Grand Jury decides to indict over nothing, this DA should be publically ridiculed, disbarred, impeached, and thrown out of office for malpractice as well as for wasting everyone’s time and money.

The return of Russians Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin, and NASA’s Frank Rubio was delayed after the Soyuz capsule they planned to ride in developed a coolant leak while docked to the space station. An empty Soyuz was sent to the station in late February to serve as a rescue capsule. The three-person replacement crew that was originally scheduled to be aboard that capsule is now set to

BEIRUT— A strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six other Americans in northeast Syria, and U.S. forces retaliated with airstrikes on sites in Syria used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the Pentagon said. Activists said the U.S. bombing killed at least four people. On Friday night, two Syrian opposition activist groups reported a new wave of airstrikes on eastern Syria that hit positions of Iran-backed militias after rockets were fired at a Conoco gas plant that has a base housing American troops. It was not immediately clear if U.S. warplanes carried out the attack. While it’s not the first time

Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide. The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.
