Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Trump's friend Bibi appears to be up to his neck in hot water. He is going to be indicted for bribery and fraud. I wonder how long it'll be before he accuses the Globalist Deep State of setting him up and asks Likudniks to investigate the secret liberal society formerly known as the Israeli Police.

Maybe he can get Alan Dershowitz to defend him? I mean did help defend O.J., and Claus von Bulow, and pedophile David Epstein (not to mention Dershowitz himself being accused of sex with a minor), and he defends Trump in the "court of public opinion", and he's definitely defended Bibi's war crimes before, so.....yeah, Dershowitz will step up for him. Right wingers love him now (right, Old S.O.B. ?)

Didn't right wingers used to hate lawyers, especially ones that defend killers and sex offenders? Oh, right, the Trump effect: What or who once was bad or evil, is now good, if it/he is on the Trump Train. Got it.

Top intelligence officials are already warning Russia is working to sway the midterm elections. But since Trump said they were democratic hacks they can’t be trusted. Let’s trust Trump and Putin.

I always trust Trump. As Evangelicals like to say now: In TRUMP We Trust!

More bad news for Trumpers... Cohen is claiming he paid the $130,000 out of his own pocket to Stormy Daniels. He's probably lying, as why would he pay for it himself. Either way, not good news for Trump and his followers. Bigger news will be dropping soon. A 'storm' is brewing.

LOL . . . he probably did pay the $130k himself, BUT it comes out of money he is earning for defending/advising Trump. And that money magically doesn't come from Trump . . . rather it comes from donations made to the Republican National Committee and other such places; Trump is using other people's money to make the payoffs.

And even more bad news for trumpers...

More irrelevant news. We already know Trump has the authority to repeal an executive order, that's not up for debate.

Boy this is on terribly weak legal grounds. If trump pays Stormy out of his campaign money it's illegal. But trump pays Cohen to legally defend him. Cohen says he pays Stormy out of his own money to protect Trump. But Cohen received money to protect Trump from the campaign.

This is a form of deceitful money laundering.

Even the Trump people have to admit that this is illegal. It reminds me of when trump's lawyer claims he wrote the tweet incriminating trump on Trump's account not trump.

I guess if you support Trump you are being tested. Just how low will trump have to go before you start gagging on the stench?

That one is super-interesting from a legal standpoint.

The godless Trump tweeted something incriminating. He said that he knew that Flynn lied to the FBI BEFORE he was fired. Therefore, asking Comey to go easy on Flynn was clearly obstruction of justice because he knew Flynn committed a crime.

That's why Trump's lawyer stepped in to claim that it was he who actually authored the tweet.

So let's say this ended up in court and the case hinged on who actually authored this incriminating tweet.

The legal question is, "Would it matter who authored the tweet?" After all, it passed through the twitter account of the godless Trump. Is a person legally responsible for pronouncements made in one's own name?

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?

No they don't. Or at least won't.

Trump can do no wrong.

He could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue ...

Doing great, thanks! Nothing better than a yin/yang day like this: Valentine's Day *and* Ash Wednesday.

...To be followed, in due course, by having April Fools' Day and Easter on the same day. How poetically apt!

Awesome huh. His lawyer, out of the goodness of his heart, pays a pornstar who he never slept with 130k so she doesn’t talk about his beloved client publicly. All out of loyalty for his friend. So he’s not denying it’s hush money but supposedly it’s he who wanted her quiet. There. Is. No. Fvcking. Way.

Hey trumpkins, if you want to swallow that one do it openly and proudly - but please do not try to defend or justify. The scumbag Trump was banging a pornstar right after his wife gave birth. What an honorable man. What I don’t understand is why even bother trying to cover it up. I guess there are the millions of dupes who somehow think he’s a good guy.

Do we REALLY have Democrats lecturing us about Presidential infidelity? Really?

Bill Clinton was using cigars a sex prop in the Oval Office, and regularly used his position of power to take advantage of women... and Democrats told us "it's just sex, nothing to worry about". No one, and I mean no one, needs to listen to Democrats on this issue.

Do you REALLY think cheating on your spouse is OK because both parties do it?

Do you really think you have any moral authority to judge anyone on this?

Long before Clinton, Democrats decided that moral corruption was not a deal breaker for their politicians. OK, fine. Republicans held their politicians to a very high standard and we got beat because we were constantly pulling our best players off the field due to moral infractions.

Now Republicans have decided that moral corruption is not a deal breaker for our politicians... and Democrats are telling us we have a problem!

Hint: We are not going to listen to you. The days of Republicans holding their candidates to a higher standard than Democrat candidates are GONE. You won't win that way any more.

We are playing by your rules and beating you at your own game, so suck it up butter-cup. Quit whining and get back in the game.

This is about money laundering and using campaign funds to pay hush money to a porn star to keep quiet about an ongoing affair.

Money comes into Trump's campaign through donations.

Money makes it to Trump's lawyer.

Trump's lawyer pays over $100K to porn star to protect his client, Donald Trump.

Since money is fungible there is no way to tell if the lawyer used income he received from other clients to pay off the porn star or if he used income paid by Trump to pay off the pron star.

But he did pay the porn star to help Trump.

And Trump does pay the lawyer money.

Trump also has access to direct campaign funds to go to many sources.

This is seriously scandalous. And potentially illegal. And surely scummy and unethical.

No one believes that the lawyer donated his own money without being directed by Trump or at least having an arrangement with him.
