It was his decision to hide it in an illegal way. And the assertion that he was protecting his family doesn't pass the smell test. This is the guy that cheated on wife number 1 with eventual wife number 2. He also used to call news outlets pretending to be a friend of Trump and brag about women he supposedly was dating. This is the man that made the 'grab them by the p*ssy brag' despite having a family. This was all about avoiding a scandal during an election.

But he got greedy. If he had paid with his own funds and not tried to take a business deduction, there would be ZERO crimes at the state or federal level. But Trump being Trump, he grifted himself into crimes at both levels.

THERE WAS NO HIDING IN A ILLEGAL WAY!!!!
Trump paid hush money to Stormy Daniels because it was just too embarrassing to have it exposed to his family. Nothing more. Nothing less. Michael Cohen knew exactly what to do and he screwed up badly. When will you TDS maggots ever get it?

Trump got set up by his lawyer and all the socialist, communist, radical left wing Soros backed DAs including Alvin Bragg. I hope this socialist loser doesn’t kill himself after having been sued back to scrubbing toilets in Tijuana for pennies.

Posts like this prove that right wingers are sourcing their info from the right wing ecosystem. Nobody is asking to source from left wing sources. Instead, all they would need to do is read the freekin report to know that Trump's story about protecting Melanie or hiding family embarrassment is entirely debunked by facts and receipts. But they won't.

How can someone be so gullible to buy into that Trump BS that his family believed him to be a man of integrity and morality and he did not want the truth to come out?

It reminds me of a comment I heard from a relative shortly after Trump took office. She believed that Melanie was going to be a finest first lady that would easily surpass Jacki O with class and dignity because she was so beautiful and they made such a perfect couple. These people are completely oblivious to the reality of who Trump and family are and will allow nothing to penetrate that belief system.

Fetterman's claim that trump was just protecting his family is total BS.

The indictment shows that trump told cohen to stall Stormy until after the election, when trump wouldn't care if Stormy told the world about the affair. Meaning trump didn't care if his wife and kids knew of the affair.

POINTS
Former President Donald Trump wanted to avoid paying $130,000 in hush money to a porn star by delaying that payment until after the 2016 presidential election, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg alleged.
Trump told his then-lawyer that if they could hold off on the transaction, then they wouldn’t have to pay at all, because “at that point it would not matter if the story became public,” according to Bragg.

You spending every waking moment loathing the scary orange man doesn't make the case strong either.

Pundits, analysts, and legal experts on the left and right have said that the case is garbage.

You have no idea what the facts are you just know how you feel.

I'd like you to show me where anybody not on the far right is saying "the case is garbage." You can say it isn't as serious, as you know, obstructing an FBI investigation or trying to overturn an election or inciting an insurrection. You can say that getting these charges to rise to felonies looks like a stretch. But, it isn't a garbage case. The evidence of wrong doing it pretty clear to the unbiased.

And the orange man has proven multiple times he is a direct threat to democracy in this country. Him facing the consequences of his actions is vital. And I'm sick and tired of him giving a voice to people who don't deserve to be heard. Passing off your opinions as fact is beyond frustrating and it makes even having a conversation with folks like you next to impossible.
