The “hush money” case in New York City is perhaps the stupidest of the Lawfare cases launched against President Trump. The premise is that President Trump tried to “influence the 2016 election” by paying people not to besmirch his reputation with negative stories about him. This is the basis of the “hush money” claim by state prosecutors.

The Federal Election Commission reviewed the details and found no merit to the claims of illegality, but the state of New York twisted the legal interpretation of “honest services” to make a claim that President Trump paid his attorney Michael Cohen and labeled the payments “legal services.” The state case is dependent on a logical fallacy that paying your attorney and designating the payment as ‘legal services’ is a fraudulent business practice. It really is nonsense Lawfare.

President Trump delivered remarks to the media after the first day of trial where his defense team said to the jury, “use your common sense. We’re New Yorkers, It’s why we’re all here.” WATCH:

They’re still paying it to Ukraine with BongoBiden bucks disguised as foreign aid…

Several years ago, a scandal broke about a House Member and one of his staff. It was disclosed The House had a "slush fund" to pay-off complainants. Marco Rubio was a guest on FOX, Tucker's show as I recall, and he was asked about this House Slush Fund and he admitted it had existed for years and was financed with taxpayer dollars.

Rubio was then asked if the Senate had a similar Slush Fund. His response went something like this:

Well gee, I dunno.

Well, maybe.

Well probably.

Well ya, I think so.


Rubio was squirming like a whore in church, sweating bullets.

Then the topic was changed.

No Joke.

Sad thing is the fix is in, corrupt prosecutors, corrupt judges, NY City jury. The case is a sham and They already found him guilty.


Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

This ^^^^

And make no mistake about it, he will be found guilty & he will go to jail................judge already said he would be jailed, to await an appeal

The only chance of that not happening is if there is at least one juror who will not go along, but as much as Trump is disliked in NY, that is very highly unlikely to happen.

And he faces the same scenario in GA.

He will never set foot in the WH again.

The dummycraps are in a no win situation- - - - -convict Trump and jail him, and they kick off the second American Revolution- - - -which they'll lose. Acquit him and he gets elected, and he unleashes armageddon on his tormentors. Either way, they come out on the short and stinky end of the stick. The tricky part of grabbing a tiger by the tail is figuring out how to let go!

Wherever they choose to stash him- - - -they need to name the building "The Bastille". That little dustup the French had on July 14, 1789 will look like a minor skirmish by comparison. If they think January 6th. was an insurrection- - - - -"Hold My Beer!" Lock and load!

Yep it's obvious when you hit him for what 83m then turn around and try and hit him for 454M plus. Not counting all his attorney fees. It's political and election interference if Trump would have walked away and not run for President don't believe this would be happening.

Yah election interference, when the so called payoff occurred in 2017, as I recall Trump was elected in 16. Bill Clinton paid off Paula Jones, while president, and no criminal or impeachment charges filed. Two tier system, maybe!!!!

Much as the country needs a cleansing, that won't happen no matter what they do to DJT.

Nothing at all will happen; we allowed the country to be usurped right in front of our noses, & that will just continue.

Complacency is the order of the day.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
