You're right. The actual quote is worse. He said when you're a star you can do ANYTHING. Grab them by the pussy. Do Anything.

So how do you think he came to that conclusion, guessing? Or do you think he has seen and done a lot (likely more than just grabbing them) and concluded they will let him do "anything".
You'r projecting again.

It's not what he paid.... it's how he had it posted. If he gave money to the lawyer for "services rendered" the tax burden is on the lawyer. But he included the payoff under the "services" and that is where the tax issue happened. If he somehow figured out how to pay the tax liabilities and kept it quiet... we wouldn't be having this discussion. It was a bookkeeping error. He did not withhold the "payoff" taxes.... giggle.

:coffee:

I don't understand why he felt he had to hide the use of a hooker. We all knew he is a pig.... we've known that since 1962.... he was running on being different. His mistake was trying to hide her. If he told the truth.... he could have done some damage control and it would have gone away. He didn't. I think that's where he made his blunder. You can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear! He should have just stayed the course. He had already admitted he'd been grabbing pussy.
Grabbing pussy is not a crime,You dislike Trump so you will say anything to discredit him

Every day my estimation of your intelligence declines. You need to quit working on your truck with it running in a closed garage. Or don't.
Yours can't decline. You're already at rock bottom.

You can't seem to help yourself and continually dig in, with flawed logic, on nearly EVERY topic and event.

You're being very harsh on Stephanie! If Stephanie Clifford wants to whore herself, why can't she whore herself out to the highest bidder? Let your pronouns that are without sin cast the first stone!

“For Mr. Bragg, the hush-money developments suggest the first signs of progress since he took office at the beginning of the year, when he balked at indicting Mr. Trump in connection with his business practices,” the outlet reported at the time.

Pomerantz later went on to publish a book about the matter, called People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account, in which Pomerantz discussed internal concerns people had about the investigation and worries about the credibility of Cohen, a convicted felon.

“You describe your eagerness to investigate President Trump, writing that you were ‘delighted’ to join an unpaid group of lawyers advising on the Trump investigations, and joking that salary negotiations had gone ‘great’ because you would have paid to join the investigation,” Jordan wrote of the book.

He added that Pomerantz “frivolously” compared Trump to John Gotti, a notorious New York City mob boss, and described him as a “malignant narcissist.”

“The depth of your personal animosity towards him is apparent in your writing,” Jordan concluded.

Manhattan DA Bragg Claims GOP is “Interfering” By Subpoenaing Former Trump Investigator













Bragg also called on elected officials to “fulfill their oath of office” by not interfering in an ongoing criminal matter in state court. He emphasized that these officials should instead focus on their job in Congress and not infringe on the sovereignty of the state of New York.

Jordan’s subpoena, mandated that Pomerantz appear before the committee for a deposition on April 20th. Pomerantz’s testimony could provide further insight into the investigation and potential legislative reforms to protect presidents from politically motivated state and local prosecutions

Pomerantz was hired as a special assistant district attorney in 2019 by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to investigate potential financial crimes committed by former President Donald Trump and his businesses. He examined documents and records related to Trump’s finances and worked with other prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against him.

FEC Already Investigated Trump-Stormy Payoff and Concluded No Crime Took Place



Washington Examiner:

With that as background, Trainor told Secrets today that it will be hard for a judge or jury to come up with a different conclusion since it’s the FEC and DOJ that prosecute federal campaign finance law. He reiterated that in a Tuesday tweet that showed the FEC hearing room, and he wrote, “This is where campaign finance violations are tried.”

“I don’t know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them found there to be any violations whatsoever, and I think the jury is going to see that and they’re going to have to rely upon the fact that both the law enforcement experts and the civil enforcement experts, as far as campaign finance are concerned, didn’t find any violation of the law here,” said Trainor.

Actually, a good question to ask Bragg is what is a local prosecutor doing sticking his nose in a federal campaign finance case — a case that was already investigated and judged not prosecutable.

For all the highfalutin speeches about the “rule of law” and “no one is above the law,” the fact is that Bragg failed to identify a predicate crime in the indictment. As Ed Morrissey points out, ” It’s not unusual to add counts to indictments after arraignments as investigations proceed, but it’s unheard-of to predicate misdemeanors into felonies on the basis of covering up another felony without naming the felony on which the other felony charges are predicated.”

The trial judge (it may not be Judge Juan Merchan) may end up throwing this case out for that and other reasons as Commissioner Trainor explains.

Trainor, a Texas-based election lawyer appointed by Trump, listed several reasons why the FEC decided not to take up the payment to Daniels in 2018. He also released a statement, shown below, that he and Commissioner Sean Cooksey wrote in April 2021 explaining why the FEC voted to dismiss the case.
First, he said, Cohen took the blame in his plea deal. “At the end of the day, there’s the person who committed the crime, and there’s the person who is behind bars because of it,” Trainor said of Cohen.
Second, the paperwork violation in question came well after Trump’s 2016 election, so it couldn’t have been done to help his election.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that the House Judiciary Committee is contemplating summoning Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and two prosecutors who quit his team last year to testify before Congress.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) have been pressuring Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his office for answers since last week, just days before the extraordinary indictment and arrest of a former U.S. President. Jordan and Comer have requested that Bragg testify before Congress.

On Wednesday night, the same source told Fox News Digital that the House Judiciary Committee is seriously considering issuing subpoenas for Bragg and the two prosecutors who resigned from his team last year, Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne (who worked under Bragg’s predecessor Cyrus Vance), to appear before the panel and give testimony.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...

I "think" it's true based on 35 years of bookkeeping experience.

And of those 35 years, how many working in an accounting department, (of which you'd be just one of many never seeing the whole picture), of a multi-billion dollar corporation that overseas multiple properties, real estate holdings, rental properties, and multiple ongoing business concerns?

You may be a bookkeeper, but not a true accountant.

Race to the Bottom – MSNBC

  • I do not think journalists want this as the new legal coverage standard.
Another line may have been crossed that journalism will come to regret. In covering the Trump legal wranglings, Andrea Mitchell hosted a panel where she offered up an interpretation of the recent events that may become problematic.

As Trump and his team defend against charges, they have called into question DA Alvin Bragg’s motives, and yesterday some concerning questions of the judge and his family supporting the Biden administration were raised. Mitchell, in looking at the way Trump has been defending himself, came to a lazy but bothersome conclusion; this could be a result of racism.

More Farce: Bragg’s Lawsuit against Trump’s House GOP Allies




I don’t think much of Bragg’s lawsuit even though, as a matter of constitutional principle, I believe he is right that Congress has no general supervisory power over state law-enforcement officials. As I’ve explained, Jordan and his fellow Republican committee chairmen are running roughshod over federalism principles that used to be important to conservatives, and they are committing political malpractice by turning their committees into Trump’s defense counsel. But Bragg’s strongest legal arguments have been eviscerated by congressional Democrats, who shamelessly politicized their legislative power in pursuit of then-President Trump’s personal financial records, particularly his tax records.

It was patently obvious that Democrats used their subpoena power, which is supposed to be reserved for proper federal legislative purposes, to pursue partisan ends – mainly, to force the surrender of Trump tax information, which progressives and the media were ballistic that he refused to reveal after first committing to disclose early in the 2016 campaign. House Democrats feigned all manner of high-minded legislative purposes in subpoenaing Trump’s financial records, but everyone knew full well that their purpose was partisan.

The Supreme Court foolishly waded into this political morass, which the Court had succeeded in avoiding for some 233 years. Ultimately, the justices resolved nothing in their 2020 Trump v. Mazars decision. They wrung their hands between acknowledging (a) that the president has a very important job, which judges should be mindful of when Congress’s subpoena demands appear vexatious, and (b) that Congress’s authority to subpoena information is nigh limitless and that if it claims an ostensibly proper legislative purpose, it is not the Court’s place to examine the good faith of that claim.

What this means, of course, is that when there is a collision between political components of government – components that the Constitution arms with their own arsenals to do battle with one another – the apolitical judicial branch should butt out and let them resolve it by the traditional means of combat and compromise. Alas, since the Court has now undertaken to involve itself, these battles will be long, drawn-out litigation, presided over by judges who have not gotten clear guidance on resolving them. The litigation will make compromise more elusive.

Manhattan D.A. Enlisted A Who’s Who Of Biden Admin Buddies For Trump Takedown




While Bragg’s hiring of Colangelo to reportedly “jump-start” the investigation into Trump further indicates the indictment was politically motivated, the Manhattan D.A. office’s unprecedented use of outside, Democrat-connected lawyers to investigate Trump pre-dates Colangelo’s arrival by nearly a year.

A Pattern​

In early to mid-February of 2021, Bragg’s predecessor, District Attorney Cyrus Vance, arranged for private criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to be a special assistant district attorney for the Manhattan D.A.’s office. Pomerantz, whom The New York Times noted was to work “solely on the Trump investigation,” took a temporary leave of absence from his law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, where he had defended former Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., against alleged campaign finance violations. But even before being sworn in as a special assistant to the Manhattan D.A., Pomerantz had reportedly “been helping with the case informally for months…”

According to the Times, “the hiring of an outsider is a highly unusual move for a prosecutor’s office.” One must wonder, then, how much more unusual it is for the Manhattan D.A.’s office to receive the “informal” assistance of a private criminal defense attorney. The legacy news outlet, however, justified the hiring of Pomerantz based on the “usual complexity” of “the two-and-a-half-year investigation of the former president and his family business.”

A few months later, the D.A.’s office welcomed two more outsiders, Elyssa Abuhoff and Caroline Williamson, who also both took leaves of absence from the New York powerhouse Paul, Weiss to work on the Trump investigation as special assistant district attorneys.

What's the actual quote?...Because what YOU posted...isn't even close to the actual quote. Post the Billy Bush interview, so we get the ACTUAL Quote. Because, after 45 minutes of pressing Donald Trump to make a comment, and Trump, exhausted of informing Billy that he saves that talk for the locker room, where it belongs, he gave him the comment he was looking for. And thank God Billy saved that innocuous comment for 11 YEARS...just for that 15 minutes of fame that destroyed his credibility.

I ALSO heard the ACTUAL quote and found it to be quite...Meh...

If you found the actual quote to be MUCH WORSE as you state....maybe you should go grab a Bud Light with Dylan Mulvaney and he can give you some tips on how to MAN UP...
