Republicans Put Trump Above the Rule of Law

Republicans engage in ‘mob-style’ push to fall behind Trump after guilty verdict

REPUBLICANS disparaging Court Proceedings in New York, in which TRUMP is being held accountable for paying Hush Money to keep the American people in the dark about his adulterous affairs to influence the outcome of the 2016 election is further proof… REPUBLICANS ARE REPREHENSIBLE and LAWLESS

The evidence is overwhelming that Trump is GUILTY as charged.

On 26 October 2016, 11 days before election day, Michael Cohen initiated a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who said she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. While prosecutors have identified two other hush-money payments to people who said they had stories about Trump, one a former Trump Tower doorman and the other Karen McDougal a former Playboy model, the actual charges for the case stem just from Daniels’ payments. That’s because the other hush-money payments were made by American Media, the parent company of the tabloid National Enquirer. Leaders of the company, especially the then CEO, David Pecker, were close allies of Trump and told him early in his campaign that they would help him with any scandalous stories that might come out about him.

But Trump paid Daniels himself, albeit through Cohen. Each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records represents a document that prosecutors said included hush-money payments masked as legal fees to Cohen. [source: theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/14/donald-trump-hush-money-trial-timeline]
