On Hush Money, the President’s Best Defense Is Lack of Criminal Intent

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Via Billy

The prosecutor must establish that Trump understood that his conduct was illegal. The government is unlikely to meet such a demanding burden of proof.

Paying hush money is not admirable, but neither is it criminal.

You can be forgiven if you’ve forgotten there even is a Mueller investigation.

Just a week ago, the country was on tenterhooks as the jury in Paul Manafort’s trial headed into the weekend without having reached a verdict. Would they hang? Had Special Counsel Robert Mueller overreached? Did federal judge T. S. Ellis of the Eastern District of Virginia undermine the prosecutors?

      The bribes were paid to the sluts to influence the election which I’m pretty sure is a crime. However, who cares? I am a Liberal who LOVES Trump. Hey, show me a better president for this point in time.

      Is Trump a liar? Yup. Is he a sleaze? Yup. Is he a pervert for having a friend like Epstein and going to Pedo Island? Yup. Is he ruining our environment? Yup. Did he work out that tax deal for his super rich friends? Yup.

      But I still love Trump. However, if I recall we didn’t have a yuge choice in 2016. :smile:

      BS, another nothing burger from the deep state. He used his own money, not campaign funds. He is allowed to contract anything he wants that is not illegal. Because you have the right to remain silent were is the crime. This is personal life information and the Constitution has something to say about that too. I expect that everyone in here knows what that is so….

      Trump, tell them to kiss your ass on Main Street, or better still Pennsylvania Ave.

        If he hasn’t made an effort to lock Clinton up by the midterms, who is going to vote for Trump in 2020? Other than you, of course. We’ll see if he does this. All he has to do is lock her up and he’ll have my vote. I like Trump but I’m not a Trumptard like you are. He has to keep that promise that he made. :smile:
