   Jeff McConney, the former Trump Organization comptroller, and testified that the monthly checks to make up the amount for the Cohen reimbursement were sent to the White House for Trump to personally sign. (That, by the way, also verifies that Trump lied when he claimed he had no connection with his businesses once he became President.)

   The charges against Trump are that his former lawyer Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to Daniels to quash her story about having an extramarital affair with the former president before the 2016 election in the wake of the should-have-been-damaging Access Hollywood tape. Trump is being accused of illegally falsifying business records by classifying his reimbursement of Cohen, executed by the Trump Organization, for the hush-money payment as legal expenses.

   Evidence presented at the trial has included former Trump Organization CEO’s Weisselberg’s written calculations on a bank receipt: a $180,000 reimbursement to Cohen (for a $130,000 wire transfer and a $50,000 payment to a company called Red Finch for technology services), a “gross up” or doubling of this figure to $360,000 in order to offset income taxes, and an additional bonus of $60,000.

   Jeff McConney, the former Trump Organization comptroller, confirmed the math on the payments.

   Jimmy Kimmel: “Paying a woman to keep her quiet about having sex with you while your wife is at home with your newborn baby isn’t illegal. What’s illegal is falsifying records to make it a business expense, which he made so his supporters wouldn’t find out he’s a lying, cheating scumbag. But the joke is on Trump because it turns out his supporters don’t care that he’s a lying, cheating scumbag. He could have saved himself a whole trial and 130 grand.”

   And if she had done that, 911 would have told her to hang up, and anyone else to whom she would have reported it would have told her it was her fault for going to his hotel room to have dinner in the first place.

   The judge is in a lose-lose situation. Money fines mean nothing to Trump – even assuming he doesn’t have the money himself he’s raising it from his faithful cult members on the basis that he’s being persecuted and the trial is a witch hunt. And if the judge throws him in jail, Trump (shamefully) being the presumptive Presidential nominee of the Republican party will just seem to confirm that it’s political persecution even though any everyday defendant would have been thrown in jail long ago.

   Trump’s indictments were brought by grand juries who decided that the evidence presented by DAs was enough to justify having a trial. It’s always amusing that MAGAts will bend over backward to create paranoid convoluted scenarios (the DA is corrupt, the judge is compromised, despite an extended voir dire all the jurors are secretly Democrats who hate Trump, the evidence was all fabricated, the CIA, DoJ, and FBI secretly plotted with the courts in the various states,…) rather than that the actual and simple scenario that he’s actually guilty and the courts have verifiable evidence to prove it.

   Try for just a couple of minutes to consider that Trump might actually be guilty of the charges against him. If you would refuse to consider any scenario in which he could possibly be guilty or any solid proof that he is, you can no longer deny you’re in a cult.

   In case y’all haven’t yet seen it, do check out the video that the president of North America’s Building Trades Unions made to endorse President Biden. It’s absolutely scathing and outlines just how incompetent and untrustworthy Trump is. https^://^www.youtube.^com/^watch?v=S3G5Yx-0BKM

   LOL! After Trump’s repeated whining and complaining that his requirement to appear in court at his own criminal trial was keeping him from crucial election campaigning, on the three days off he had from court, he of course… went golfing!

   If this isn’t racist, then what is this cartoon trying to say? One candidate’s VP is endorsing him and the other candidate’s VP isn’t. There is no other explanation for this cartoon other than the opinion of a Black woman is worthless.

    It’s so predictable that MAGAts who can’t defend Trump always try to deflect by parroting “Hunter Biden Hunter Biden.” Newsflash for you: James Comer told a Republican colleague yesterday he’s ready to be done with the sham impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Despite desperately looking, the GOP has been unable to find any evidence of any criminal or improper dealings by him.
