The media keeps talking about Former President Trump’s payment of $130,000 for a tryst with a porn star when that in itself is probably legal. The cover-up was illegal as former President Richard Nixon often said.
This cover-up involved having his lawyer negotiate the payment, pay it, and then reimburse the lawyer claiming it as a business expense. That is among other rules, regulations, and laws illegal. One report said he paid the reimbursement with several checks making each a count of breaking the law. That is over thirty felonies.
The New York City indictment pales to his pressuring of the Georgia Attorney General to “Find” enough votes to give him Georgia. In his own words he kept pressuring after the A.G. said he couldn’t do it. That broke so many laws and after the Grand Jury has given its approval to go forward, Trump’s attorneys are just waiting for the boot to fall.
Other possible cases are the tax frauds in many states concerning the real estate taxes on his buildings. In addition to those frauds are the over evaluations of those properties when getting loans against his supposed equity. Each of those instances is fraud.
After hanging many of his lawyers out to dry by blaming them for his legal problems or not paying his bills, many offices have declined to represent him. He has to hire second tier offices that require sizeable up-front payments.
Donald Trump’s own words betray him as he often spoke off script. He also said many times “No person is above the laws.” Neither should a crooked former President!
