Trump’s History of Campaign Finance Wrongdoing Destroys His New Defense

Trump says today that he doesn’t know campaign finance law. Donald Trump, the man who once bragged...

excerpt:

Donald Trump, the man who once bragged on national television in 2015 about his remarkable knowledge surrounding campaign donations, declaring, “I know more about contributions than anybody,” now has a brand new defense to his alleged federal election crimes: He suddenly claims to know nothing about how campaign donations work.

The problem with this defense, though, is this thing called “Google,” which details Trump’s long history of being investigated and even fined for violating campaign laws.

We heard this new defense on Thursday in response to Trump’s long-time lawyer Michael Cohen telling prosecutors that Trump directed him to violate federal campaign laws. Trump stated via Twitter, “I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called ‘advice of counsel.’” (It’s like the end of an episode of Law & Order when both suspects claim the other is the real ring leader.)


This may come as a surprise to some, but “advice of counsel” is an actual legal defense that people have utilized effectively to shield themselves from criminal liability, although it’s a longshot. But if Trump were to have any chance with this defense in a courtroom, he must show that in good faith he relied on his lawyer’s advice and had no idea that the conduct may have been criminal.

Yet, Rosenstein recommended that Comey be fired.

Didn’t Rosenstein make the decision to appoint Mullet? And did he not oversee the investigation till just recently?

Just for giggles, what WOULD comprise a conflict of interest in the investigation?

exactly, but liberals are unable to see the facts due to their gigantic triggered egos

there's about as much Russian collusion to be found as honest democrats.
Liberals don't really care about Russia anyway which is the irony, they only care about getting Trump, and whatever log that floats by is fine

mark my words when it is all said and done, they will be left to hang their hopes on "trump paid off a whore"
nothing more
 
Evidence supporting the elements of that offense—an obstructive act undertaken with corrupt intent and having the requisite connection to a grand jury or congressional proceeding—was available in public reports and testimony.

lol......those weren't evidence.......they were accusations......accusations which to this day have not been supported by actual evidence.....

I can’t get any of them to give an example of what a conflict of interest would look like in Mullet’s investigation lol.

They happen to be right, but the age old tactic of playing the man not the ball is your goto defence here.

They are right? According to who? You ignorant righties always disparage left leaning articles, yet here you have an internet "magazine" as your source so all others can be ignored.

We are witnessing a soft coup against Trump since he won

I am truly ashamed of my country. My hatred of liberals/leftists/democrats has now exceeded that of stinking goat fucking, pedophile worshipping muslimes.

President Trump better drain the rest of the swamp before they get him.

It's pretty obvious by now: Trump is facing a coup

We are witnessing an organized coup against a sitting president of the United States.

Donald Trump is fighting the media, the Democrats, the Republicans, the Deep State

He restocked it.

Don had shitty parenting, obviously. When it seems everyone is against you, there's a good chance you're a dick. Bears introspection. Don can't.

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around Sullivan invoking treason.

Think about it: a federal judge threatened to charge a person [a war hero, no less] with a *capital offense*. And with absolutely no legal justification for it.

I’m literally speechless.

Under federal treason law a person has to give aid and comfort to the enemy which requires declared or open war with that enemy. Too many people, including that judge, use "treason" way too recklessly.

Democratic leaders and their allies in the media have momentarily dropped the Trump-Russia collusion narrative from their playbooks and are instead talking about purported campaign finance violations.

Isn't it cute how right-wingers need propaganda outlets like Newsmax to help them whistle past the graveyard? Have you ever seen such a cowardly lot before?

Well, it’s one thing to hear debate board partisans misuse the term but for a federal judge to do it is...unbelievable.
