albaby1 It's just not plausible that this wasn't done with ill intent. It's not illegal to pay off a porn star, but it is usually illegal to try to hide the flow of cash. There's tons of laws requiring that there be an honest and accurate record of the source and destination of funds, especially for candidates for public office. There's no innocent explanation for the decision to book these funds as personal income to Cohen, rather than client funds - the only purpose is to conceal something beyond the sexual dalliance.

Thank you albaby1 for your explanations of this trial and verdict.

It is complicated enough that, for those who do not want to see the logic and justice of the verdict, they can just ignore the facts and rage about what they see as an injustice. We are going to see a lot of that from Trump/MAGA world. We're seeing plenty of it right here on this message board.
