The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Except it wasn't.

That's in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?

Cohen wasn't being paid for legal services - he was being reimbursed for the payments he made to Daniels,

...which was a...wait for it...legal service. Especially in the context the NDA.

If Trump (or Cohen, for that matter) could prove that those payments were in fact compensation for legal services provided by Cohen to Trump, neither would have been in criminal jeopardy.

Okay, fine. This is a crime.
Time to arrest Hillary! Clinton, whose campaign paid for disinformation from a hostile government knowing that it would be used to violate the civil rights of US citizens. There's outright criminal conspiracy there, FARA violations, name it.

One more time. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Are the democrats sure they want to play this game? BTW I'd stand up a grand jury in Waco, TX. She'll get a fair trial, right?
