Ken WhiteI’m in Rolling Stone on the indictment
Saren@Popehat I wonder, what underlying crime/fraud do you think Trump himself thought he was covering up? Because he sure seems to have gone out of his way to hide the nature of the payments and the fact that he was the one responsible for them. It couldn’t have been merely that he was embarrassed because he himself said that he didn’t care if people found out about the affairs after Election Day.
@Popehat I’d be interested to know too why AMI’s general counsel decided AMI should not accept reimbursement from Trump for the $150k for the Karen McDougal story. Sounds to me like the general counsel may have deemed it a legal risk not worth the money. And if so, wouldn’t that have also put Trump on notice that he and Cohen were doing something illegal with the Stormy Daniels payment? Wouldn’t that suggest he had the intent that he was covering up something unlawful?
