Looks like Donald Trump flat out stole the $130,000 from his campaign and from Michael Cohen

[Doodley]

It’s already been firmly established that Cohen paid the $130,000 to Daniels out of his own pocket. Cohen has claimed that he made that payment without Trump’s involvement or knowledge. No one believes him. It’s since been reported that Cohen has privately complained to associates that Trump was supposed to reimburse him and never did. In other words, Trump ripped off Cohen and left him with the tab. But now it gets even worse, because it looks like the Trump campaign did pay the $130,000 to Donald Trump.

Attorney Susan Simpson dug through election filings (link), and discovered that the Trump campaign made a series of payments to Donald Trump’s properties adding up to $130,000 on what appears to be the same day that Cohen paid Daniels that same amount.

So now it’s fairly clear what happened here. Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to Stormy Daniels to silence her just before the election, a violation of federal law. Donald Trump then took $130,000 from the Trump campaign for the purpose of reimbursing Cohen, also a violation of federal law. Trump then pocketed the $130,000 instead of giving it to Cohen, meaning Trump effectively stole the money from both his campaign and from Cohen.

1. I don't buy it ... Cohen got the money, they think Dump is in less trouble ...

If they make it appear that Cohen didn't receive the money ... so they concocted this story together.

4. Be a little careful about posting from Palmer Report.

He mentions a few facts but then speculates more details and background which sound like facts but aren't and are often wrong.

6. All it could be is that they haven't AS YET found the intermediary payment between Cohen and Trump.
