Sworn statements by Trump on his "deep understanding of campaign-finance laws" mean he's SCREWED.

Sworn statements by Trump dating back decades indicate that he has a deep understanding of campaign-finance laws, legal experts say, which could be critical if investigators ever pursue a case against him over his alleged direction of hush-money payments.

2. Tripped up by his own grandiosity - delightful!

A lot of things that are crimes to you and me get glossed over in the world of high finance and big business because the laws there often have a component of "intent." That is, in order to impose criminal liability, prosecutors have to prove that the guy that swindled you intended to swindle you. If the defense can persuade the jury that it was just a happy accident that their guy sold goods or services far in excess of their actual value, and that he didn't mean to do his customers out of all their money, then the jury has to find the defendant not guilty according to the law.

Trump has conducted his business dealings for decades on this basis. He might have to disgorge some of his profits, or pay a fine, but he's never at risk of going to jail because it's so difficult to prove that he intended to cheat people. Sadly for Trump, campaign finance laws don't work that way.

This dense, stupid, incurious, proudly ignorant toad doesn't have a deep understanding of anything.

4. I doubt he has a 'deep understanding' of anything.

but if there are sworn statements, then he should be held to his lie
