Phil1111 1,149 #51 April 16, 2018 DJL******Cohen got Us Weekly to kill story about alleged Trump Jr. affair: report http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/383282-cohen-killed-an-us-weekly-story-about-alleged-trump-jr-affair As I understand, it's not unusual for attorneys to have specialized practices. One issue that this brings up is that if Cohen was already doing this before Trump was running for office then these things can be dismissed as not being illegal campaign contributions. I think we all know that Trump has a long history of paying his way out of compromising situations with females. Well everyone knows trump was his own lawyer. Until he fired himself as his own counsel over a billing dispute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They aren't illegal campaign contributions, per se. They were illegal attempts to cover up crimes, and they are campaign contributions, but they are, importantly, unreported campaign contributions.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

DJL 235 #58 April 16, 2018 No clue. I just thought it was funny that a legal excuse for him could be that he's had to pay off so many women that he could say it's not unique to the campaign. I can't even imagine the kind of life Melania has right now, talk about a caged spouse."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even imagine the kind of life Melania has right now, talk about a caged spouse. That reminds me of the local jerk who was charged with aggravated assault when he smashed his wife's nose saying that it couldn't be aggravated because he'd hit her that hard many times before.

billvon 3,006 #63 May 4, 2018 Trump "sets the record straight" on the Stormy Daniels thing: ========== Trump: "We're not changing any stories. All I’m telling you that this country is right now running so smooth and to be bringing up that kind of crap and bringing up witch hunts all the time. That’s all you want to talk about." Reporter: "You said on Air Force One that you did not know anything about the payments?" Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. You take a look at what I said. You go back and take a look. You’ll see what I said." Reporter: "You said no when I asked you about the payment." Trump: "Excuse me, you go take a look at what we said." ========== Why yes, we can do that! Reporter: "Did you know about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels?" Trump: "No." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clinton was a Democrat and a large part of his constituency was genuinely upset at what they saw as his attitude towards women. I can't imagine a mainstream Trump supporter being upset with Trump for having sex with playboy playmates and porn stars. Clinton voters after this stuff got out: "He's got to go!"

wmw999 2,457 #66 May 4, 2018 I’d disagree with the estimate of liberal reaction to Clinton affairs. There was talk at the time of how ridiculous it was to object to an affair, of how it would be expected in any Western European country, etc etc etc. The “abuse of power” angle just didn’t make it into a lot of the news. And plenty of guys admired him for still “having it.” The MeToo movement hadn’t happpened yet, Harvey Weinstein was still rising, and the ejecting of CEO’s for affairs with subordinates was just beginning in the 90’s. Just because I’m kind of embarrassed about my reaction at the time to the president (who gave my cousin the creeps when she met him) having an affair with a subordinate doesn’t make it untrue. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

There were several protests, not just on campus but right down Court Street.
