I'm curious, the guy seems like a total scumsack, what is his motivation in all of this outing Trump?
He’s probably trying to stay out of prison.
It's this. He testified today, and earlier against Cohen, in exchange for immunity for crimes that he willfully and knowingly committed.
Today's instalment of "It's always projection".
By golly that sure does sound like some of that there 'election interference' Trump and his chuds are always screeching about, don't it?
It's not criminal for a publication to bury or promote stories, but the fact that they are admitting to just making shit up with malicious intent opens up all sorts of lawsuits.
I bet that there's a bunch of civil lawyers all chubbed up right now thinking about all of the libel and fraud cases that they can bring.
The other thing to remember is that the case is not about influencing elections. It's about cooking the books to hide the payouts. They are only using this guy to show that Cohen was the bag man for funneling payments in this scheme. This refutes Trumps claim that all payments were for legal services.
And critically that burying the stories was for the benefit of the campaign.
Do you think that his grandfather dropped the 'head' off of his last name at Ellis Island? Because it would explain a few things.
Ha, "Peckerhead."
