  • wow, so trump did lie about paying hush money to stormy daniels, who'd have thought it

    my belief in him becoming one of the great american presidents is beginning to wane

  • Giuliani appears to be doing his best to match Trump for putting his foot in it.

    The suggestion is that Trump repaid Coehn the $130,000 cover up money, but of tranches of less than $10,000 in order to avoid reporting requirements. A crime in itself, reportedly.

  • Meh, Giuiliani is probably just deliberately deflecting attention from something worse.

  • Whilst objectionable, I don't think Giuliani is stupid - it won't have been an accidental reveal, and I'm sure he appreciates exactly the likely consequences of the admission.

    Presumably there's been some calculation that admitting to it now is less painful (or stops off an avenue of attack for Mueller) than allowing it to carry on or being forced to open up about it later.
