A bombshell leaked document is panicking Democrats as it threatens to implode the entire case against President Trump! We’re going to look at precisely what the letter reveals, how fatal it may be to the prosecution, and why we may be looking at the utter collapse of this partisan witch hunt!
-Alvin Bragg has EMBARRASSED HIMSELF!
-Leaked documents reveal the TRUTH about this witch hunt!
-Alvin Bragg may be the one ending up behind bars…
We may have just learned why the rabid-leftwing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has yet to indict former President Donald Trump despite a week of reports and speculation he would do so. The Daily Mail obtained a leaked letter sent to federal authorities in 2018, where Michael Cohen, the now disbarred and disgraced former attorney for President Trump and the New York DA’s star witness, explicitly denied receiving reimbursement from Donald Trump or his organization for making hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The letter, which was written on Cohen’s behalf by his attorney Stephen M. Ryan and sent to the Federal Elections Commission, reads as follows: ‘In a private transaction in 2016, before the U.S. presidential election, Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford [that’s Stormy Daniels real name]. Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly.’
Now, this revelation of course shatters Cohen’s change of tune when he recently testified before the grand jury that Trump instructed him to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels to prevent her from revealing their alleged affair just days before the 2016 presidential election. And again, keep in mind, just to underscore how flimsy and brittle this case is, there’s nothing wrong with Trump doing that; even if what Cohen’s change of story was true. Let that hit you, even if what Cohen is NOW saying is true, that’s still not a crime. What this partisan Manhattan DA is trying to do is he’s trying to convict Trump of paying that money solely in relation to covering it up for the campaign, which would entail a campaign finance violation, which is a federal crime. The problem with that is it’s virtually impossible to prove; how do you prove Trump’s intentions were limited solely to the campaign? And again, keep in mind, the Justice Department looked into doing just that, and blew it off! So this Manhattan DA Bragg is trying to prove a federal crime that the Justice Department didn’t think worthy of a charge!
But now we have this leaked letter written to that very agency, the Federal Elections Commission, that shows, unequivocally, that their chief witness Michael Cohen was either lying then or he is lying now! Now, this bombshell revelation comes on the heels of yesterday’s embarrassing announcement that the grand jury meeting scheduled for Wednesday afternoon to consider indicting president trump had been canceled without explanation! But Fox News reported that sources were confirming that the meeting was canceled because of quote ‘major dissension’ within the district attorney’s office. One source claimed that Bragg is having trouble convincing the grand jury on potential charges due to the obvious weakness of the case and my namesake, Jonathan Turley, is noting that Bragg is getting pushback from the grand jury. Keep in mind, grand juries tend to rubber stamp whatever prosecutors put before them, the old saying is that a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, they don’t particularly care, if the prosecution presents them a case, the jury generally assumes there’s merit to it, otherwise, why present it? So if Bragg is getting this kind of pushback from the grand jury, it only amplifies the notion that this is an extraordinarily weak and flawed case.
It’s also no coincidence that this pushback and delay comes after the grand jury heard testimony from attorney Robert Costello, who’s Michael Cohen’s ex-attorney, and Costello said that he revealed upwards of 300 emails that the grand jury had not seen. This radically partisan DA had not shown them the emails, and according to Costello, they all contradict Michael Cohen and so that may have had a real impact! Now, the Daily Wire is reporting that this 2018 letter where Michael Cohen denies Trump had anything to do with this was also NOT shown to the grand jury, and this is precisely why. Marjorie Taylor Green is calling for this DA’s arrest, because he’s deliberately hiding exculpatory evidence and all of this is just the tip of the iceberg of how pathetic of a case this really is.
What we know now, as reported by the New York Post, is that Trump did in fact pay Cohen $420,000. It was paid by Trump or Trump’s trust and according to federal prosecutors, that money included $130,000 for the Stormy Daniels payment as well as some other work that Cohen did for Trump. Now, the sticky party in all of this is that while non-disclosure agreements are perfectly legal, the potential problem for Trump centers around how his company categorized the reimbursement. The payment was listed as a legal expense based on a retainer agreement with Cohen, however, as I understand it, there’s no record of a retainer agreement AND the reimbursement wasn’t related to any legal services from Cohen. So all this means, in the end, is that you have a potential misdemeanor of falsifying business records. That’s it! The only way this thing could have any teeth at all is if prosecutors found that Trump not only intentionally falsified his business records, but did so in order to hide or conceal a second crime, something else entirely! That would elevate the misdemeanor to a felony and THAT is where this whole accusation of campaign finance violation comes in, accusing Trump of paying Daniels off to hide it from his campaign! But once again, not only does the Manhattan DA NOT have jurisdiction over trying a federal crime, but the institution that does, the Justice Department, is on record saying they don’t think that such a case has any merit! That’s how utterly insane this whole partisan circus is! So we’ll see what happens; as of the making of this video, sources are saying that the New York grand jury is supposed to reconvene around noon today, Thursday, but what does it matter? This is one of the most horrific examples of weaponized legalism imaginable; this case is riddled with corruption all the way through, and there is no way any of us are ultimately going to stand for it!
