President Trump was in court once again on Friday for Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

KEYWORDS:
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.

Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

Bragg’s biased prosecutors called in the final witnesses to testify on Friday after Stormy blew it on the witness stand this week.

Trump walked out of the courthouse with a stack of news articles in hand and went off on the crooked judge’s gag order. He also blasted Joe Biden.

Trump said he’s willing to go to jail for the Constitution.

“The judge is corrupt. The whole thing is fake,” Trump said flanked by his lawyer Todd Blanche. “The judge wants to put me in jail. I would be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution.”

Trump also trashed Joe Biden: “Biden lies about everything, including his golf game!”

No tax deductions taken because it's not a tax form...

We're talking income and payments....nothing more. It's a ledger.

I had a small business...I logged payments...to whom...say Staples...The invoice said for copies. Logging as copies would be incorrect...It's the vendor who got paid.

Michal Cohen was the vendor...he was paid as an attorney. The invoice was Cohen's to write.

I’m sure Trump doesn’t personally process his business records.

A lawyer submitted a bill. Accountants or clerks paid it and classified it as “legal fees”.

Who cares besides the ones trying to bring him down? I personally don’t care if he banged every hooker in Reno, and paid them all off. It’s his record as president that I care about. The swamp is struggling to stay alive, they know what’s going to happen if Trump wins in Nov.

This ‘trial’ is anything but a trial. The Democrat establishment of New York is trying to gag Mr. Trump and the conservative movement; however, the citizens of the United States will fire Biden and all of his cronies in November!

Trump is proving that judicial immunity must be revoked.
There is no incentive for these criminals running the legal system to follow the constitution and the laws.
These legal entities have every incentive to cheat, destroy evidence, fabricate evidence, abuse laws, create dubious charges, intimidate witnesses, and force plea deals.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

What else do you call payments to settle a legal dispute?

Lots of companies use stamps...and with permission, it's totally legal.

I sign my apartment lease on line...and it's not my personal signature.
