“Get it done.” Trump played a central role in hush payoffs to Stormy Daniels & Karen McDougal, which violated campaign-finance laws. Prosecutors have evidence to prove it.
by @joe_palazzolo @nicole_hong @mrothfeld @rebeccadobrien @rebeccaballhaus #Maddow on.wsj.com/2OAW9qq
Trump asking David Pecker to quash former Playboy model Karen McDougal's story is among several previously unreported instances in which Trump intervened directly during & after the campaign to kill stories about his sexual encounters with women.
#Maddow
The SDNY US Attorney's office has evidence that Trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the payoff agreements [which violate federal campaign-finance laws] and that he directed the deals in phone calls & meetings with his fixer Michael Cohen and others.
#Maddow
David Pecker, who during a Feb 2015 Trump Tower meeting with Trump & Cohen planned how AMI could surface embarrassing info about Hillary Clinton during general election & kill stories re Trump's sexual encounters, is cooperating with prosecutors.
#Maddow
In court docs, prosecutors cited “encrypted” communications between AMI's David Pecker & Dylan Howard and Michael Cohen re the payoff to silence @StormyDaniels about her affair with Trump. Howard was known to have a RECORDING DEVICE in his office.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

President Trump isn’t charged with any crime, because he didn’t commit any crime. Move on. wsj.com/articles/donal…
1) Thread to explain why I argue that @POTUS didn’t do anything. This is based on logic, but also watching one of the writers of the @WSJ article, Michael Rothfeld, on @marthamaccallum show on @FoxNews just now.
2) Cohen took a plea deal. Basically this means he agreed to say he did something in exchange for being left alone.
