He simply doesn't understand the law.

Let's review.

2. Rudy suggested payments to Daniels and McDougal had two purposes. There was a campaign purpose but Trump also wanted to protect his family

He said the Edwards case established that, to violate the law, impacting the campaign must be the SOLE purpose

3. The judge in the Edwards case however found THE EXACT OPPOSITE. The judge's instructions to the jury specifically said that they did not have to find that influencing the campaign was the sole purpose -- only a purpose.

4. Rudy is describing Trump's motivations in a way that would result in Trump being GUILTY. popular.info/p/wreck-it-rudy
5. Also in the Edwards case, the government had to establish his motivations based on circumstantial evidence.

Here there are multiple people who hatched the scheme with Trump (Cohen, Pecker) prepared to testify the purpose was to influence the campaign

6. This is only one of several major legal errors that Giuliani made yesterday.

I have all the details in my newsletter, Popular Information.
