Why was the claimed repayment a series of payments over time?

a great appearance usually doesn't end with "Does not expect to be fired".

Sadly, of course almost none of this is real.

Hans Christian Andersen got it right, long years ago: "The Emperor has no clothes!" Yet Andersen's Emperor marched on, bowing to his cheering subjects - until that clear-eyed little boy stated what he saw, and the crowd's cheers turned to jeers.

Yet the naked Emperor marched on...and on, and on.
Exactly.

I imagine there is one or two VERY important clients of that prestigious law firm Flood works for who really pressed for him to take Trump's case...
Maybe Carl Icahn might be one of them
Or Robert Mercer...
Not that Flood has reputation for being unethical or a slithy tove...
But he does work for one of the biggest law firms in Washington--
And you can't be a big frog in a mud puddle w/o getting some mud on yourself...

"THIS RADICAL SHIFT"

Then a riveting piece about crowd noise.

YEah -- Guiliani seems to think that his admission gets Trump off the hook but many think that it shows how Trump committed campaign fraud.

I don't know......but Hannity did seem to freak out a little -- need to get to commercial and then tried to walk it back somehow.

But...Hannity and Guiliani -- Clinton's guilty -- lol.

Oh--didn't consider that aspect
Just thought Trump was broke...
But if Avenatti is correct--
That definitely shows consciousness of guilt and desire to evade the law---
Ergo "conspiracy" to commit a violation of campaign finance law...

Kind of like "Lethal Weapon 2", when when bad guy Pieter Vorstedt has to explain to his boss Arjen Rudd that he let Leo Getz get away and the police have him in protective custody.

Vorstedt is looking around to see if he is standing on plastic drop sheets.

Arjen "Aryan" Rudd (Trump) : What are you doing?

Pieter Vorstedt (Giuliani): I was just checking to see if I was standing on plastic.

(knowing the last guy who failed the boss was standing on sheets of plastic right before he was shot and wrapped in the plastic that was set down before he got there, so there would be no mess).
