And immediately after that program, Andrew McCarthy said Judge Nap was completely wrong about that and laid out an argument to support his view.




Andrew McCarthy BLASTS Judge Napolitano’s Accusations of Trump Campaign Violations : “That’s Not What Happened at All!” (Video)

by Jim Hoft December 12, 2018 439 Comments


Former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and author Andrew McCarthy joined Lou Dobbs to discuss the latest charges against former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. Cohen was sentenced to three years on Wednesday for crimes discovered after federal prosecutors initiated an investigation on the former Trump ally.cCarthy went off on Judge Andrew Napolitano for his misrepresentation of the law in attacking President Trump.

Andrew McCarthy: What I am saying is it remains to be seen whether this was actually a crime or not even if it happened in the way Cohen did. I was quite surprised just a few minutes ago watching Judge Napolitano on the program right before yours say a federal judge had “ruled” that this is a campaign finance violation. That’s not what happened at all. What happened was the Southern District charged what was very dubiously allegedly an in-kind campaign finance donation and Cohen elected, I think on strategic reasons, to plead guilty to that charge without challenging the underlying question which is a profound legal question about whether it actually is an in-kind contribution or not. The judge never ruled on that… What happened here is the judge accepted the guilty plea but that is not binding on President Trump. So if he was ever charged he would have the opportunity to argue that this is not a campaign contribution. Cohen’s concession on this point is not binding on the president in any way.

You're barking up the wrong tree. I'm not a Trump supporter/voter, or even a Republican. I was pointing out the inane nature of that poster's comment, and her motivation.

Tomorrow will be 766. NPCs still mad because MSM told them to be mad.



Right? 766 days of being angry about the 2016 election. It must be exhausting.

Let's see... his personal lawyer, his campaign manager, 3 of his advisors, his good friend Pecker, & his company's chief financial officer. What ONE PERSON do all these folks have in common?

Hmmmm....
I don't think I really have to "tell myself" much of anything.
All I have to do is look at what's been happening and what direction things are going.

Isn't this at most a campaign violation, with the penalty being a fine?

I think that is what happened to Edwards.

edwards did face criminal charges but since the pay-off happened more than a year before the election the jury couldn't agree that the pay-off wouldn't have happened independent of the campaign.

You would think that he would ask before he shot off his mouth. Maybe Rudy will school him.
