Several experts tell ABC News that the odds are against Donald Trump being sentenced to jail in his hush money case next month -- but others say it could happen.
Trump’s sentencing in his New York hush money case is scheduled for July 11.
I wish the press wasn’t so afraid to write Election Interference in their headline. That is what that case was about, that is what made it a felony. Calling it the “Hush Money” trial is trying to “both sides” his coverage.
Except his base has bought the line of thinking that a candidate is “allowed” to interfere in their own election, because he’s trying to win. They are OK with him doing anything, including committing crimes, as long as he wins.
The important part is the fraud. He is a liar, who illegally tried to hide his illegal hush money payments in an attempt to illegally interfere with the election process.
Agreed with what you are saying, but my point was that the media as a whole has to stop writing headlines/articles like his base is going to:
read them
not call it “fake news” anyways
The media’s constant crusade to “both sides” every story is a disservice to the facts, and down plays and white washes the facts for everyone. Calling it just a “hush money” trial is a way to downplay the fact that it was actually Trump’s way to hide a damaging story when he was running for office. And the crime was the way he hid the payment so that it wouldn’t look like it was being done on behalf of his campaign, while breaking Federal tax laws making Cohen’s reimbursement look like income. It was also a crime allowing the National Enquirer to pay to catch-and-kill stories for the campaign as illegal campaign contributions (as they were above legal contribution limits, and were unreported).
So yes it was fraud, and it was fraud against the American people, in the form of voter manipulation, and tax evasion.
