But you would agree that Cohen could agree to be paid whatever amount he thought acceptable.....within reason? Correct?
If I said my fee is 250K and my client says I'll pay you 400K but you have to be my bitch 24/7 365....if I agree to that and put it in my retainer then all should be OK....sort of like Tom Hagen you will have a very exclusive practice.
But if I get paid for services rendered prior to the agreement then Bragg contends that we were engaging in a scheme.

Also I have to laugh at this entire charade because politicians all accept lobby money which is just a fancy way of saying bribe. This is a fricking joke.
this is about a cover up during campaign.
two adulteries. one long term.
unrelated to the your very real issue of citizens united 5 to 4 decision letting companies buy congress.

While I haven’t read the indictment and don’t know exactly what evidence the DA is using, it always seemed to me that part of the falsification of records may have to do with classing the payments as legal fees, making them classified as an ordinary business expense, rather than a non-business expense, making the funds personal income if paid by the Trump company. Classifying the payment as legal fees reduces offsets company income for tax purposes and reduces personal income taxes.
That being said, misclassification of personal expenses as business expenses isn’t the kind of thing that typically results in criminal charges. It would be handled by the assessment of additional tax liability, penalties and interest.
But I do know of at least one case where a local businessman misclassified gambling losses as business expenses and was convicted of a federal tax evasion felony. (Eddie Knight of Knight Oil Tools)

Who’s the 3rd party?
Trump/Trump Corp.
The 2 parties directly transacting were Cohen and Stormy

So basically like every business negotiation. At least one party has counsel.
