The Fox News/ Tucker Carson video?(I had to laugh while typing that lol)
In order for Trump to be guilty of not reporting a campaign expense paid from his personal funds, you would then have to agree that as long as it's reported then any expense can be classified as legitimate campaign expense and that campaign funds can be used to pay any personal expense. The argument that Bragg makes thus makes no sense on it's face. The Democrat Party continues to dissolve before our very eyes.
I didn't ask what you thought of Tucker. I asked if you watched the video.
Costello told reporters following his more than two hours of testimony before the grand jury that Cohen said he had masterminded the hush-money agreement all by himself.
“The heart of it is that Michael Cohen told us that he was approached by Stormy Daniels’ lawyer and Stormy Daniels had negative information that she wanted to put in a lawsuit against Trump,” Costello said, according to a clip in a tweet.
“So Michael Cohen decided on his own, that’s what he told us, on his own to see if he could take care of this,” Costello said without elaborating on anyone who was him at the time.
Costello said Cohen told him he drew up the payment agreement with Daniels’ lawyers and used a loan to cover it, saying he “wanted to keep this secret, even secret” from his wife.

Costello said he testified to the grand jury Monday that Trump did not know about the payments made by Cohen to Stormy Daniels.
Costello, speaking to reporters in front of his Manhattan office after his testimony Monday, slammed Cohen as a liar.
"There can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Michael Cohen has great difficulty telling the truth," Costello said. "He is, after all a convicted perjurer, and our track record with Mr. Cohen convinced us that he was a serial liar."
"Michael was in a manic state. He told us that he had contemplated suicide, that he had been up on the roof of the Regency Hotel the weekend before, seriously considering jumping off because he couldn’t face the enormity of the legal problems he knew were coming his way," Costello recalled, reminding that, at the time, Cohen’s office and home had been searched by the FBI, but had yet to be charged with any crimes.
---Costello said he asked Cohen, at the time, if the money negotiated with Daniels was Trump’s money, to which Costello said Cohen replied: "No, it’s not."
Costello said Cohen, during that meeting, was "pacing like a wild tiger in a cage, back and forth, back and forth."
---"Michael Cohen, in that state of high anxiety, when he said to us numerous times, ‘I’m looking for a way out, I need an escape hatch, how do I do this? I need to know what my options are,’" Costello said, recalling Cohen asked if he had "a chance for commutation."
Meanwhile, Costello said that during the meeting in April 2018, Cohen said "‘I want you guys to know I will do whatever the f— it takes. I will never spend one day in jail.’"
---"He must have said that close to 20 times," Costello said Monday. "This was his mantra all day long. You think a guy whose mindset right at that moment is a lie, cheat, steal shoot somebody. Whatever it takes. I'm not going to jail – Well – he went to jail, and now he's on the revenge tour."
Costello added: "I understand it, but I don't condone it. And that's why I went in there today – to tell these people the truth about who the real Michael Cohen is and what he was actually saying at that moment."

In court an uncredible witness becomes credible if he has corroborating evidence that backs up what he says.For The Feds to convict Cohen and name Trump/individual 1 as a co conspirator and now The NY DA bringing a case means Cohen has evidence to back up what he says.
Yet, when he was trying to avoid jail, he did not offer anything on Trump to save himself but was suicidal. Sorry, Michael Cohen made up the story later. What was credible is him not offering anything back when it would have helped him avoid jail.
The republican commissioners used the excuse that because Trumps hand picked AG handled the case they didn't have to.
