Could the NY A.G.'s announcement have anything to do with this Sept. 2019 story?

The Federal government closed its investigation into these payments, but the NY state prosecutors opened up their own investigation. And falsifying these records would violate state law.

Whatever it is, we'll find out what her "major national announcement" is at 11:30 tomorrow morning.

New York state prosecutors are investigating if the Trump Organization falsified business records in connection with two hush-money payments made to women who alleged affairs with President Donald Trump, CNN reported.

Specifically, according to CNN, investigators are examining whether the Trump Organization falsified business records connected to the payments, which would violate the state's law.

In their charging document against Cohen, New York federal prosecutors said he sent monthly false invoices to Weisselberg, who forwarded them to Donald Trump Jr. In reality, prosecutors said, the invoices were meant to disguise the reason Cohen was being paid $35,000 in monthly installments — he was being reimbursed for facilitating the hush-money payment to Daniels.

When asked about the false invoices, Cohen said the president directed false transactions in conspiracy with Weisselberg and Trump Jr. as part of a criminal conspiracy of financial fraud.

2. I doubt it

I suspect it came from that case
Michael Cohen alleging bank, insurance and/or tax fraud is much more serious.
They got Manafort dead to rights on it.
A key issue for them is statute of limitations - which I think is five years - so they may not have much time to waste depending on when the transactions took place.

Time will tell soon enough.

3. Michael Cohen also testified about a criminal conspiracy to commit financial fraud in THIS case.

"When asked about the false invoices, Cohen said the president directed false transactions in conspiracy with Weisselberg and Trump Jr. as part of a criminal conspiracy of financial fraud."

7. But that's comparatively like shoplifting to hide a fling compared with

multi-million dollar fraud to dupe a bank, an insurance company or the government of taxes.

They could use it to flip his 75 year old bookkeeper Weisselberg

8. Don't be a 'debbie downer' please.

[Hoyt]

9. Hey, this is only the 10,000th announcement that was going to take trump down.

Will be glad to eat crow dung if I’m wrong.

[Hoyt]

5. Everyone knows trump approved the hush money. Nothing was done then,

and I bet nothing will be done now.

10. It's about the NRA

[pnwmom]

11. Yes, that's the rumor. But it could concern the NRA

AND the GOP -- and the mysterious $30 million the NRA spent on the 2016 election.
