    He does events in the public space of trump tower without a permit, which Cohen equates to stealing from the people of New York. Click saved.

      I wonder if this is something anyone can go after or not. This seems like one of those smaller things that’ll just glide right off of him.

        True, and probably because his spray tan is really greasy so many things glide right off him

      You missed the stealing part.

      “All of the public space, that’s all owned by the people of New York,” Cohen added. “But he charges the campaign.”

        The stealing part is using the public space without a permit for it. You have to pay for permits, don’t you? Campaigns also have to pay for the police presence at events l think and I’ll bet he doesn’t pay for that either.

        The Trump campaign paying Trump for the use of a public space is a different kind of violation. He’s paying himself money from the campaign that was donated for use to get him elected. He’s essentially giving himself money from his campaign fund. That’s got to be some sort of FEC violation.

      Ok. After the sentencing for inciting an insurrection, and stealing classified documents, and campaign finance violations, and whatever other felonies he’s guilty of, I guess we can tack on a $20 fine for this.

        Add it to the pile. At this point, you probably need a rocket to get to the top of it.

        Just don’t use Boeing, because you might not come back.
