Who says the campaign didn't reimburse bribe to Stormy ... and maybe other bribes. What's that RENT = $130K? And the DOUBLE RENT for $253,500? Maybe these suspicious payments from Trump's campaign to Trump in late 2016—mere weeks after Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels an "unreimbursed" $130,000—will turn out to be outsized transition-period rent costs. Or maybe they won't. Media should investigate it.

Keep in mind that Daniels was paid off in late October/early November—exactly when the odd payment pattern begins. 3/ Keep in mind, it'd be hard to hide a Daniels payoff, as a) it's bigger than most individual Trump-campaign costs and b) payments to vendors can't be to imaginary vendors or it'll be easily caught. So the payment had to be to Trump and for a normally large expense, like rent.

The answer: if he was planning to be reimbursed, he'd want the money to go to a pass-through entity. 5/ Many are asking whether Cohen can be disbarred for what he did, and the answer is—preliminarily—it does appear that he violated the Rules of Professional Conduct. That said, he's only nominally an attorney—he's just Trump's bag man—so I don't know if he cares about disbarment.
