I know right? So how does one prove that a retainer-to-be-on-call agreement that is transparent, and paid promptly, is actually recompensing hush-money? AKSH?UALLY - or whatever else the agreement was, because we simply ave no copy of a contract, and often these types of contracts are handshakes, whereby the documentation of payment is considered proof of doing business.

Saying that the crime is falsifying documents, means one has to prove falsification, i.e. that it was recorded wrongly. Easy when a wild night's bar-tab is written up as health and safety expenses, but even then, they would need proof that the drunken party took place as well as witnesses etc. The same counts for 10 000 dollar pizzas BTW.

But, what if it is a monthly check to a lawyer so that he can be Johnny-on-the-spot, just in case? He might cruise around doing not much waiting for one's call. How is that proved IRL. i.e.

we have proof, because this dollar here, was AKSHAUALLY in repayment for another payment, made by the receiving party, for an NDA, which we don't actually have, but we sure KNOW, MUST have been signed to cover that dirty sex -thingie that both parties deny,

• and that didn't really happen. Prove it BIATCH.

But be outraged, because sex. And here is the check-stub to prove it.

It turns out DJT was a victim of extortion and the lady has to pay him - with proof. In which case, how does one pay hush-money for something that has been proven, in court, to categorically never have happened? Maybe the money was paid for something else/

But Trump was arrested!! This is definite proof that he is a criminal!! [insert problem glasses Karen with pursed lips]

He was arraigned, and voluntarily walked into court REEEeeeEEE noises, and they didn't even take a mugshot, because MAGA t-shirts would be made...

Because those frog extremists are like that! They take a perfectly normal police mugshot and will turn it into money, selling T-shirts and mugs, as if they are proud of it! Disgusting!
