Why Rudy Brought Up the Cohen Payment to Stormy

RUSH: So Rudy interview with Hannity. The takeaway from the Rudy interview is that somehow Rudy really stepped in it by acknowledging that Trump was aware of the $130,000 payment to Stormy when Trump had said that he wasn’t. There’s no doubt in my mind why Rudy did this. Rudy Giuliani is not stupid. Don’t forget, there was a raid of Cohen’s office. And if Trump and Rudy figure something was procured during the raid and they know what it is, they’re gonna get out in front of it or try to get out in front of it.

What this is all gonna boil down to once again is was this payment that Cohen made to the porn star, was it actually to help Trump win the presidency, or was it essentially to protect Trump’s marriage? And if it was made to protect Trump’s marriage, there’s nothing illegal about this, it doesn’t even involve the campaign. And everybody I’ve spoken to today says it would be practically impossible to actually get a conviction anywhere on this payment having anything to do with violating campaign finance laws.
