| 1638235271773790208 | @lawofruby @EricColumbus @renato_mariotti Looks like Trump Org created sham invoices, presumably purporting to be from Cohen charging for his legal services https://t.co/QropHZOGFX https://t.co/MDUuDl3hj1 | 37 |
| 1638255495474475047 | @EricColumbus @lawofruby @renato_mariotti Also, not sure if this is admissible, but Trump is no stranger to the “mark up sham invoices to evade taxes” ruse…it’s how he and his siblings acquired their wealth https://t.co/oC0pxuepBb https://t.co/6veB9y8md8 | 23 |
| 1638255777264566273 | @EricColumbus @lawofruby @renato_mariotti It still astounds me that that incredible NYT story never got more coverage. It came out during the Kavanaugh hearings, no one paid attention, and then disappeared off of the radar 😒 | 7 |
| 1639747676949344258 | @EricColumbus The GOP is claiming this is a straight-up adoption of the Cohen charges. There's no reason to believe that's accurate. It stems from corporate action Trump Org took in NYC. We'll see what that is, but the GOP is trying to treat Trump CORPORATION as the former President. | 6 |
| 1636746559261151234 | @EricColumbus @AndrewCMcCarthy @just_security @NormEisen @Edanyaperry @FredWertheimer @DanielRAlonso I wrote about the non-resident defendant rolling in November in a thread starting with this tweet. But remember: there is also the COVID tolling implemented by executive order of the governor. 1/ https://t.co/vMtjSuthxM | 6 |
| 1638244914554105860 | @EricColumbus @lawofruby @renato_mariotti He obviously intended for it to come out of his company’s coffers, not his own. I.e., he could have just written Cohen a personal check. I think there’s a good argument that Trump understood that he would benefit by structuring it this way instead | 5 |

| 1638646086670663683 | @EricColumbus @costareports 1/ She doesn’t need to convene a regular grand jury. Fulton’s grand juries are continuously empaneled throughout each 2 month term of court. They sit 4 days a week & are in session now. So it’s not whether she will convene a RGJ, it’s whether she will present evidence to the RGJ. | 4 |

| 1638652587485405184 | @EricColumbus @GovRonDeSantis Trump is way behind the game on this one. I’ve been calling him Rod for an entire year and now they are trying to copy me | 44 |
| 1637618769206956034 | Then there's #4, the one I missed, from @alohagordy & @EricColumbus: I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town This is Johnny Cash. | 44 |

| 1638233461512085528 | @EricColumbus @AshaRangappa_ @renato_mariotti The intent to defraud component is indeed important & necessitates first knowing what kind of document we are talking about. It’s been reported again & again that Trump accounted for the repayments to Cohen as legal expenses, but on what kind of document(s) & when? Both matter. | 36 |
| 1638242674623803393 | @EricColumbus @lawofruby @renato_mariotti Yes, I think so…though he personally signed at least some of the checks for this arrangement so I think that would go to his knowledge https://t.co/ztn3ecIBPh | 35 |
