How much money, if any, does it take to "facilitate" a payment?
Uh, no. Why are so many top media outlets getting this wrong? He said he FACILITATED a payment with his own funds and was not reimbursed BY the Trump campaign or organization.https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/963926986472218624 …

one guess is that he paid to set up the LLC in Delaware which made the payment

That makes sense.

What are the tax implications of any such facilitation?
-
youd have to ask
@Omri_Marian -
It really depends on what "facilitation" means...
-
Right, if he just escrowed money nothing. If he paid, well now. We have lost deductions and gift/income to Trump.

He also did not say that he was not reimbursed by Trump personally.

If Michael Cohen facilitated the payment w/o making the payment, the second underlined portion here is the especially odd part – b/c then he'd be saying 1) he wasn't "reimbursed" 2) "either directly or indirectly" by Trump Org or the campaign 3) for a payment he didn't make.pic.twitter.com/6ogLQFehBk

What a surprise that when you give an intentionally vague and misleading statement that it gets misunderstood.
-
Lawyers are careful with language. His statement is unambiguous as far as it goes. That the media interpreted it as “our of his own pocket” is entirely on them. The statement doesn’t say that in any way
-
Careful being the operative word. If he wanted to say what happened clearly he could have. He chose not to
-
Quite. His statement was aimed at creating a narrative, not to inform

Reading like a lawyer takes training, evidently.
