Conspiracy

It just keeps getting better and better.
Two senior Trump Organization executives had involvement in the financial arrangements, according to the 22-page court filing.

Separately, one or more members of the 2016 Trump campaign were cited as having worked to identify stories about Mr. Trump’s romantic entanglements “so they could be purchased and their publication avoided,” the filing said.

Mr. Cohen, the filing said, “coordinated with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls,” about the nature and timing of the payments, which were made to influence the election.

The people are not identified in the documents.

Let the speculation begin.

You know, this is indicative of a very, very poorly run organization. If you've got some sensitive information to keep hidden, surely you want to limit the number of people who know about and attempt to hide it.
“I think the allegations reveal that executives in the Trump Organization — more than one, and not clear how many more than one — were involved in funneling the payments to Stormy Daniels and may have significant legal exposure as a result of that,” [Jenny Johnson Ware, a criminal tax lawyer in Chicago] said, even though their actions came after the fact.

“Obviously, they are trying to hide something,” she added. “There’s a normal way to do this and then there’s the way they did it.”

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
