Of course, that's why you:
1) Told Cohen to pay in untraceable cash
2) Signed fake name
3) Set up fake corporations to launder it
4) Routed payments to Cohen through real estate
5) Suborned perjury to deny it
6) Lied like you did about Tower Meeting

No ne denies he went to great lengths to keep it private. The question is, is this really a campaign contribution that must be treated as such. And if it is, why isn't anyone asking about the $17 million in taxpayer funds that have been used to pay sexual harassment claims on behalf of scumbag congressmen? If every cent spent to protect the image of a politician is a campaign contribution, then surely that $17 million is a campaign contribution as well?

That’s why Mueller dumped it on SDNY
There’s bigger fish in the Trump world, more relevant to Collusion.
It will be a very interesting political dance.

It will be ugly. 99% of Trump supporters will deny he did anything wrong no matter what. 99% of Hilary supporters will insist he should be impeached, no matter what.

Noose is tightening. We'll see soon how much is fact, speculation, and how much is Resistance Wishcasting.

Same people that were probably screaming for Kavanaugh's head too.

Gee it would be nice if only we had a trustworthy and unbiased national news media. When (if) the SHTF the news will have punted much of its credibility for us to rely on.

We do but conservatives have have done a fantastic job of promoting a narrative that does not exist They have done the same with the CIA The FBI and others

Basically if the facts don’t show the outcome they want it’s fake news

so the mainstream media doesn’t have a serious left wing bias in it’s reporting? fox is right leaning, everyone else is in the tank for the democrats. that’s not true?

Have you ever said anything complimentary about the right, or critical about the left?

if you google “statistics media bias”, you’ll see all manner of data that makes it crystal clear. here’s a study done by UCLA, Stanford, University of Chicago, and UPenn. they found significant liberal bias in the media. these are not right-wing schools.

Obviously not every report that praises liberals or attacks conservatives is biased. but there’s an agenda there, an obvious agenda to help democrats get elected. Do you really not see that? how stupid would it be, if i denied that Sean Hannity is in the GOPs pocket?

That report is interesting but incomplete
The majority of people get their news from the three cable news networks Fon, CNN, MSNBC
Of the three, the one with right wing bias holds the largest share
