If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!

There are tire tracks up and down most of the "great people" Trump hired along the way.

When Trump says Paul is a good man and he is sad that this happened to him and suggesting he has been treated unfairly; is that because he got caught trying to defraud to government🤢?

I get that feeling that most anyone who is investigated long enough by someone with unlimited legal powers will suffer some sort of repercussions. Everyone has some dirt in their past. Special councils are scary.

Really? So campaign violations, begging Russia to attack our democracy by hacking and possible collusion by family and campaign staff to work with the Russians to impact the election your ok with. I suggest that if it wasn’t Hillary and a candidate you really would prefer over Trump, you might see it differently.

Is this a country with the rule of law or did Republicans become Unitarians, and now they call them the Ten Suggestions?

See that word, "Possible" ANYTHING isn't a felony.... and by your relatives and people you know makes it even less so. So you can delete that from your rant.

Cohen was indicted for 8 crimes, only one of them was a campaign violation....by Cohen

"Cohen pleaded guilty to a total of eight counts, including five counts of tax evasion involving nearly $4 million, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, one count of willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution from June 2016 to October 2016, and one excessive campaign contribution on October 27, 2016."

As far as Begging Russia, that's some serious "TDS" leaping right there from what Cohen pled guilty too. When they get any actual proof that happened, let me know.

Who knows, they are obviously still digging. looks like they found something that they can dig deeper into by trying to link Campaign funds going to a couple of bimbos. We will see what comes from that. It's never going to stop.

Time will tell and I doubt that is the only road they are going down. I think Trumps finances are a far more interesting path.
Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday to multiple charges, including campaign finance violations that he said he committed on the direction of Trump. While discussing the possible implications for Trump, Davis went on to give some details about information he said Cohen had that relate to the special counsel's investigation into Russian election interference.

Specifically, he said Cohen was willing to provide the special counsel Robert Mueller with evidence that Trump worked with Russia to sway the election.

"Michael Cohen knows information that would be of interest to the special counsel regarding both knowledge about a conspiracy to corrupt American democracy by the Russians and the failure to report that knowledge to the FBI," Davis said.

Shawn Spicer had a great quote this morning about the Mueller investigation, "I'm glad I paid all my parking tickets".

Last I heard, not paying a parking ticket wasn’t a felony.

It may not be a felony but it would be enough to get them digging into your past.

Davis did mention something to the effect that if they can tie the bimbo payoffs to campaign funds they could pursue legal action against Trump but it would likely end up in the Supreme Court. I sometimes get lost in all the legal ramifications.

Does anyone know if either of the women took the payoff?

They did take the money.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t Clinton impeached simply for denying that he had an affair with Lewinski?
