It's a NDA It's legal Its common Hes still your president

Congress had a taxpayer fund that spent $17,000,000 hushing up sex scandals.

Again, the media is jumping up on someone's word because it fits their narrative. We do not base Justice upon the person's word, but upon solid evidence and due process. This is nothing but hearsay at best.

What about the $17 million bush fund congress has had access to? Is that illegal?

'The filing stopped short of accusing the president of committing a crime' You guys at the AP are setting up the resistance lunatics for a big disappointment.

What about him to take a bullet for trump?

Illegal? It was his own money. Stop lying to people. No crime. fake hype

Not illegal. It was his own money. It's not a crime to give money to people.

Not clear that it was illegal.

RoyBlunt

Paying “hush” money is not illegal.

So What?

Not illegal at all, since he’s probably done it several times before running for office. I mean, he was a billionaire playboy after all.

Maybe something will eventually stick. Just keep trying.

What do his supporters say? LOCK HIM UP!

Noone cares

Bullshit. I don't believe for a second he would be dumb enough to not have a buffer between his lawyer and himself.

Puhlease....

HEY CHUMP !!! I GUESS GAME IS OVER,RIGHT?

If he used campaign funds, maybe ... but at that time he was spending his own cash, remember, AP Tsk! Tsk! Such short memories ... hate does that to you ...

Michael Cohen is a liar that's trying to get a lesser sentence. There was no campaign-finance violation. Mueller had him admit to making an illegal campaign violation when he in fact did not. Admitting to a crime makes it look better as Mueller creates a smoking mirrors report

Says the guy [COHAN] be charged with LYING...

NOT👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

realDonaldTrump is a damn crook & anyone including the blind can see this.

Donald J Trump (Individual 1) is a TRAITOR!

Since she didn’t hush....

Why not post what the defense says?

Orange man bad. TDS

Trump ordered a crime and then lied about it to the public. And that crime made him vulnerable to blackmail. Clinton was impeached for far less.

Again, so he’s the lawyer-what does this mean for his client

See you can do it when you try

Big Whoop...!!!!

Lock him up

I bet there is sooo much more than tnat. Mueller doesn’t always put his cards on the table. He’s waiting for Trump to open his loud gassy mouth again.

We were ripped off from having a legitimate election in 2016 that impacts our government, representatives, people who govern our water, environment, consumer protections, education, the rule of law, federal & Supreme Court justices for years to come. WHERE IS OUR JUSTICE NOW?
