Is it pleaded or plead?

Does anyone really believe Trump didn’t know the hush money payments were illegal? Or that Cohen didn’t tell him it was?

Hope they have proof

Who are these stupid Prosecutors? And what are thier names. I will call FBI to arrest them.😎 They are damaging the reputation of our respected leader and USA government.

So...?

Mueller was to investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 election. Is Stormy a Russian? Is sex collusion? I suppose you can call it that. Move on!

The lies keep on coming!

Oh right👌🏼 and he was very obedient to do so...

Like we are going to believe that

But wsj has no qualms questioning our law enforcement authorities (today’s editorial) which makes youbsimply complicit in all of this. Time to man up and stop enabling Trump.

He already denied it, stop all this hate! Because of Trump America is great again!

Realize it is important not to become so jaded as to allow illegal activity be ignored. Payments to the two women? This is a crime that we should allow our hair to catch fire? We have political party members here in Calif. allowed to pick up ballots. Several elections overturned

What is the history of illegal campaign contributions, which generally end up in a fine being paid? Do most candidates own up and say sure I knew it was a pay for play? Do they generally blame it on a staffer? Who did not suspect he wanted the women to go away? Payments, so what

Trump is running our country like a don runs a crime family. And he's a lousy don!

No one cares about hush money. STOP

Uh... DUH.

Why want Obama prosecuted for his 2M$ campaign violation? He used the money himself!!

Just because Cohen plead out to a campaign violation, doesn’t mean he was guilty of same! He plead to what they would accept in turn for his help. It was an ongoing issue paid with personal finances. It was Cohen’s job to do it legally!!

They are all crooked.. like teeth separated at birth

They are all crooked. Like teeth separated at birth

Ordered? How dumb is this statement? Everyone knows this is nonsense!

And I said your fake

Well, if Trump said it , it must be true. 😒. Headline worthy, even.

A lawyer states that his client directed him to break the law - and he complied? ANY lawyer that took 1 seconds worth of ethics and professional responsibility seriously would have fired, and would have been obligated to fire, that client. Utter BS.

Brusiers, bullying the President is not going to work. He just Tweeted that Lawyers are hired as Council to Law and are responsible for their actions to which they are paid for.

Ooops! However, his former Boss thinks Laws & Ethics don't apply to him since he is POTUS

WHAT CRIMES? Don't say Hush money!

Trump is a liar - that is a fact. The other fact the GOP is corrupt and don’t care they are too busy bringing the country down via deficits, polluting our waters and air and giving license to people to murder our children with assault weapons. America Rise Up and revolt!

How do you “order” an attorney to commit a crime? This is just plain silly! Prosecutors say the dundee best things. It’s part of the job.

No proof, just a manipulated comment by unethical practices of the Mueller team.

The fish rots from the head! How’s your fair haired boy looking today, WSJ?

Why still a debate? DT instructed Cohen to make hush payment so relationships would not be public a head of the campaign & to suppress info that voters use to decide. Trump denied with intent to hide his involvement it until audio tapes proved otherwise. No alt facts here.

“The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering and allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes they ordered others to do”

As an officer of the court, a lawyer does not break the law under any circumstance. MichaelCohen212 emphatically denied that realDonaldTrump had any knowledge of the payment and only changed his tune to get a lighter sentence. That's about as credible as bowebergdahl

The lawyer tells the client what the law is...not the other way around. A client can't be held accountable for bad legal advise given by an attorney. If that's the case this whole country is screwed.

Um....but on tape 45 does just that. Those pesky tapes....

Did Cohen go to Trump University School of Law?

And we are to believe Trump? Nope not buying his bill of goods

So a person say jump off a bridge so you do it ? Dems are that stupid

Liberals and Democrats will soon find out - No one cares. Just like the Clintons.

He must’ve forgot about all them tapes they confiscated...

And we believe this because the lien low life makes attorneys look worse than they already do lawyer: is that it? Take a pass on that

Sure...

Just how big an ass IS Michael Cohen? Note: cnn is still fakenews Note 2: He was write. The polls were wrong.

ITS ON TAPE .....YOUR THE LIAR ....

Paying off an extortionist is not a crime. Having an extramarital affair is not a crime. Misuse of law enforcement to persecute the political opposition is a crime.

Complete bullshit

Henry Cotton will never stand trial for a boy. Well; Baby Power won't stand trial for any Pen. Alpha&Omega

Internet shithouse lawyers are all over this one in defense of Fat Nixon.

Umm..so if the Cohen were told to jump off a bridge would he obey? Come On! This is a grown man with a license to PRACTICE LAW..he knew better, and it was his responsibility to inform others that don't practice law.

Sure you did Donald !!!!

In honor of Trump, Africa named an entire river after him.

The pre-sentence report prepared by U.S. Probation after a thorough investigation by that court office, concluded Trump directed Cohen. Judge Pauley adopted that finding. The Federal Court has now found Trump directed Chien to commit a felony, which is also, of course, a felony.

lol

The payments weren't illegal. They weren't made with campaign funds, and they weren't made for solely political purposes. And the prosecutors know this. This is all political.

It should be reported that 'The Presidency' was clearly involved, and not 'The President'.

Trump will deny, deny, deny. And like the lemmings they are, his supporters eat it right up. 😖

releasethetapes

Prosecutors were wrong

We'll reserve judgment until verified...don't trust media.

Prosecutors say that because both Cohen and AMI say it.

RT : Prosecutors said the president ordered Michael Cohen to commit two of the crimes ...

well trump said he did nothing wrong and he seems like an honest dude

So a non-lawyer convinced one of the biggest lawyers in the country to break a law he was well aware of... Ok... Well I guess it's time I unload my Arizona beach properties.

Since when does Trump tell the truth?

You're going to jail, President Shitstain!

Bluh bluh bluh..

Michael Cohen says he tried to rig online polls 'at the direction' of Donald TrumpPresident Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and longtime fixer Michael Cohen on Thursday said he tried to 'rig' online polls — including one conducted by CNBC — 'at the direction and for the sole benefit of' Trump. Oh my gosh. Campaigns rigging polls ? * GASP * Shocking that such a thing could happen in the United States ! What a scoop ! He didn't just 'try.' He did rig the polls. Seriously, whatever intern writes your twitter feed needs to be slapped. You mean like the rigging that occurred daily, hourly and by the minute by the mainstream media in favor of Hillary Clinton? Comedy. This is not a story.

Ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen subpoenaed by Senate committee, lawyer saysThe subpoena comes just a day after Cohen, citing threats to him and his family, sought to pull out of a public hearing scheduled for next month. Does he prove in front of a mirror to put up always that kind of face? LOL Senate committee subpoenas have no teeth. Given the opportunity, GOP has chosen to cover for the President rather than fulfill their duty to hold Trump to account. Yes, SenatorBurr is better than DevinNunes - is that really the standard now? Resist So I guess the Senate will be threatening Cohen now!
