I believe mr Cohen President Trump cannot be trusted it's time to kick him out...

Trump knows....

Trump doesn’t care about what’s wrong, he only cares about what he wants.

Lying puke

JaniceGunn42 Here is what Cohen looked like in 2014 when he was merrily suing somebody for renting him a house in the Hamptons for $150K/month (& he didn't like the house). What a difference 4 years & the threat of prison makes.

Who cares. Rich private citizen uses lawyer to fix problem with money.

Except that DT believes, truly believes, that he is above the law, and if he engages in a criminal activity it’s ok. His history taught him that.

Question: are Campaign Finance Law violations more akin to REGULATORY OFFENSES, i.e., Scienter (mens rea) is immaterial. Hmm.

WPJohnWagner Obama SPIED on TRUMP UraniumOne & lib media like U didn't REPORT IT!WalkAway QAnon

Your narratives are futile . . . the boom is near!!!!!

What ever WaPo reports, know that the exact opposite is truth..

We would do better pushing Congress for the names of those in Congress who have used tax payer money for 'Hush Payments' instead of a citizen who did. Because many are Democrats you do not care. Making you part of the cover up and an enemy of the People!

Like all sources, here's another corrupt idiot on the ropes forced to say anything to stay out of jail NoHonor NoIntegrity

Trump is Ted Bundy of politics.

Of course he knew it was wrong.... After all, he is a stable genius!😆

Anyone who thinks Trump would’ve said “oh, it’s wrong...well let’s not do it then” in regards to paying off women he’d HAD AFFAIRS WITH, is an idiot. He’s an immoral man, period!

They weren't made with campaign funds, and they can't be proven to have been SOLELY election related. Therefore: Legal.

Evidence?

It is wrong but not illegal. Id like to see a list of all members of Congress who used tax payer money for hush money. HushMoney

From a moral or legal perspective?

Sounds like someone trying to get his sentence reduced.

New Yorker's are paying Amazon to deliver packages to get picked up by porch pirates

Remember, Trump is a stable genius. So of course he knew.

They set up a shell company to pay it...

Did Schiff use my taxpayer money Wapo?

I a sure he did !

Trump has a DOZEN different versions of the same story and his supporters swear they're ALL true!

This guy hase been a proven lier. Now you want him to change things and us to believe to follow the directive no sr. We have our own minds

Ain’t nuttin illegal about it ... try try again

Trump is the most bulletproof President. In any normal presidency he probably would have been asked to resign.

No one cares.

BuzzFeed: Trump Directed Cohen To Lie To Congress About A Trump Tower In MoscowA BuzzFeedNews report, citing two law enforcement sources, says Michael Cohen told the special counsel that Donald Trump 'personally instructed him to lie' to lawmakers about negotiations for a Trump Tower in Moscow.
