All of you Trumpians should be freaking out. Mueller is painting a masterpiece and the facts are slowly coming to light that he has a LOT of damning information - payments, conspiracy, obstruction, quid pro Quo with international thugs. O

Sad you fall for fake news. I’ll blow up the “payments crime” you are excited about below. We can tackle conspiracy and obstruction next if you want.


Not only that, but let’s dissect the alleged crime. The allegation is that Cohen made an illegal campaign contribution by paying off these women. In order for it to be considered a campaign violation, it would have to be a transaction that would not have taken place but for the election. If Trump has entered into similar agreements prior to becoming a candidate, the narrative is destroyed.

The alleged contribution was because Cohen made payments. If Trump has made the payments in the exact same manner, but bypassed Cohen, there is no crime. The filings in the SDNY show Cohen was reimbursed. Is this still considered a contribution?

You have Trump on an audio tape surreptitiously taken by Cohen where he specifically instructs Cohen that any payment made to the women must be done legally and on the “up and up”.

IF the payment was in fact a campaign violation, it is a violation committed by Cohen and not Trump.

Cohen pleading guilty to a crime does not make the alleged crime proven. The government has never proven its case.

The Cohen alleged illegal contribution was about 15% of the contributions the Obama administration plead guilty to. Penalty: A fine.


Yet liberals are ecstatic that “we got him!!!”

When will they learn?
