Cohen spilling the beans and showing receipts.

Trump inauguration

At this point, is there anything that Trump and his team of 'best people' haven't screwed up/lied about..

Looking like another win for American values and the rule of law.. and another loss for the GOP...

From the article you linked:
quote:

The inaugural committee hasn’t been asked for records or been contacted by prosecutors, according to a lawyer close to the matter, who said: “We are not aware of any evidence the investigation the Journal is reporting actually exists.”

People donate money for access. That's what they fricking do. Trump admitted during the debates that he did this to candidates of both parties.

This is a nothing story and it will go nowhere.

Trump Inauguration Spending Under Criminal Investigation by Federal Prosecutors--
Probe looking into whether committee misspent funds and top donors gave money in exchange for access to the administration

How did he do anything different than Obama or past Presidents?

They won't stop until he is impeached and removed, or they will probably JFK him. It is sad.

This must have been what the democrats meant today in that sham hearing. LOOK AT TRUMP more things will come from Cohen...

This is depressing, the democrats are jumping for joy. It is why Paul Ryan and others high tailed it out.They all knew they were going to make it nearly impossible for Trump to win re election.

Is there anything that anyone in Washington hasn’t screwed up and lied about?

Lets have you run a multinational business and run for President then have a special council investigate you that is hell bent on find out anything that anyone will say about you

I doubt anyone could survive that. The rules of the game aren’t the same.

Interesting - this is SDNY, not Mueller (who has separately looked into the Trump inauguruation) so this isn't about Russian contributions. Looks like it was kicked off by the Cohen raid back in April:

quote:

The investigation partly arises out of materials seized in the federal probe of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s business dealings, according to people familiar with the matter.


GEOTUS ain't gonna be happy 'bout that.

Funny how these stories are coming out at the exact same time the Clinton Foundation is under criminal investigation for pay to play by the FBI and IRS.

Reminds me of the Russia collusion investigation.

Scorched earth is taking place between the two Parties and I am starting to think that politicians on both sides of the aisle want this stop because it could get really ugly. The more this Clinton Foundation investigation goes on the more push back that takes place by the Dems to the Republicans.

"Federal prosecutors are investigating the $107 million raised by Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee, including whether any donors gave money to influence official administration positions."

Meh, it's sooooo much fun watching Sore Loser Lefties grab every straw that floats by hoping it keeps them from drowning in their own river of shite.

It won't.

I believe two things about this thread

1st. A grilled pimento cheese on good sourdough is about the best dollar to time to taste meal there is.

2nd. the left talking dont really care if trump is impeached or guilty of campaign irregularities. The end goal is to have a base believing he got off. That will fuel them longer ..even lifetimes. Legislation can be overturned by a vote but hatred is much harder. So no evidence is needed just insinuation. Just feed that he is guilty and when he's not...well its because he got off
