No, he told Cohen to grease the skids for an illegal campaign contribution

He was just doing his thing. No reasonable prosecutor would try that case. Their was no intent.

Convince Trump supporters of what? What do you actually think Cohen's new admission means, and how does this implicate Trump in any meaniful way that relates to Russia, collusion, etc.? Please list some specifics.

the same people that spent decades railing about how Bill Clinton was railroaded over "just a blow job" are celebrating that Trump now has a headache over paying off a few whores

We live in interesting times...

hey Kickademocratitfeelsgood..
Lanny Davis is a HRC operative representing Michael Cohen. Ponder that fact for a moment. Today is not as tough for us “Trumpkins” as you would like to believe

So, Cohen is on record as previously stating the opposite, how can anyone now prove that he's presently telling the truth? Does he claim to have documented proof that Trump ordered him to comit campaign finance violations? If not, it's his word against the presidents, and Cohen has been called a known liar even by the prosecutors.

He was directed to pay for a non-disclosure agreement. Not to violate campaign finance laws. If you are wavering, the CNN, MSNBC mob et al must be orgasmic. Stand strong. Keep the faith.

MSM will spin it to be serious problem for Trump.

BUT...a plea deal is not a settled court judgement.

Prosecutor goes on live TV says how Cohen is habitual liar.
Cohen’s lawyer is Lanny Davis (Clinton crony and avid Trump hater)
Cohen makes a deal to avoid trial and possible other charges.
I don’t think anyone has said campaign funds were used to pay off the accusers. People are paid off all the time. Not a crime.

Did Trump actually know they were paid off, then lie and say he did not know until MSM starts screaming about it? Quite possibly...Not a crime, unless he was under oath in legal setting. People lie to cover up embarrassing sex situations all the time. In Bill Clinton’s case, he lied under oath.

Lots of melodramatic chicken littles running around this thread and the board right now, reminds me of The Great Omnibus Freakout of Early ‘18.

There’s A LOT more to this story that will come out, assuming the MSM correctly reports on it - they’re already leaving out choice tidbits to make it seem that much more ominous. But if everyone would take a step back and breathe for a moment, they may realize that something smells awfully funny here, at least without the rest of the story out there yet.

Cohen’s plea doesn’t seem to have a lot to do with Russia, per, se. but that’s not the only issue that can damage Trump.
