Cohen said he acted at the direction of Trump to violate campaign finance laws
I didn't hear this either.

Yeah. I guess this was spun before watching this.

The prosecutor did not mention "the candidate" at all. The prosecutor implicated Cohen for misrepresenting information to the candidate.
I listened to that whole conference and it seems like Cohen fell on his sword for Trump. Trump must really have something huge to get Cohen to do this. Or the prosecutors are just holding their cards close to their vest.

federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted Edwards in 2011 on six felony charges of violating multiple federal campaign contribution laws to cover up an extramarital affair to which he admitted, following his 2008 campaign. Edwards was found not guilty on one count, and the judge declared a mistrial on the remaining five charges, as the jury was unable to come to an agreement.[2] The Justice Department dropped the remaining charges and did not attempt to retry Edwards.[3] Though it did not result in a criminal conviction, the revelation that Edwards had an extramarital affair and fathered a child, while his wife Elizabeth was dying of cancer, gravely damaged his public image and ended his career in politics

Two different situations, but you already knew that.

They're lying.

Typical Trumpkins misrepresenting the facts

Cohen said he had been directed by "a candidate for federal office" - presumed to be Mr Trump himself - to break federal election laws.
The indictment against Mr Cohen carries up to 65 years in prison.
But his plea deal includes a much more lenient custodial sentence of up to five years and three months, said Judge William Pauley.
Mr Cohen has pleaded guilty to:
Five counts of tax evasionOne count of making false statements to a financial institutionOne count of wilfully causing an unlawful corporate contributionOne count of making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate or campaign
His sentencing was set for 12 December. He was released after posting a bail of $500,000 (£390,000).
Reporters in court said Mr Cohen's voice quavered as he answered routine questions from the judge.

What was misrepresented

If this is tied to the NDA it would be hard to prove it was a contribution. Is it a contribution because the newly disbarred attorney claims it is?

Maybe that candidate was Hillary?

Hey slap nuts , Obama had the biggest excessive campaign contribution fraud in the history of elections . What happened to him ? Nothing , but muh you got him this time !

Directing Cohen to facilitate those payments by committing fraud and campaign finance violations would be against the law.
Proving that is what took place is going to require a real reach.

No doubt.
It must be knowing and wilfull.

Did Cohen say, "Trump instructed me to break the law?"
I highly doubt it, so which part are you claiming was misrepresented? Do you think not naming Trump was an accident? Do you really think Cohen said "he told me to break federal election laws?"

Cohen's attorney said Trump told him to break the law, so yeah
