He was taped by Cohen discussing a financial arrangement regarding the Playboy model WEEKS BEFORE the election. So yeah, that's the proof.


are you saying that's the proof that these payments were never intended to influence the election? I concur

The difference here is that in this investigation, the prosecutor wants to send Trump down the river.

In the Clinton investigation, the investigation team was working to clear her, not convict her. Instead of investigating everyone in her inner circle in order to find crimes that would get them to flip, they gave them all immunity.

Wait... so trump spent his own money to hush a playmate?? Is that what this is about??


Well here's one of the crimes Cohen admitted to:

Corporations were prohibited from making contributions directly to presidential candidates, including expenditures coordinated with candidates or their committees, and candidates were prohibited from accepting corporate contributions.

His work with AMI and Nat'l Enquirer violated this law.

Hiding donors’ names and knowingly keeping illegal contributions isn’t intended to deceive anyone?

Yeah I am sure Obama had no idea what was happening in his campaign. That makes sense.

There is plenty of evidence that Obama knew what Russia was doing in 2016 and not only did he not stop it but he ordered the intellegnce community not to look into it. You do not care. Trump's kid might have met with a guy connected to Russia once and you think Trump is guilty of treason. Seems fair.

Obama also threw his support behind a candidate who was funded by Saudi Arabia and who got together with the DNC to rig the primaries and with the MSM to rig the debates. Trump levels stricter sanctions than Obama ever did against Russia and says the media is a fake group of propagandists and you attack him for being mean to the media and call him a Russian sympathizer. Seems fair.

Squeaky clean. The beacon of transparency Obama surely was.

I am so tired of you hypocritcal progressives refusing to hold people to the same standards. You bark and cry incessantly about "A", and how important "A" is, and then an independent American like myself points out thay many of your heros are currently guilty of "A" and instead of agreeing that we should clean house in DC, you immediately say that is different and not a big deal when they do it and whatever other mental pretzels you twists. I find it pathetic.

They have all kinds of communications and documents which prove that it was for the purpose of effecting the outcome of the election.

If there is evidence of Obama directing someone on his campaign to do this, then that would be on par with the current Trump/Cohen situation.

I doubt Trump even sees a fine, unless they abandon any reasonable application of the rules just to get a win.

Nothing quite like the plausible deniability distinction for the person striving to be leader of the free world.

The key will be what happens to those named in the plea agreement. If the chairman of AMI and any other Trump campaign officials who coordinated the payment get indicted, then you better believe they would go after Trump.

Do you really think that Cohen is finished talking? Trump approving the Russia meeting with Donnie, Russian investors and Trump’s Moscow building and oligarch money, etc. the games are just beginning and Comrade Orange is nervous - real nervous. McGhan’s insights on obstruction, more Omarosa tapes, his CFO speaking to Mueller, Mueller getting his tax returns and tax evasion being a real crime ,etc. look at the pieces starting to fall into place.
