It was a donation from Michael Cohen to the campaign, that’s how.

It wasn’t a personal matter, it was a campaign matter. He needed to pay off the whores because they were going to go public during the campaign after the pussy grabbing tape came out and Trump knew that could cost him the election so he told Cohen to pay them off.

We all knew Donald Trump was not a saint. Did he have a mistress? It doesn't matter. No one voted for Donald Trump for his saintly virtues. We voted for him for his abilities to turn the country around, to restore prosperity.

Many great leaders were rumored to have mistresses. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson come to mind. The biblical story of King David is of a man, annointed by God to lead a nation, failing privately. But he is still remembered as a great leader. I see many parallels in that story to President Donald Trump.

President Trump is doing a good job restoring a prosperous America. Let us renew our support for him and encourage others to. Let's answer the democrats with an even stronger vote for President Trump and those republican members supporting him.

The media is in a frenzy louder than feeding time at the zoo

Hate filled angry Trump hater NorDUH O'Donnell was exclaiming/screeching on CBS "This Morning" that Trump directed Cohen to "Commit a crime" even though most experts are saying it's not a rime. Sorry NorDUH, stop peeing in your pants on this fake news.

Cohen, being the stupid goon that he is, plead guilty to a non-crime on the advice of Everybody’s Favorite Liberal, Lanny Davis. (Old G. Gordon Liddy radio show reference, there.)

“Awan walks and Mueller ‘s goons get away blackmailing Trump’s lawyer and tossing privelage out the window. F’n Sessions”

Yes, I am not comfortable with how this is shaking out. I’m sure it will get worse before it gets better, but at some point (soon) our side had better stand up.

It doesn’t really matter whether he violated a law or not. If they retake the House, the Dems will bring charges based on this alleged violation. If that happens Trump’s got trouble because I don’t trust the Senate RINO’s to stand with the president.

That’s precisely what the seized bank records show, yes. And that’s why he pleaded guilty and will be going to prison. If Trump had paid the money it wouldn’t have been criminal. If this case shows us anything, it’s that Trump doesn’t pay.

Maybe the deal is contingent on the Dems winning the Presidency in 2020. If they do, then Cohen gets a pardon. In the meanwhile, Cohen refuses the idea of a pardon from DJT, but at sentencing he will end up with probation or house arrest. The $20M tax fraud allegations will disappear.

“Trump has not violated campaign finance laws”

Doesnt matter. Remember when they convicted Tom Delay for actions that violated a law that didnt yet exist?

I heard all the redtards and libtards on TV jumping off the Russian collusion bandwagon and jumping on the new fake scandal (campaign finance law violations).
