A dark day for Trump. The darkest day for the presidency since Watergate.
NBC "News" ^ | August 22, 2018 | by Jonathan Allen

NBC NEWS ANALYSIS: Two of the president's former associates were in court Tuesday. Both guilty of multiple felonies. What happened to draining the swamp?

There hasn't been a darker moment for a president - or for the presidency - since Richard Nixon resigned on the verge of impeachment in 1974.

On Tuesday, Michael Cohen, the president's longtime fixer and former personal lawyer, pleaded guilty to felony crimes that included illegally paying women hush money to help Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. Most important, he said he did so at Trump's direction.

In other words, Trump cheated to win the White House, according to one of his closest former associates.

Whatever the case, voters will render the next verdict on Trump and his allies, and they will do so with Tuesday's events fresh in their minds. They will know the president stands accused by his own former fixer of breaking the law to win the White House.

It wasn't just a bad day for Trump, it was a historically awful day for the presidency.

The day that Bubba Clinton was impeached was a rather dark day for the presidency.

Oh! The Drama! If anything it is a dark time for America where selective and political prosecutions are passed off as justice.

>>It wasn’t just a bad day for Trump, it was a historically awful day for the presidency.

It was a bad day for freedom. Now we know that the Progressive Left will stop at nothing to overturn an election they disagree with. If we had a Doomsday Clock for civil war like the atomic scientists use for nuclear war, it would have moved 2 minutes closer to midnight yesterday and would now stand at 11:59.

Until something shiny next month becomes the biggest thing ever. These people have shouted “We’ve got him now!” so many times I’ve quit counting.

“In other words, Trump cheated to win the White House, according to one of his closest former associates.”

Yeah, Trump should have fessed up to boinking Women, and paying his lawyer to silence them. Hillary spends 14,000,000 to Russians to write the “Piss Dossier”, and that’s perfectly fine.

He knows this because that is what was written on the fax from Media Matters.
They know everything.

Cohen is clearly tipped over and will talk about every bit of dirt he can to save his skin.

There are also all the taped conversations, etc. that were confiscated.

Likely more to come. The issue will be whether these crimes rise to the level of impeachment by the House.

Clearly, this fall’s election is momentous.
