His lawyer was none other than Lanny Davis, good friend to the Clintons, and good friend to Sean Hannity.

How much time does he get for violating Attorney / Client Privilege?

That means Cohen can hope for a pardon from the next Democrat President.

It's only 42 months, he'll be out on early release before Trumps first term is over.

“Cohen deceived the voting public by hiding alleged facts that he believed would have had a substantial effect on the election”.

(I better go read the memo lol) - but, what Cohen believed is immaterial. The reality is, news of Natl Enquirer’s purchase of McDoogal’s story was published by the WSJ days before the election. Since any ‘substantial effect’ was therefore baked into the election results a week later, I doubt the addition of another stripper would have added any further influence on the vote.

A woman (post election morphing into two with the addition of CPL) claiming a one-night stand 20 years prior, (and so affronted by it she pursued phone friendships with him to seek further advantage) brought little more than a shrug from those who voted for a known playboy, same as Hillary trotting out Miss Piggy the Mob Doll. The massive attendance at Trump rallies proved that out.

Hillary attacking Trump for being a ‘puppet’ of Russia influenced the election far more than any other factor. I’m not buying that Trump suddenly panicked over an election he wasn’t sure he would win to begin with - or over two hookers. Mueller’s team can try to convince us otherwise with their wording but that’s the bald truth of the matter - we didn’t want Hillary.

Yes it’s a huge stretch. But even mentioning VOTERS, proves this is 100% political.

Hopefully, Mueller will be joining him.

Wrong. He’ll take every state he won in 2016, plus NH and MN.

BTW, if Coulter is your source you’re in deep trouble. Remember she was pushing Minion early on in 2012.

This “woe is me” due to a standard midterm loss is strange. Richard Nixon, in his incredible 1972 landslide, only brought with him 26 seats.

Reagan lost about 26 in 1982, and Rs were nowhere near control of the House. Today they are 22 seats away, with 23 seats decided by under 2 points.

Virtually all those (except maybe CA) will be back in GOP hands in 2020 if the Ds don’t do something positive (i.e., NOT blocking Trump) in their two years.

A better gauge is the senate, where the Rs gained a net 3 and but for a bad candidate in AZ would have had 4. The difference between the governor race and the senate race in OH and AZ says that we should have, in fact, had 5.

No, I’m the source. Ann happens to agree with me and I’m never wrong. If Trump wants a second term(I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t) and wants to save America from a 1000 years of darkness, he better do something quickly about illegal & legal immigration(wall, birthright citizenship, end chain migration, deport 50 million illegal aliens and their demoncrat-voting anchor baby demon spawn) and DRAIN THE FARGIN SWAMP(restore the rule of law—hang hundreds on the national mall, 1000s in prison for life, fire every hillary voting apparatchik in the fed govt., and ban unions).

He’ll lose 5-10% of his 2016 vote on the lack of progress on those 2 things alone. The dems will have MILLIONS more illegals and anchor babies(illegals) voting for them not to mention a thoroughly oiled vote fraud scheme.

Mueller - “I asked him to lie for me...he turned out to be a great liar and told some whoppers that were less than helpful....dirty liar needs to be locked up...”
