Who in NY is going to do the prosecuting?
Not the SDNY, which hates Trump.
Not the NY AG of the time , who hated Trump, and who has resigned and since been replaced by a radical Democrat who has pledged to go after Trump and his entire family.
From what I can see, Cohen may not even have told Trump who the payment was for beforehand. He submitted an invoice for his retainer, and added the $130,000 advanced to buy Daniels' silence as a matter of business, and sent same to Trump for reimbursement.
You better believe that both Daniels and Cohen will be sued by Trump: Daniels for breach of the NDA, and Cohen for failing in his duties as an attorney for Trump.
Neither of those two deserve an ounce of pity.
