Are You Not Entertained?Cohen Pleads Guilty to Campaign Finance Violations,Manafort Found Guilty..

Tonight is a big night for the left. You know the drill already: “Drumpf isfinished” and similar liberal palaver. They never learn. I have bad news for never-Trumpers though: everything is yet another juicy nothing-burger, as in: Manafort was found guilty for stuff he did years ago, when he was not working for Trump; nothing to do with Russia collusion, but basically bank fraud/tax evasion charges. Period. Full stop.

Part deux: Trump’s shyster lawyer Cohen (who by the way enters history as the first shyster lawyer to admit of recording his client) pleaded guilty for campaign finance violations, and that’s all there is. However, the fake news media is spinning this to keep their base pumped-up. Here’s NBC NEWS:

“ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal jury in Virginia convicted Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, on eight felony counts on Tuesday, but the judge declared a mistrial on the 10 other charges he faced. The trial was the first public test of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, and while the special counsel was vindicated, the victory wasn’t total.”

Trump’s reaction: sad!

Selexctive enforcement by the Swamp injutsice department in an all out attempt to get Trump.

Mueller is just an evil socialist operatchik. I pray for his demise and all those like him to join him in hell

Obama had it right - he had his loyalists spread throughout the DOJ from the start. His fellow-traveller Holder had his back from day one. He even made sure his DOJs were black

Imagine if Trump had a loyal and aggressive Attorney General? NONE of this nonsense would have happened. How the f*** did he get stuck with the pathetic Sessions?

Cohen needs to be disbarred and prosecuted.

He is being prosecuted; he pleaded guilty today. And because he pleaded to felonies, New York law provides for automatic disbarment.

You are not alone. I look at the weasels, and think of Robespierre. Filty, failed Stasi.

I’m still trying to figure out the crime part with Cohens sleazy lawyer Lanny Davis declaring to the fake news media

“Today he (Cohen) stood up and testified under oath that Donald Trump directed him to commit a crime by making payments to two women for the principal purpose of influencing an election,”

What kind of lawyer has this guy got? First off at no time did Cohen mention Trumps name and how the hell is paying off someone to shut their mouth a crime? If I send Hillary 5 bucks to shut her face and she accepts, is that a crime? Congress has a freakin slush fund for shutting up hookers. The only crime I’m seeing here is maybe Stormy the Slut attempted to blackmail Trump?

We also have the indictment of a safe seat in New York for insider trading and the indictment of a safe seat in California for campaign finance abuse.

Expect more selective attacks on House seats via the legal system by Democrats before November; it seems to be their only weapon left.

“Today he (Cohen) stood up and testified under oath that Donald Trump directed him to commit a crime by making payments to two women for the principal purpose of influencing an election,” (My emphasis). BINGO!! Lanny got it wrong. To be illegal the payments wold have had to be for the sole purpose of influencing the election. See Mark Levin's interview on Hannity last night.

Here’s a very recent FR post establishing the legal point that Cohen pled guilty to a non-crime and quotes Mark Levin :
