Cohen: Trump told me to pay off women to influence the election

President Trump’s personal fixer Michael Cohen admitted in court Tuesday that he paid two women hush money — “at direction of the candidate,” a clear reference to Trump — to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Trump’s name was not uttered but the implication was clear as Cohen admitted he cut a $150,000 check in 2016 to protect “the candidate.”

“On or about summer 2016, in coordination and with and at the behest of the candidate, I and the CEO of a media company worked together to keep an individual with information that would be harmful to the candidate from publicly disclosing this information … under which she received compensation of $150,000,” Cohen said in Manhattan federal court.

Bag Job
1.Person with a sexually appealing body but ugly face. Said a sexual encounter would only be possible by placing a paper bag on their head, hence the term ‘bag job’. See also butterface and prawn.
1.I’d f___ Trish, but she would have to be a bag job.

They need to redo the Miranda Rights to where it is explained that anything you say to your attorney will be used against you in a court of law as well.

pathetic if this is all Mueller has

a forced confession to something that does not prove PDJT did any crimial act whatsoever (even if the claim is accurate)

just another feeble attempt at more smear tactics

when O WHEN will PDJT end this Sessions/Mueller/Rosenstein farce (and misuse of process, violations of American citizens’ rights)

unless he handed over cash, there is a paper/electronic trail someplace, and if that trail leads to before Trump declared, he committed NO crime

Hillary LOST even after the DNC-CNN-and-Clinton-team cheated to steal her the primary nomination.

“WOW you mean so a candidate would not want some one night stand with a whore to come out during an election”

No, a candidate and/or candidates attorney would not want someone even alleging a one night stand during an election, even if not true.

No, I am afraid it's not their best, but a shadow of what's to come. Mueller's goal is to depose Trump however he can do it, and this is how he will. The Russian collusion fantasy nonsense goes nowhere, and everyone knows that. Mueller hired rabid partisans, like Strzok, and financial analysists to comb through all of Trump's business affairs and tax returns back to the beginning of time. In the end, he will issue a report or make criminal referrals against Trump and his family for any number of supposed criminal offenses, like he did Manafort, based on "Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime". None of this will have anything to do with Russia, but that was never the point anyway.

What will follow is a constitutional crisis of the first order. Faced with such obvious partisan persecution, and mindful of the double standard applied to the Clintons and the Democrats, Trump might be urged to something extraordinary, like pardoning himself and anyone loyal to him caught up in this.

“Bimbo eruptions” from the Clinton campaign come to mind.

If only to highlight that Donald Trump paid handsomely to the women he had flings with unlike Bill Clinton, who had his wife destroy them.

Americans don’t care about this.

These are nuisances.

Michael’s a good guy and he’s getting his hand slapped.

All this will be forgotten by Friday even if CNN blasts it 24/7 for weeks.

Ironically, Stormy only got 70 cents on the dollar that Obama would have paid one of the guys who gave him a blow job.

Obama’s team was PAYING voters on election night and the media knew.

But walking around money is apparently different.

I guess the Deep State is going to win. I wonder what if anything Sessions will do now? Yeah, Nothing. I wonder what they have on Sessions, it must be pretty extreme?
