This Moron Cohen has alreadyublicly said he paid the sluts out of his pocket and the payments never came from any campaign .
This is Lanny the Evil Clintonite Davis twisting the facts for the Dem media .

This will die off too .

The Dem media including Drudge have killed this story and no one cares .

I have learned that Drudge hates Trump and pushes nothing but Fake News .
I consider Drudge as the enemy now too .

I don’t quite get this. Wasn’t Cohen an attorney of Trump’s? Is his revealing dirt of a client not illegal?

Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen testifies Trump told him to commit a crime

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified on Tuesday that Trump directed him to commit a crime by arranging payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.

IF the affair happen a decade ago. Why was it brought up at the time of the election. Someone tip off about it, to screw up the election. Who remembers what all took place ten years ago, in their life.

Is it influencing an election when Youtube, twitter, and facebook collude to downthrottle, restrict, ban, and otherwise censor news that hurts the MSM and DNC’s false narratives?

But it’s perfectly OK for Clintons to threaten women, disappear their pets, and perhaps add names to the body count list to further their election chances.

illegals voted and they influenced the election. This is utter insane how the criminal Clinton is walking around free, and no one is doing a damn thing about her.

Thank Jeff Sessions for that and for this hoax investigation going on as long as it has. Trumps #1 mistake was hiring that piece of garbage.

You mean that Trump did exactly what all the senators and reps did over the past years to hush up their sin?

Oh, golly!

If campaign money was not used, it’s not a crime. Assuming Trump used his own funds, claiming that use of your own money to “influence” an election means buying a nice suit with your own money to influence voters on the campaign trail is a “campaign” expenditure. Trump would have also wanted these women out of the picture for business image reasons, not just running for office. Finally, Mark Levin just said the prosecution let Cohen plead to self-described “illegal” campaign spending, even though these “crimes” have not been adjudicated (meaning they are not demonstrated even criminal yet). Mark says Cohen probably got off a bunch of other tax violations by pleading to unproven “illegalities” to drag Trump’s name into the conclusions about Cohen. I am thinking Trump must have cancelled checks to show he paid for the ND agreements, to reimburse Cohen, remember one of Cohen’s TAPES of Trump saying he wanted “checks” used. Levin’s coming up on Hannity at 9:30 E, should be good.

Me thinks a good prosecutor would be looking into extortion charges!

By saying this, he took the issue off the table for the Dems because there will be no further charges against him, no messy public trial where Trump and his family would be dragged thru the mud, and NO DISCOVERY. They think they won, but they lost, as usual, to Trump.

In essence, Cohen took the deal that was best for BOTH of them.

Loretta Lynch instructed Comey to refer to the HRC invetigation as “a matter” to influence an election.

Donna Brazile gave HRC debate questions in advance to influence an election.

JayZ performed a concert for free for HRC, an in-kind campaign contribution, to influence an election.

The list could go on and on.
