As I understand it, this is being construed as an illegal campaign contribution in excess of legal limits.

That's the only way I can see the potential construct of a crime...but FR legal analysts please weigh in.

I posted this because it was apparent nobody else would.

Paying someone money to sign a non-disclosure agreement is a crime? Then there are a lot of unindicted criminals in every industry in this country.

So we are supposed to be surprised that women throw themselves at billionaires?

Well the women are guilty of a crime, at least blackmail used to be a crime. Both need to be in jail

I heard Gregg Jarrett tonight explain that the money paid out (leaving aside that money which was taken out as a loan by Cohen under false pretenses) was for the benefit of Trump’s campaign because not paying would damage the Trump Campaign.... in Gregg’s opinion was a wild stretch....but also on the heals of the Access hollywood tape... everyone was certain that would be end of Trumps campaign...yet he went on to win.

He’s now a convicted felon, with a grudge.

Even if true, it wasn’t illegal, nor a crime.

Illegal contribution? Illegal to who?

Trump self-financed his campaign for the post part.

Also, what kind of BS is this?

Cohen did not name Trump in court, but his lawyer, Lanny Davis, said afterward that he was referring to the president.

I think this is Lanny Davis talking up a false victory for democrats. This will not stop POTUS from destroying the democrat leadership.

Thing about the Clinton’s is they never paid a dime of hush money.

They paid thugs (sheriff’s deputies, etc...) to threaten and intimidate and sometimes kill their enemies.

The very idea they let Webb Hubble live is somewhat mind blowing. But, after all, Webb is Chelsea’s Dad.

What a great name for a race horse, Chelsea’s Dad.

All you need to know about this is that weaselly little shyster, lawyer Cohen would flip his own grandmother to keep his ass out of jail. That’s all this is about.

Doesn’t Congress have a slush fund just for this ‘problem’? Paying off women for sexual discrimination/harassment.

Lanny Davis is Cohen’s “lawyer”? What, was Podesta and Hillary busy with fundraisers or something?

What crime?

Lanny Davis is a long time Clinton associate and operative.

“If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen, then why wouldn’t they be a crime for Donald Trump?” Davis said.

Why did you tell your client that it was a crime and advise him to plead guilty?

Campaign finance is an impeachable offense just like:

The hard core leftists will eat this crap up, but most other Americans have had enough of this. I knew Trump was no Boy Scout when I voted for him, but unlike JFK, LBJ and Bubba, this president hasn’t used the White House for any sexcapades nor used the power of his office to procure women. What Donald Trump did in his personal life before the presidency doesn’t matter to me, and it’s obvious as our 45th president he’s too damn busy saving the country to do anything else in the Oval Office. I think most reasonable, common sense thinking Americans feel the same way too.

The mind reels at the stupid hiring decisions on display here.

Trump hires Cohen who hires Lanny Davis?
