Nothing about the payments to 2 bimbos, or the discussion of a never-pursued project to have a Trump development in Russia, should be criminal.
This is gross over-reach by the feds, with the cretinous complicity of Cohen and his slimy Clinton lawyer Lanny Davis.
The Feds were desperate to pad the charges, even if it meant fabricating fake charges. If they'd use a fake dossier to spy on Americans, why wouldn't they create law violations that don't exist?
I think from the day Trump hired Cohen he hired him to fix traffic tickets and pay off bimbos who claimed they had an “affair” with a billionaire playboy by the name of Donald Trump. Cohen is one of the stupidest, incompetent lawyers I’ve ever seen. How in the world did dunce ever got a law license is a mystery. What a rat. Not one thing he was charged with implicated Trump in any way. It certainly had nothing to do with “Russian collusion.” Mueller got him to lie about the president and Mueller didn’t want him to get a day in jail. The Southern District of NY fried his ass for tax evasion. Nothing else.
But if Cohen plead re the payments as campaign finance crimes, it sure sets the table for going after Trump. This is just so very wrong. Lord, the humongous tax evasions were Cohen’s Achilles heel, but all anyone is talking about at the sentencing is his regret for ever having associated with Trump. I knew he was going to be big trouble the day they raided his papers.
