“I don’t have any reason not to believe him, so there is nothing Cohen and Manafort can do to implicate him. Any criminal charges they get hit with are due to their own malfeasance, and the trouble they are in are their own fault. The President owes them nothing in that regard. “
Manafort was a two-time “not enough evidence to prosecute” sh!t bird.
Were it not for Trump, the DOJ would not have given him a third look.
Cohen was a two-bit lawyer used to pay off whores.
Were it not for Trump, nobody in DOJ would have known his name.
Flynn was a highly respected general and nation security expert.
Were it not for Trump, he would still be.
All of the 3 named above were prosecuted BECAUSE they have a relationship with POTUS.
Yes, Trump owes them a get out of jail free card.
But if not for doing something illegal there would have been nothing to charge them with. Mueller is trying to implicate Trump by association. The President is guilty of nothing other than picking some unsavory people to associate with. And that may be poor judgement but it certainly isn't illegal.
