Nanker Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 "Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion; one count of making false statements to a financial institution; one count of willfully causing an unlawful corporation contribution; and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-cohen-plea-deal-details-today-2018-08-21/ Putting this here because it's glomming up the other thread about Manafort's First Trial in which he was found guilty of fraud, etc for crimes he committed dating from 2011 through 2014 which is before he ever had a relationship with Trump.

He's been working with Trump for over a decade. If you saw Cohens lawyer on the networks last night, he is saying Cohen has the dirt and can't want to sing like a canary. Literally saying he wants to bury Trump. I'll find link https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/08/22/lanny-davis-michael-cohen-trump-russia-hacking-new-day-vpx.cnn Lanny Davis, the attorney representing President Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen, suggests that his client may have knowledge implicating Trump in Russia's alleged hacking of Democratic emails.

Tiberius Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Quote On MSNBC on Tuesday evening, Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis made his client’s feelings plain: "Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows."

BeginnersMind Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The president's fixer is going to talk. Cohen will be able to pull in witnesses, and provide documentary support. I don't know where this is going but isn't good for Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Quote If the accusations are true, Trump will have committed a crime, should be impeached and, after leaving office, prosecuted. The framers surely would agree that committing a crime in order to obtain the presidency falls in the category of “High Crimes & Misdemeanors.” This is not a prediction of what will occur, but what should follow from our constitutional system. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/08/22/what-you-may-have-missed-in-the-cohen-plea/?utm_term=.0924507f8b57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already talked and the best he could offer was coping to a violation which they could juice up with spicy (and legally meaningless) language to control a news cycle for a few days. The he amount of "this time they got Trump" on display is hilarious. You'd think y'all would have learned your lessons by now to stop trusting the reporting of mindless partisans pushing a narrative... But nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even a criminal offense, but rather a civil offense. And that's if Trump is even guilty, because his campaign was almost entirely self-funded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you guys will try and minimize it all to hell, "Who cares about laws?" Would he have won if he wasn't shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars in hush money? We can never say for sure, but we know Trump thought he couldn't, or he wouldn't have paid out that money. 1 minute ago, 3rdnlng said: Anyone who hires Lanny Davis as their attorney has no facts on his side but needs a filthy partisan to make up a bunchofshit.

oldmanfan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 We will see. For those of you trying to write this off as nothing against the president think again. If Cohen and/or Manafort have material they can trade to provide evidence about whatever went on with the Russians, odds are they'll use it. As I keep saying, let the investigation run its course.

I'm sorry...did I vividly hallucinate Trump himself saying that Don Jr. met with Russian intelligence in Trump tower, and that he knew about it but the information "wasn't good" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/giuliani-trump-tower-meeting-was-originally-for-the-purpose-of-getting-information-about-clinton/ar-BBM7LgG If you want to say that it didn't have an effect, and that Trump would have won anyway...fine. But come on, how much more evidence do you need that Trump is a lying con? He lied repeatedly about what the Russia meeting was about, his campaign manager has been convicted of bank and election fraud and his personal lawyer paid off prostitutes.
