I agree and read the article. But if that’s all true (and I guess it’s subject to debate) then why is Cohen going to jail? What Judge would sentence him? He had to have plead guilty to a crime.
That crime was using the campaign funds to pay the women off. It’s not Trumps crime by extension.
Either that or they have a much bigger crime yet to come that Cohen saved his neck from by pleading guilty.
Uh...he lied about his income to keep from paying taxes, he lied to banks to obtain loans, he lied to Congress, and Mueller said he lied to him as well.
Yes,
Cohen plead to the campaign finance payoff in order to wrap a “crime” around Trump — but as the article points out, this was not really crime. But watch how many anti-Trump people get behind the idea that if a judge lets Cohen make this plea, it “must” be a crime and he said Trump helped him. We only have his worthless word for Trump helping, unless he has it on a tape, which is also pretty much unethical behavior on his part.
They have Cohen for tax evasion and he will go to jail for that anyway, so he turned and tried to implicate Trump as a favor so that Mueller could give him a reduced sentence letter (WHICH Mueller did give.)
Its all part of the Get Trump game. I don’t think it will fly, but remember that impeachment does not need a crime if the House is willing to vote for it anyway. But since it is a poor excuse for a “high crime” I doubt they will want to take the huge risk that Trump will survive the trial and be dangerous as hell after that.
