He still can’t make the authorities punish him if he is given a pardon. They will simply make him go away and stop bothering them.

Hillary takes care of helpers. What she does to those who aren’t helpful...well, that’s all a part of history.

Did you see this?

And you were a Cruz bundler and supporter until the very end on FR. I know that will always make you behind the curve on important matters by default.

Correct. The pardon refusal is under different circumstances, before trial or before appeals are completed. Even if volunteering for punishment, a president could commute the sentence instead and get him out of everyone’s hair.

So since he’ll never work as a lawyer again, who’s paying him to turn on Trump big time?? How much did he sell his soul for?

It makes sense to both worst case and best case this cohen situation.

The worst case is that Trump does have some legal exposure from the payoffs to the ladies and there are tapes to prove it.

The best case is that Trump has no exposure and can turn this to his political advantage

My sense one day after the plea deal is that these are unknowns to the witch hunt media or they would be talking about tapes. My sense also is that these are being brought out now instead of a week before the November election because they are sniping and not backed up by substance.

I expect Giuliani and Sekulow to begin dispelling the by Friday.

If Marc Rich was “pardonable”, then, so can anyone currently under indictment or found guilty under Mueller. Rich’s pardon was a lot more egregious for much bigger crimes.

I wish to announce that I will not accept the Miss Universe award either. It’s equally likely.

No, that’s called loyalty. Look it up in the dictionary. I didn’t switch candidates just because the crowd was yelling at me and demanding I do so. I left Cruz when he suspended his campaign and looked around for another candidate to back. If Trump hadn’t entered the race chances are Cruz would be president and you’d have nothing but good things to say about him.

Of course he won’t get pardon from Trump - why on earth would Trump do that for such a chicken betrayer??? On the other hand, Cohen has already been promised the pardon from Lanny Davis and the Democrat Party. How many lies in one day can Lanny Davis spout?

Somebody please tell me what paying ‘hush’ money to women has to do with campaign contributions.

I think that stuff should stay on the Q threads, not out here on the adult threads.

Like I said, you are on the slow side. You do a nice job on posting articles though.

Cohen is being manipulated. He is being skillfully transformed to become a weapon against President Trump. The same way they weaponized the intelligence community is the same way they are weaponizing him.

It is ironic that the focus here is on campaign finance violations. It certainly turns the focus away from the Clinton Foundation and its money laundering methods of campaign finance. Campaign finance violations? Yes, we need a Special Prosecutor. One that has been chosen without strings to the Deep State. One that President chooses himself—not the Deep State!!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there are people here who don’t support Trump. Some never will. Once my candidate was gone, I landed on Trump. Most of the others were midgets that I just couldn’t see in that office, so the choice wasn’t that difficult. But I didn’t support him to please you or the rest of the people here. Once I’m behind someone I’m behind them until there’s a good reason not to be.

I’ve posted nearly 41,000 articles so I should be pretty good at it by now.
