Gee made sure to bring up the arrest of Michael Cohen, an attorney for Trump for more than a decade, in 2018. Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison and was ordered to pay a $50,000 fine for tax evasion.
“But one of the things he was guilty of was campaign finance violations, which stemmed from what happened with Stormy Daniels,” Gee continued. “So if you have sex with a porn star, that’s really nobody’s business.
However, if you pay that porn star to keep quiet about it so that you can win an election, and reimburse yourself for that payment, and then lie about the whole thing while your own attorney, Michael Cohen, goes to jail for that very thing.
If Michael Cohen goes to jail and there is a connection to you, then you, my friend, have to go to jail. It’s not rocket science.”
While many in the GOP have come to Trump’s defense, including Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence and the super PAC MAGA Inc., Ron DeSantis — the current governor of Florida and a well-rumored candidate to run for president in 2024 — used the opportunity to distance himself from Trump further.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just can’t speak to that,” DeSantis said, according to CBS News.
Only one president has ever been arrested while in office: Ulysses S. Grant in 1872 for excessive speeding on his horse and buggy. Alexander Hamilton was once charged with initiating a duel and killing a man, but those charges were dropped.
“What has happened now with former President Trump imploring his supporters to protest, protest, protest, is there are a lot of people in law enforcement who are really worried about what could potentially happen, given Jan. 6,” said Ursula Reutin, co-host of The Gee and Ursula Show.
“It makes me sad that Donald Trump has so many people that back him, that support him, no matter what he says,” Gee responded. “I actually have empathy for those people. Here’s where I have the biggest problem.
The amount of people that get paid. They get paid, and they know Donald Trump is not telling the truth. It is such a moneymaker. They know about the truth about Donald Trump, but they don’t want to do that because it takes away from their paychecks and/or their ratings.
Members of the Republican party are even attempting to stave off any ideas of protesting, including Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official, and Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the House, arguing it would be wise to stay home.
“There is a shrinking percentage of Americans who are buying what Trump is selling,” said Andrew ‘Chef’ Lanier, the show’s producer. “And he tried to sell something this weekend.
The pillar of his re-election campaign is they are coming after me. And if they can come after me, they’re going to come after you. Well, he released that news. And it was pretty much crickets amongst his support.”
Cohen recently spoke with Fox News, claiming he expects Trump to have his mugshot taken and be fingerprinted and swabbed. However, he also stated he does not expect Trump to be in handcuffs out of respect for the institution of the presidency.
“I will never surrender, and you will never surrender,” Trump said in a video last Friday about the investigation.

It is a good thing this turd is no Rocket Scientist.
“So if Gee had sex with his mother, the porn star, that’s really nobody’s business." - fixed it
“I spit some Beechnut in that dude’s eye...”
You want the truth about Trump and his non relations with Stormy? Thank Hillary, she set him up.

This guy used to park cars at the Seattle Seahawks training facility. His opinion is worth what?
Apparently that part of his calculus is in dispute.
One problem (of several): Statute of limitations of five years has expired.
“and reimburse yourself for that payment‘
He is a billionaire.
Huh. Gee, I wonder what happens if you put TS/SCI on your server in your bathroom?
That wasn’t rhetorical Gee, I was asking you a question. Pay attention when I’m talking to you.
Gee, if Congress set up a tax- funded account to pay off people accusing Congress members of sexual misconduct, harassment, discrimination….and kept it all secret so they would win reelections…shouldn’t we the taxpayers have access to names and details? I mean, $17 MILLION taxpayer dollars of hush money is not exactly a “ legal” expense or an “ office” expense.
How did they claim this “ benefit” on their taxes?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
You got that right.
“Gee Scott: Trump ‘has to go to jail”
Because he dares to speak and think differently than democrats. Democrats just can’t have such people running around loose. So naturally, such people have to go to jail.
Bkmk

LMAO! That is exactly what I was thinking!
Looks like Gee has never heard of an NDA.
.
Another person who needs to read Jonathan Turley’s take down of this nonsense.
The hypocrisy of the "By Any Means Necessary" Party knows no bounds.
I’m beginning to smell a master troller at work. What if there is no indictment? What if there never was going to be an arrest? Who started this media frenzy? Who got all the support rallied around him? Who finally stepped forth and promptly shot himself in both feet?
Gee Scott, I seem to remember turning his voice off ages ago.
