Joe Scarborough has described as a “bribe” the money received by Michael Cohen from AT&T and other companies, and has strongly suggested that Cohen passed some of it to President Trump.
On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough said:
“That was just a direct payoff. That was just a direct bribe. Did that money really go to Cohen? Did it go to Cohen and straight into the President’s pockets?,/B> . . . Where did that money go to? Because I highly doubt Donald Trump would let it sit in Michael Cohen’s account . . . [Trump] is a guy that would shake somebody down for a couple of hundred thousand dollars.”

Does President Trump need to sue Scarborough for slander, or is a tweet storm sufficient?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Note: the “public figure” exception to the laws of defamation makes it more difficult for prominent people to win such suits.
Without a single shred of evidence. My take on all this is that Cohen is the ultimate con-man and told all these corporations that he could work wonders with the President knowing that he had no possible way of delivering on his promise.
Every one sells influence.
But its evil when Republicans do it. Got it, Joe.
Scarborough is taking it a huge step further, strongly suggesting that the money Cohen received went into Trump’s “pockets.”
There is nothing wrong with AT&T hiring Cohen. Joe Biden’s son has been raking in millions for years because of his connection.
Hey Joe, how’d the dead intern wind up in the office?
Wonder how much money the Klausutis family got for Lori’s death in Joe’s office...
Joe Scarborough is a low-life POS. Always has been
How’s that intern, there, Joe, still dead??
But again, Scarborough went way beyond an accusation of influence peddling by Cohen. He strongly suggests that this was a “shakedown” by Trump and that the money Cohen received went into Trump’s “pockets.”
Oh yeah, because everyone knows a Billionaire is slathering over a few hundred thousand bucks!
Trump doesn’t need their stinking money, Joe.
On the other hand, billions of bucks for uranium would go a long way to fill up democrat coffers if you’d just get over your Trump obsession and come back to reality...
Well... at least that puzzle is solved. Joe’s spirit animal is a Chimpanzee, since he just throws poo everywhere.
In true Alinskyness (Re: “accuse others of what you do)... if one were to research, would we soon learn that ALL they accuse President Trump of, Obama and his happy band of wannabe tyrants has already done?
From bribes given (Iran comes to mind) and taken (Uranium comes to mind), to weaponizing federal agencies against citizens, to other rouge actions of those agencies sworn to protect us. Obama/Hillary “protection” of Americans was as in “protection racket”... nuff said!
I "strongly suggest" that Joe killed her because she was gonna drop a dime to the FBI.
More than enough fake news grounds here to pull NBC’s White House press credentials. Suspend them for a month or two, IMO.
Translation: Anyhow, that’s how we dems do it!

First, I doubt Trump needs money from Cohen. 2nd did Scarborough have a problem when the Clinton’s were doing this? If not why?
Look at these holier than thou phonies pretending they’ve never heard of lobbyists. K street lobbyists take money promising they have access. Every day. Cohen does the same thing ... trump should be in jail.
I strongly suggestBanjo Boy had something to do with Lori’s death.
