Is Cohen a Russian spy now? Even more ridiculous. Idiots. This is the “paper of record”? No wonder Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes is the future of the Democratic Party.
I’ve been reading McCullough’s Truman. There was a man of some substance. It’s utterly tragic how the DNC went off the rails a few decades ago, and is now careening off a cliff. Give ‘em hell, Donald.
Grab a handful of swamp mud and smell it, you’ll see. The snakes stink 24/7. I’ve killed many of them. So do the rest of the vermin in the swamp.
Consider Mueller’s devious cunning: he handed off the Cohen matter to the US Attorney in New York, so he can claim some distance from the activities — and possibly avoid facing ethics charges for prosecutorial misconduct.
Prosecutors are under an ethical obligation to advise defendants of exculpatory evidence and information. Having Cohen plead guilty to campaign finances violations (making hush money payments to two women seeking to publicize sexual affairs with Trump) without using campaign funds is extremely problematic. As was seen in the case of former US Senator and presidential candidate John Edwards, using private funds to pay off a mistress is not violative of campaign finance and campaign disclosure laws. It is stretching the truth to say that this was a campaign violation and the prosecutor ought to know this.
This is all about conflating the facts to get Trump and the prosecutors who permitted this ought to be disciplined for misconduct.
I am merely commenting on the hush money subject. Cohen’s other business dealings may be the subject of prosecution for breaking the law.
Absolutely. And not only did the New York u.s. attorney’s office prosecute, and solicit cooperation from, someone for a crime that doesn’t exist, if the judge went along with it, what does that say?
How can a judge allow a defendant to be charged, prosecuted and sentenced for a made-up crime?
This is unbelievable misfeasance, if not malfeasance.
