Wow, this sounds like truly nothing, but I’m sure the mainstream media will love any excuse to blare “TRUMP” and “CRIMINAL” in the same headline.

They used to control the courtroom of public opinion before the internet. They are learning the hard way that they no longer control that one, and they don’t have what it takes to prevail in a real courtroom.

So here we are.

All this does is make Trump make like he’s being unfairly prosecuted and pump his numbers among the non-rabid left up.

The longer Trump holds on that ars Sessions, the longer Trump will face impeachment. Trump has a choice and so far he has made the wrong one. NY is the second communists capitol of America, with California first. He cannot stop the State bringing cases against him. Trump is on the way out. Sorry to feel that way but said a longtime ago fire Sessions, Rosenstein, and close Mueller down. He failed.

So the accusation is....

Trump paid the money (his own account)? It was recorded as a legal fee. Was it a tax deduction? Then they are going to charge him for it not being a legal fee? Fraud? Tax evasion?

What a joke.

A state investigation would center on how the company accounted for its reimbursement to Mr. Cohen for the $130,000 he paid to the actress, Stephanie Clifford

Uh, I think that falls in the category of legitimate legal services. The standard is whether a reasonable businessperson would regard it as a necessary cost of doing business. Settlements of claims to forestall ruinous litigation costs is always a reasonable business expense.

Manhattan is Trump’s home turf and any case brought against him by the D.A. would be made up of jurors from Manhattan.

A home town jury is almost always good.

Wow, 4D chess works! </s> The long knives will now begin carving up his Business and family, in state court where he has no pardon power.

Now just how is Sessions secret plan going to work again?

Sadly, I fear you are right. Pres. Trump has been listening to the wrong people from the beginning. And, he should have fired a lot of people his very first day in office, just as Clinton did! But I will be forever grateful to President Trump for the things he has been able to do.

Clinton beat Trump in Manhattan by 76 points in 2016.

Limbaugh opened his program today wringing his hands over this.

So negative these days—I’m looking for something else to occupy my time between noon and 3:00 PM.
