Cohen didn’t even say that. That’s what the lying, enemy of the people, filthy deranged media said.
Cohen never literally said “Trump told me to make an illegal campaign contribution.”
He said that he was acting with the “coordination and direction.”
In other words, If Trump said, “Let’s just get an NDA” That is NOT a direction to “commit a crime” rather a direction.
Trump doesn’t control the manner in which Cohen accomplishes the directive.
The lying, enemy of the people, media simply put their own spin on what Cohen said.
Yep, and some did it better than others, I believe NorDUH O'Donnell did it best on CBS "This Morning" as she screeched that Trump ordered Cohen to commit high crimes and misdemeanors and should be impeached immediately.
