Davis counseled Cohen to avoid this for a reason, and I doubt that reason was for Cohen's best interests.

The Obama DOJ handed out inmmunity like candy at Halloween. That’s water over the dam.
“Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech”
In mid-October 2106, polls showed that Trump was almost certain to lose.
Trump was really buying the right to speak clearly on political matters.
Trump had the Constitutional right to try to speak without getting drowned out by a blond strident strumpet enraged after discovering a hotel bed wasn’t a casting couch for a Trump television program.
Political speech should be the most highly protected form of speech.
The payments to Trump’s shady ladies amounted in total to about 1/3000th of total campaign spending for Hillary Clinton.

Trump was relying on his state-licensed lawyer for legal expertise. The lawyer could have walked down Fifth Avenue and probably raised the needed funds in small amounts. In the PPACA case, the Supreme Court said the Supreme Court could have imposed a tax instead of a mandate penalty. The Supreme Court should give President Trump a pass just like it gave a pass to President Obama.
“Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom...of the press”
The Trump campaign was the second largest press organization in America in 2016.
If it choose to source information from the Russian government, it had the Constitutional right to do so.
Was that 1% that was privileged just privileged between Cohen and Trump, or did the court respect Cohen's privilege with ALL of his other clients, too, before turning over documents?
I wonder how it was leaked that Hannity was a client of Cohen's, unless Cohen-Hannity privileged documents were turned over?
Generally speaking, wouldn't one think that a majority of documents in a lawyer's office is privileged communication between the lawyer and some client, and not just 1% of documents?

Is there no recourse or accountability for the lies and slander? Why does the media get a pass on printing lies? This needs to be addressed.
Why hasn’t Miss Daniels’ California lawyer been charged too?
the radio coverage last few hours are now stating-— that the “candidate” according to court documents... is Donald Trump.
WHAT court documents? This is a Plea deal that was stated as saying “A candidate”... not Trump. The clinton machine caught that error by ole Lanny the fixer Davis and corrected the press releases. WHY- because “ a candidate” could very will have been Hitlery’s campaign—maybe WAS, and Cohen paid to pay off a porn star.... TO SET TRUMP UP for it. Since the “invoices” to Trump (to be reimbursed?) don’t say that they are for this purpose... only “services”. Plus Cohen has lied about this in public repeatedly— (as in ‘he never expected Trump to reimburse him, etc.).
This has Clinton’s greasy slimy hands... all over it. And, if a reverse set up (with Cohen and Trump coordinating it)- it SETS UP .... Hitlery! for the actual charge of campaign finance law violations (since her payment would be from her campaign.... YES!!).
The worm turns continuously. Lot of disinformation. Levin covered this rather well last night on Hannity. Trump is in the clear.
Cohen had virtually no other clients but Trump. The vast bulk of his documents related to non-legal matters (including his taxi business).
I wonder how it was leaked that Hannity was a client of Cohen's, unless Cohen-Hannity privileged documents were turned over?
Hannity himself was the one who publicly claimed he was Cohen's client. It turned out that they had had a few phone calls, but nothing was ever put into writing; there wasn't even a retained agreement between them.
Generally speaking, wouldn't one think that a majority of documents in a lawyer's office is privileged communication between the lawyer and some client, and not just 1% of documents?
Like I said, Cohen was in the taxi business, not the law business, except for some work for Trump and the Trump Organization. And even some of that work was non-legal in nature.
The prosecutor's Information identified "Individual-1" as someone who "subsequently became President of the United States," so that doesn't leave too many options.
Changes nothing— a “subsequent President” can pay with his own money for a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be made. Doesn’t violate any campaign laws. As the former Director of the campaign law oversight agency has made very clear. The laws haven’t changed. And for clintoon’s peeps to be making this kind of crapola “plea” means they are “making up law” with the help of the clintooonian judge (and former horizontal dancer of Billy boy clinton’s- one of many) Kimba Wood (another clinton crony).
the entire process is a set up. fortunately Rudy knows all the actors... esp. kimba rhumba bumba. so tired of this crap.
The text of the plea deal is here:
https://www.scribd.com/document/386758387/386756075-Michael-Cohen-Plea-Agreement
Cohen shorted the IRS by about $1.5 million.
The plea deal doesn’t bind Cohen’s city or state.
Having one client, not dispositive of anything. If that client is wealthy, with numerous business interests worldwide, an attorney could not perform to the standard of “zealous advocacy” if he had other clients. Or worse, was mandated to bring them in himself.
Not so unusual.
More fodder for the media to use in their admitted coordinated attacks on the President.
That scribd document describes how Cohen made the income upon which tax wasn’t paid - an interest spread - Cohen borrowed low ~5% and lent high 12%+.
Cohen allegedly failed to inform banks about a line of credit apparently.
The document uses the term “prevent them from influencing the election”.
Counts 7 and 8 were the only ones about campaign financing. And a guilty plea is not an adjudication of a court even though the feral media and Davis are acting like it is.
Wikipedia states his graduated from Yale Law
VILE AGENTS OF THE DEEP STATE!!!!
What’s the consequences for the campaign financing violations?
