Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled!

“Cohen’s pardon is on the way.”

F that. I hope Cohen rots.

Keep swinging for the fences, Mr. President. Your base understands exactly what’s going on and we have your back.

While you’re at it, can you order DOJ to release the names of all members of Congress who’ve had payouts to settle sexual harrassment claims from the slush fund paid for by American taxpayers?

“...this guy is the biggest backstabber yet!...”
Nope. IMHO, he’s the 2nd biggest with Sessions in first place by a large margin.

Well that’s exactly what liberal Constitutional professor Alan Dershowitz says. Trump has committed no crime concerning the two golddigging women. No crime, in any way, shape or form. Suffice to say Dershowitz is not invited on CNN and PMSNBC. He’s ignored. His thoughts on Trump never brought up. How are they going to call probably the best Constitutional lawyer in the country an idiot? They can’t. So the mention of his name is off-limits.

Well, that’s different. The peas-I mean taxpayers-are supposed to pay off sexual abuse allegations. Everyone that sexual- abuse-allegation-ed us was a taxpayer, after all. They did it. Let them solve it.

The whole world has gone crazy.

If I plead guilty to eating a peanut butter sandwich, can the judge sentence me to prison?

Doesn't there have to be some statute quoted in the court documents?

Anyone remember John “No Fat Girls With Cancer” Edwards?

Scumbag trial lawyer buddies of Edwards paid his mistress (and mother of his bastard) several millions of dollars, flew her around on a jet to escape reporters, and put her up in a mansion.

The FEC ruled this was not an illegal campaign contribution.

The Bush DOJ tried to convict him anyway, failed, and ultimately agreed that the law was that hush money paid — even by a third party — with a mixed purpose (like avoiding pissing off Edward’s wife) was not illegal.

Half the people (and news outlets) now claiming Trump is guilty protected Edwards.
