Cohen Implicates Trump In Campaign Violations

This makes me smile https://politicalwire.com/2018/08/21/cohen-implicates-trump-in-campaign-violations/

Michael Cohen said in court that he committed federal campaign finance violations in coordinating payments to two women — Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal — “at the direction of a candidate for federal office,” Bloomberg News reports.

Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a bank and two campaign finance violations.

“Cohen was shaking head and appeared to be holding back emotions as judge reviews possible sentence. Cohen faces a likely prison sentence of 46 to 63 months, the judge said.”

Cohen just implicated Trump in court for felony campaign violations. Wow!

In a normal case, prosecutors would now charge Trump, they would have no choice.

Michael Cohen could have been directed by any candidate for federal office to pay off Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal from campaign funds. You libruls are always banging on about women's lib and stuff - maybe it was Hitlery who directed Cohen to do that! Lock her up! Arrest my case.

Oh, and thanks to gratuitous for letting me use his account.
