Exhibit #999,999 for Mueller.
Forgot to add, Cohen said the money came from his own personal funds because he loved the boss that much!
Make than an even "broke the orange baboon's back" million!

(5,810 posts)since his bowels are in an uproar over this whole mess. He created a monumental problem for himself and a lot of others who came into his campaign and administration and the consequences are starting to be apparent to anyone who is paying attention. The uninformed and uninterested can stay blissfully ignorant of this as long as they only watch Fox but sooner or later even they will find out that their man is a liar and a cheat. And an ex-President.
