What a nightmare for T-rump! Cohen pleading guilty to 8 counts including violating campaign laws, bank fraud and tax fraud.
Cohen said he paid off women with hush money under the direction of T-rump.
Cohen surrendered today at the Manhattan FBI office where he signed off on paperwork and talked for a few hours.
His sentencing is set for December 12.
Giuliani is trying to spin this as usual.
shareWhat gets me is how the Trumpanzees start blubbering, beating their chests and saying: "Deeerrrrrr!!!! I don't care what he did before he was president! Those affairs were ancient history!".
They don't seem to grasp the concept that being president doesn't somehow insulate him from being charged for crimes he committed before his presidency. And, the fact that they see to WANT him to is unnerving and quite telling.
Then again, we're talking about the same group of people who defend every single action of Trump's with "Well, such and such did all that stuff TOO, you know!".
Lanny Davis was on THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW just now (what a catch she has for this evening!). Davis said Cohen has a lot of information that Mueller is interested in. He wouldn't say what, or what his deal is with Mueller...but he certainly stated that he's willing to work with Mueller.
shareAwesome!
See, THIS is how you can tell for sure Trump is guilty: If he were innocent, he'd be cooperating with Mueller--ESPECIALLY now that Cohen is on board with these accusations. If Cohen was just a liar and Trump was innocent then Trump wouldn't be so quick to slam Mueller while acting how he is about Cohen. Notice he never says much about Cohen. He said a lot about others but never has much to say at all about Cohen. Cohen has always received the least of Trump's tweetstorms and public bashing. And THIS is how you tell Trump is guilty: he would be bashing the hell out of Cohen while eagerly requesting to meet with Mueller to set the record straight and clear himself. Instead, he treats Mueller like an adversary and surrounds himself with lawyers while having very little to publicly say about Cohen. This is a guilty man trying not to p!ss Cohen off.
Cohen and Omarosa are both a threat but Trump seems to have a special silence about Cohen. Cohen is the money handler. The money--that's what we've always speculated could sink Trump--that money.
“Follow the money...”
