SoulSkin Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Can anybody tell me why in the blue hell would someone donate to this Michael Cohen Truth Fund Go Fund Me page? He's made $130,000 on it so far. Positive reinforcement, I guess? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that his assets are frozen and Lanny needs to get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get their stories straight in a day or so." But this one? No, they probably won't. They'll just throw out 6 contradictory stories, and their followers will even ignore the fact that the stories contradict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've been saying for, oh, 15 years that the justice system is overly dependent on plea deals that are driven by overcharging that is made terrifying by mandatory sentences. Having said that, Trump's problem with all of this is basically, "Look, we put all this stuff in place to send minorities to prison. It was never meant to touch rich white guys like me."

We need to drop “white collar” and just call them criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the problem, at least one of the people involved, and possibly more than one, agree it was for campaign purposes, and presumably would testify to that fact. And of course, lending weight to the campaign finance violation aspect is that Cohen is not some random guy, he was Trump's fixer. He would presumably know whether this payment was in the normal course of Trump business or if it was campaign related. And he seems to think it was campaign related. Hence the plea.

PleaseBlitz Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Simply the timing of the arrangements make it clear that they were campaign-related expenditures. Trump had a 10-month affair with Karen McDougal in 2006-2007. The agreement to kill her story was signed in August 2016, nearly 10 years after the fact and during the campaign. The timing with Stormy Daniels is nearly exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly he can't be indicted ("the President has not been charged with anything, therefore he did nothing wrong"). Works pretty nicely for him. The thing that needs to be done is to convince 16 to 20 Republican Senators to vote to convict this guy. That's why these things take time.
