Regarding the hush money, the alleged crime is making an illegal campaign contribution which is a commonly is dealt with with a fine. Cohen is going to prison for lying about his part in this under oath, not for what he actually did or did not do.It was knowingly and willfully committed as a conspiracy, and the money was not reported. It's a federal crime. Don't believe me? Talk to Cohen. Jr. is next.Trump Said Campaign Finance Violations Aren't a Crime. Experts Say That's 'Nonsensical'Irrelevant! Cohen has nothing to lose other than more jail time. Cohen, Jr, Trump, and Weisselburg were in on the illegal hush payments that were never reported in any financial disclosures. That is a federal crime.The checks were personal, not associated to Trump until Cohen said so. Believe him or not. He's a known liar, so...
What makes this payment that was made for Hush Money "illegal"?
Knowingly and willfully being done, and wasn't reported. That's a federal crime. Cohen is going to prison for it, and Jr. is probably next.
Cohen pleaded guilty to the non-crime.
Riddle me this, batman. What was the LEGAL way of making the hush money payment?
Remember that B. Hussein O paid a quarter million in Hush Money to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in the fall of 2008 so that the theologian would lay low and not sell his story.
There is a legal way, why didn't Cohen suggest to his client what the legal way was.
