The old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together" certainly seems true of Trump and his gang. Cohen is only one of a dozen or more Trump associates who have been indicted, plead guilty, or under investigation. His former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, his former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates, his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer, all now been convicted of felonies. He has 4 cabinet members leave under an ethical cloud . To think Trump has no involvement and knows nothing is being pretty naive.
Conservatives argue that what we see now is just democrats out to get Trump. However, that does not explain the 30 years of investigations, charges, and lawsuits. In the 70's, there there was violations of the Fair Housing Act. He was represented by the infamous Roy Cohn, a now disbarred lawyer who was known for shady legal practices and being a close friend of Trump. In the 80's, New York City brought him to court for using unethical tactics to force out tenants. In 88, the Justice department had in court for illegal stock deals. In the 90's his outrageous behavior resulted in a series of defamation lawsuits. He was also fined by New Jersey for illegal Casino operations. Sex related criminal cases from child rape to molestation were filed but later dropped. In 2000, he was charged with violation of state lobbying laws. In 2001, he was charged by the SEC for with inaccurate fillings and misleading statements about properties. In 2013, he was sued by the State of New York for defrauding students at Trump University. In the 30 years prior to his presidency, Donald Trump amassed over 3000 lawsuits about half being instigated by Trump mostly over business matters. However, the rest were filed mostly by investors, home owners, and government claiming violation of civil ordinances, fraud, and illegal business practices.
He’s the President, not on trial as a mobster. You lost. Deal with it.
