We will get him THIS time....

I have yet to see a single item from Cohen that damns the President. So much for the pipe dreams of the democrats AGAIN.
What do you mean “this” time? This is still part of the first time.
And yet NOT one thing to damn the President, 3 years of whining crying and foot stomping cause Hillary lost and NOTHING....
Lol other than his top confidants being revealed as felons and his family currently labelled as persons of interest. Remember, in all this time Individual #1 has managed to only answer 2 questions, and those only in writing. Until last month, the GOP controlled all power, and used it to run cover and block any oversight over your dotard. If we get desperate and find ourselves in a 6th, 7th, or even 8th investigation, like you trash heaps did with Benghazi, THEN you can brag that we haven’t found anything. Well, other than all those felony convictions of top Trump people.
Benghazi was about Obama not being very good and Hillary not being the smartest woman in the world. But being promoted as such.

LOL....do you really believe any politician would admit to it?

No, but I would expect any politician who paid a bribe in order to influence the outcome of an election he was involved in to face the consequences of his actions.

What about you?
There are no legal consequences to it except a fine if it is determined by the federal elections commission that the payment was for political and not personal purposes.

This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Liberals grasping at any straw they can find as Cohen sinks them deeper into the abyss. A random check proves his story? Only to the naive or ignorant. Again, learn this, paying a whore to shut up is NOT illegal, o matter how much you cry about it.

That check is far from random; it is directly relevant to Michael Cohen's guilty plea in the matter of hush money. If Trump (Sr, and Jr) knowingly took part in that criminal conspiracy, they will become subject to prosecution.

Stormy Daniels–Donald Trump scandal - Wikipedia

"The Common Cause complaints with the Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission claim that Trump’s campaign violated campaign laws by not publicly disclosing the $130,000 payment to the Federal Election Commission.[15]

"There are also concerns about where the funds originated, and whether they are an illegal or undisclosed in-kind contribution to the campaign.

"However, several members of Trump's legal team have denied the payment was related to the campaign and claimed it was instead aimed at saving Trump's marriage.[30]

"Questions have also been raised about how the payment was classified for tax purposes, and if there is a possibility of tax-based charges or fees relating to the payment...."

"A well established principle of contract law is the offer and acceptance of "consideration" or something of value, in exchange for a promise to do something (or not do something in the case of a non-disclosure agreement).[36]

"Legal experts argue that the $130,000 payment being accepted by one party is valid consideration and enforceable regardless of the unsigned state of the Daniels non-disclosure agreement, but other elements in the Daniels agreement make predicting the outcome difficult. Issues such as the use of pseudonyms and the disclosure exception for law enforcement investigations may favor Daniels's position."

So what? Was he under oath? If it was a lie, as presidential lies go, it is very small stuff. When Obama told the nation he was withdrawing US troops from Iraq because Iraq no longer needed them right after the Pentagon had told him the country would go up in flames that was a lie that should have brought him before the Hague since it was responsible for the creation of ISIS and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq and Syria and made millions more homeless refugees.

"'The difference between a campaign finance violation that is a crime and a campaign finance violation is a civil matter is whether the action was taking knowingly and willfully,' explained Paul S. Ryan, the Vice President of Policy & Litigation at Common Cause, the non-partisan organization that filed complaints with the Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission earlier this year regarding these payments.

"Nevertheless, Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that the violations to which Cohen pleaded guilty weren’t really crimes, noting that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had also dealt with a 'big' campaign finance violation, but it was quickly put to rest.

"In 2013, the FEC did fine then-President Obama’s 2008 campaign $375,000 for failing to report financial paperwork; Politico reported at the time that the fine was among the largest the FEC had ever mandated against a presidential campaign.

"A source familiar with the violation described it as “a pretty low level thing,” that was 'more of a paperwork error,' noting that the error was fairly benign but the fine was large given the amount of money the campaign took in.

"And arguably more importantly, there was no evidence anywhere that the campaign had knowingly and willfully tried to cover up its donations."

Trump Said Campaign Finance Violations Aren't a Crime. Experts Say That's 'Nonsensical'
Silly stuff and that's why no charges have been brought. Trump paid hte money from his personal funds so the only possible violation of campaign laws if the federal elections commission found that it was paid for campaign purposes is that it was unreported, and that is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. In both his campaign, Obama paid fines for unreported campaign violations. The fact that this is such a hot topic for Trump critics underscores the fact that President Trump is doing such a good job as President that you guys can't find any real issues to go after.

How many times does a person need to lie to be labled a liar! This Guy lied to Congress before about the same stuff he's saying is true now. Because he has been offered a sweet deal to Lie to Congressional Democrats who won't look beyond the lies. As I understand he may be in legal trouble again for lies he told to Congress about another issue he has now changed his statements on. Liar Liar pants on fire. What a Schmuck!

We all know members of Congress are aficionados of lying, so the Democrats called Cohen back for an encore performance, telling him they admired his delivery but this time they wanted him to deliver some new material. Ever a crowd pleaser, for a price, Cohen delivered what they paid for.

Why did Trump lie to his base about paying hush money to Stormy Daniels?
Why did he conceal the source of those payments if there was nothing illegal?

"Speaking under oath in court Tuesday, Michael Cohen admitted arranging payments to keep a former Playboy model and a porn star quiet during the 2016 election about alleged affairs 'in coordination with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office' — Trump. He told the judge that he knew what he was doing was illegal but that he did it anyway."
