    And as his world begins to fall, with Cohen and Manafort, Trump will hold a MAGA rally today in West Virginia. Sad

    Per CNN
    Still, sources told CNN that Cohen is not cooperating and instead entered the guilty plea to avoid a messy trial.

    Trump has blasted Cohen in recent weeks for secretly recording their conversations, including one discussing the payment of hush money to a porn star.

    The feds are probing more than $20 million in loans obtained by Cohen’s family’s taxi business — and whether the porn star payments violated campaign-finance rules.


    porn star is not "Russia"

    That - if true - probably means Cohen feels sure he will receive a pardon.

    ...pretty safe to assume that he would cop the plea deal before "cooperating".

    Could be, or plead to some minor BS, and be done with it. Have to figure if he and Trump have any relationship left, he will be taken care of.

    You must have missed this part


    Still, sources told CNN that Cohen is not cooperating and instead entered the guilty plea to avoid a messy trial.

    See, it is a one or the other situation. Once there is a plea, you know, like guilty, it is a done deal.

    I thought all the die hard conservatives preached fiscal responsibility but across the board they all say...tax evasion and money laundering..bank fraud....no big deal..witch hunt..etc...talk about some spin...how about breaking the fucking law and profiting from it? They're wealthy so what....that just makes them clever?

    dalincoln and presidente are the worst offenders at spinning everything negative about the Trump administration. Days are getting shorter for some and not just because of the sun setting sooner.

    Well, of course Cohen would be happy to plead to some minor BS and be done with it. Why would the government offer that, if he's not offering anything in return?
