    Excellent article.

    "It appears we are not the only people furious at the way the Department of State and Department of Justice have covered up for Hillary Clinton’s patent abuse of her private emails for official business, creating security breaches and evading the requirements of accountability through the Freedom of Information Act’s procedures. This week the wonderful Judicial Watch outfit persuaded a U.S. District Court Judge that it was time to bring down the hammer on this wrongdoing. The case began in 2014 in a suit by Judicial Watch to obtain Hillary’s Benghazi-related emails. These agencies responded with a deficient search to effect a settlement. Ruling these agencies’ conduct “Smacks of outrageous misconduct” and collusion to “hoodwink” and to "skirt scrutiny" of Hillary he ordered them to reopen a portion of their email inquiry. He said -- and we certainly agree -- that Hillary’s use of her private email server was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency’

    But there was more trouble for Hillary and Bill on the horizon. Representative Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) revealed that three people have come forward to the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations with hundreds of pages of evidence evincing potential wrongdoing -- including pay to play and allegations of quid-pro-quo promises to Clinton Foundation donors.

    Donations to the Clinton Foundations have dropped off substantially since Hillary lost the election and had no favors to grant. There was a 58 percent drop from the $62.9 million it received the previous year.

    Indeed, the Clinton road show is having such difficulty selling tickets that they are practically giving them away on Groupon and yet the venues they chose have been very sparsely attended.

    In the meantime, prosecutors working for U.S. attorney John Huber (designated by former Attorney General Sessions to investigate the foundation) reportedly requested documents from MDA Analytics, LLC, which had been investigating the Foundation, and MDA contacted the IRS, the Justice Department and the FBI with evidence it had uncovered.

    In addition, The Hill reported that a whistleblower submission filed with the FBI and IRS in August 2017 included internal legal reviews that the Clinton Foundation conducted between 2008 and 2011.

    Those reviews raised concerns about legal compliance and improper mingling of personal and charity business.

    According to the Hill report, MDA investigators met with Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel in late November 2016.

    During the meeting, Kessel said that “one of the biggest problems was [former President Bill] Clinton’s commingling and use of business and donated funds and his personal expenses.” A separate interview memo stated that Bill Clinton “mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him.”

    Stormy Daniels

    Several TDS sufferers set up Go Fund Me sites to help Stormy Daniels file a defamation suit against the president. She lost that case, and now Trump is seeking $800,000 in legal fees and expenses from her. So the contributors to this nonsense are likely to end up paying Trump for her court loss.

    Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti also appears to be busted, this time by his estranged wife, and this week announced he’s dropping his plan to run for president."

    He didn’t, only a handful were convicted after working on his campaign for unrelated matters. It’s not like he knowingly had a child sexual predator handling his emails

    Of course. Most of the charges are for tax evaision but he did breach campaign finance laws. He's a criminal.

    I guess it could be but he already has his alibi. Cohen billed the Trump organization for legal services, he admitted to doing it on his own, and used his own money. If he had an email or a taped phone conversation with Trump telling Cohen to do it that way he would be charged with the same crime of campaign finance violations.

    Oh horseshit. This just prep for a show indictment of Trump by a Manhattan US Attorney.

    This was never about Cohen, President Trump is the principal subject of the investigation still being conducted by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

    Cohen has stated he did the hands-on work in orchestrating hush-money payments to two women who claim to have had sexual liaisons with Trump many years ago (liaisons Trump denies).

    But when Cohen pleaded guilty in August, prosecutors induced him to make an extraordinary statement in open court: the payments to the women were made “in coordination with and at the direction of” the candidate for federal office – Donald Trump.

    If the president was not implicated, they would not have prosecuted Cohen for campaign finance violations at all. Campaign finance violations are normally settled by payment of an administrative fine, not turned into felony prosecutions. Federal prosecutors in New York City have charged them as felonies before – most notably in 2014 against Dinesh D’Souza, whom Trump later pardoned.

    Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was guilty of violations involving nearly $2 million – an amount that dwarfs the $280,000 in Cohen’s case – the Obama Justice Department decided not to prosecute. Instead, the matter was quietly disposed of by a $375,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission.

    Lets get this straight, I ain't selling you anything. I read the entire SDNY transcript and it is what it is. No where does it say Trump was recorded instructing Cohen to do anything. You just made that up. If they have a tape or email of Trump instructing him to do this illegally then yes, Trump would be guilty of campaign finance violations but you are the only person saying that exist.

    An no, The reporter is stating claims against Trump, Not SDNY.

    You wanna hear something funny?? I bet Trump would PREFER the SDNY attempt to charge him now, when he has the power of the Presidency to help him fight it, versus the day after he leaves office, when he doesn't...

    Nothing about indicting an ex-president, I bet...

    Southern District of New York? Liberals are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Nothing will come of this and even so, campaign finance laws are hardly a big deal...

    Why would you go looking for problems that don't exist? These women never made a claim until Trump decided to run for office. They had Trump and the media in a bidding war for the information and Trump won with the top offer of 130K.

    The SOL runs before his second term expires. It will be a show indictment of a violation normally settled with administrative fines, as with Obama and many others, though with prison for Conservative Film Maker
    Dinesh D'Souza

    We tire of progressives weaponization of the power we citizens grant them from their own partisan witch hunts.

    New York State acting Attorney General Robert Khuzami and his partisan morons put together a nonsensical and flimsy accusations against Michael Cohen and targeting Donald Trump.

    Their sentencing memo fatuously claims that President Trump organized illegal payments. Non-disclosure contracts are legal in every state. It’s not an illegal campaign contribution. Not a crime. Khuzami is wrong.

    Trump did not use campaign funds. A candidate may make unlimited contributions to his own campaign. Yet, Robert Khuzami forced Cohen, a liar and tax cheat, to plead guilty to a non-crime. Khuzami wants to be the guy who brings down the President.

    Look at the four attorneys who signed the Cohen sentencing memo under Robert Khuzami’s name. Griswold, Maimin, McKay and Roos. They have no real experience, they are Ocasio-Cortez with law degrees. They don’t know anything about the law. They don’t understand the Federal Campaign Election Act.

    Hopefully they will face charges for filing a federal court document that contorts the law in a deliberate effort to implicate the President in wrongdoing.

    Not with any state crimes but he can be impeached and get senate approval if they can prove Trump conspired to commit a felony. That isn't going to happen over a campaign finance violation where Cohen admitted to doing it on his own but I am not sure how to convict a sitting president of a state felony since you can't try him while in office.

    I always thought campaign violations and tax evasion were federal crimes. Not sure why they decided to take this for sentencing to the state of NY. Doesn't make any sense to me.

    Trump didn't pay for this until after the election, so he didn't contribute to his own campaign for this issue.

    Your paragraph in bold is ridiculous tripe.... If they are employed by the SDNY, they are attorneys.... They don't know anything about the law??? Said the pot....
