    The same Mueller report that proved donnie was obstructing the investigation?

    The same one that poured Sanders for the lying witch she is?

    Or that confirmed the pee tapes really exist?

    LOL

    All correct... And it was the SDNY, not Mueller, who contacted Davidson in the Cohen probe, after the Cohen raid.

    SNIP
    “Mr. Davidson has been contacted by the federal authorities regarding the Michael Cohen probe in the Southern District of New York,” the spokesman, Dave Wedge, said on Friday. “Mr. Davidson was asked to provide certain limited electronic information. He has done so and will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent possible under the law.”

    If Davidson had already provided information to Mueller, Mueller would have sent that to SDNY with the referral.

    Davidson had no impact on the Mueller Russia probe, so it's highly unlikely Davidson ever met with Mueller. That's all I'm saying.

    But the larger point is that Davidson has a story to tell, and Congress wants to hear it....

    Can Davidson say for a fact that Trump directed the payoffs?? Unlikely, but he has a piece of this story, which is why he was on the list of approved subpoenas in case he refuses to appear (on what basis, I have no idea).

    He had already been in contact by the Mueller team...it was the Mueller team that uncovered the issues with Cohen. He cooperated with the Mueller team, as well as SDNY.

    He's shared his story with law enforcement some time ago.

    This is just the Dem reinterviewing folks, because they can't accept the results. I will say though....on a side note...this is dangerous ground for a lot of these politicians. I expect more backfire...maybe in a larger way

    Do you believe it should be or is legal for an individual that is running for POTUS to bribe people with election funds to keep quiet as to not hurt their election chances?

    You have to be careful around these folks with a phrase like 'election funds'.... it's very confusing for them.

    By getting Cohen to do this via his HELOC and bogus LLC, Trump kept this officially out of the bucket of 'election funds'.

    SNIP
    (8)(A) The term "contribution" includes-
    (i) any gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money or anything of value made by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for Federal office; or

    Coincidence that the phrasing in the Cohen sentencing memo mirrors the federal law about "influencing an election"??

    I don't think so...

    What business is it of theirs a private consensual sexual relationship having nothing to do with his Presidency? Using your own money is not a campaign finance violation. Cohen testified Trump told him he did not want his wife to find out, another dis qualifier. If the FEC thought it was a campaign violation THEY are the agency that would issue a sanction, they did not. This is nothing more than the Democrats abusing their authority to try and embarrass Trump.

    He is quite correctly asserting executive and attorney client privilege and since the DOJ already concluded there was no obstruction of justice................

    Lied about what? He’s talked about wanting to build in Moscow since the 80s.

    It’s not like he covered up a terrorist attacked and blamed it on a video to get elected.

    “So to be clear, Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump-Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it,” Cohen said during his opening statement. “He lied about it, because he never expected to win.”

    Sure if they use campaign money. Happened to Obama. The campaign paid a fine. What do you expect to come out of this hearing when the FEC has not filed a campaign violation charge?

    In 2015...and directed it to be closed. The only person making a handful of contacts with some involved in Russia after Jan 2016 was Cohen.

    Public understanding, with possibly an article of impeachment for violating federal law in the course of being elected President.

    The major hurdle I see is should Congress impeach for acts that occurred before an individual becomes President? Since the act(s) occurred during the campaign and there were acts that occurred while president, in continuation of the original act, I think that case can easily be made..

    Talk Radio Host Mark Levin had a Legal scholar on his show
    who knew campaign Finance laws backwards and forwards.
    Said he was certain that Trump broke No current Campaign Finance laws.
    Which is why Unamerican pols like Adam Schiff and his California
    buddy Eric Swalwell were trying to invent new Campaign Law in order
    to act as if retroactive and charge Trump who was a citizen when the
    Settlement was drafted and signed.
