    Posting facts doesn't mean I support anybody. Posting facts has nothing to do with a RW Echo Chamber. That would come under the heading of opinion.
    What is more interesting is I do notice you run to the RW Echo chamber accusations when you read something you don't agree with. Why not (instead of the continuous post of RW Echo chamber and B B B But Obama comebacks) just address the actual information in the post as to why you think its not accurate and engage in the conversation.

    Or crimes accused of a year before they even happened?

    You don't have that and even if you did, you will need a conviction to prove anything.

    I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you can elaborate.


    Oh, hurry, hurry, NBC just confirmed the story. A name can't be far behind.

    The media is pushing a theory, that an undisclosed person, is stating Trump was in a meeting, in August of 2015, where the discussion was held to kill stories of women coming forward, to actual women coming forward in August of 2016 and how that affected Michael Cohen to commit campaign finance violations directed by Trump.

    While omitting the fact that it isn't a crime to payoff accusers of non criminal allegations.

    We hear this every day. They don't have a name or a person that can be quoted. We (Again) are to take a face value that the media reported it even though it is from undisclosed sources. How many times have we seen this movie now?

    Lawyers on retainer spend money on behalf of their client hundreds of times a day, and then expect to get reimbursed.

    We saw it a lot during Watergate.

    How did that turn out?

    Not when their clients are involved in a campaign. If you (as an average everyday person with no contact with Trump) phoned these women up and paid them out of your own pocket and paid them over the legal limit contribution, you would be guilty of campaign finance violations.

    We see it all the time with one exception. No one in history has been accused of hundreds of felony crimes, for over 3 years, with all accusations made by anonymous sources, without a single charge or conviction. This has become the boy who cried wolf after the first 6 months of the same ole thing over and over. Yet at every claim they are from these credible resources that somehow evaporate with the next accusation. I guarantee this will evaporate like the rest and Trump will be facing some other claim by the end of next week, as per usual.

    Uncle Rudy is on TV while we speak saying well it's not a big crime like robbery or murder.
    Cohen is probably feeling pretty smart about now.

    But I am not a lawyer on retention and would not be spending my own money.

    Most of that isn't true, nor does it matter.

    You Trumpsters need to enjoy repeating this "there's nothing because nobody's in jail yet" meme; because it isn't going to last.

    Trump is making a fool of himself on a nearly constant basis now. The whole thing is getting beyond pathetic.

    The man is in way over his head and the entire world can see it.

    I have to laugh at this like poor Donald Trump. Remember what you did to Hillary with her emails and what you did with Obama and his birth certificate and what you did with Clinton and his blowjob? Here are a man is possibly guilty of destroying a very democracy with enemies and you want that to go away

    It is more than that because the people involved have plead guilty

    Cohen pleaded guilty to lying. Trump paying off Stormy isnt a crime even if he did it to not be embarrased during his campaign. TDSers are trying to stretch campaign finance laws to something they weren't meant for just because they hate trump. Out of everything you've thrown at trump this is the stupidest attempt.

    Should have phrased it better, sorry. He pleaded guilty but it wasn't a crime in the first place, the lying was the crime. If this went to court cohen would have won because paying off stormy isnt a crime.

    Lots of different problems for Cohen. He pled guilty to lying to congress, but just guilty of the campaign and tax fraud charges.
