Murder, Rape, Kidnapping...those are Serious Felonies.

Paying off a couple of chicks you banged....not so much.

If you’re looking at 8 to 10 or more you’ve done something pretty bad...

Really? So campaign violations, begging Russia to attack our democracy by hacking and possible collusion by family and campaign staff to work with the Russians to impact the election your ok with. I suggest that if it wasn’t Hillary and a candidate you really would prefer over Trump, you might see it differently.

See that word, "Possible" ANYTHING isn't a felony.... and by your relatives and people you know makes it even less so. So you can delete that from your rant.

Cohen was indicted for 8 crimes, only one of them was a campaign violation....by Cohen

"Cohen pleaded guilty to a total of eight counts, including five counts of tax evasion involving nearly $4 million, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, one count of willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution from June 2016 to October 2016, and one excessive campaign contribution on October 27, 2016."

As far as Begging Russia, that's some serious "TDS" leaping right there from what Cohen pled guilty too. When they get any actual proof that happened, let me know.

Who knows, they are obviously still digging. looks like they found something that they can dig deeper into by trying to link Campaign funds going to a couple of bimbos. We will see what comes from that. It's never going to stop.

Lying about oral affairs w/ an adult intern?

Also interesting that the same crowd, including the Cheeze-it Commander in Chief, yell "rule of law" and want to arrest people who report to designated areas and turn themselves in and request asylum as they law instructs say this if is no big deal. Just a felony, I guess 🤔

Also, the crime wasn't paying off a couple of chicks, but you know that don't you?

You're right, that isn't the crime.

They are trying, desperately, to link it to campaign funds......because the multi millionaire couldn't afford to pay for it himself.

Soooooooo......still got nothing

That is either a completely uniformed or intentionally ignorant statement. He could afford to pay it. The reason money was funneled through Cohen and the trump foundation was to hide it. That is where the crime came from. Given the lot that supports him he would have been better off letting it come out. It's always the cover up as they say.

No, the crime was that Trump used campaign funds to pay off the women for their silence. Hence the supposed funneling through Cohen. Funneling his own money through his own lawyer really isn't that sneaky.

Zero proof of that as of yet, other than Cohen's testimony, but now they have something to dig into.

And it's Uninformed not uniformed.....and I'm the ignorant one.

Yes you are right, a spelling error while typing with Swype on a cellphone clearly places me a step below you on the ignorance scale, everything else aside. He's a felon and he is getting his comeuppance.

Doesn’t matter if it was linked to campaign funds or private cash. If the payoffs were intended to influence the election, which Cohen said they were, and they were directed by Trump, which Cohen says they were under oath, then Trump quite likely is looking at a clearly impeachable offense.

Not trying to be a wise-azz, asking a sincere question.

It's not a crime for an average Joe to write a big check to make something embarrassing go away, right? Clinton wrote a big fat check to one of his accusers.

But it might be a crime for Trump to do it, because he was campaigning? If part of his motive was making this skank keep quiet during the run-up to the election, that's the crime? But it would have been OK if he did it the day after the election?

Doesn't every commercial every candidate releases, attempt to influence the outcome of an election?
