"Trump Swamp Watch": Michael Cohen Says Trump Ordered Him To Illegally Interfere In Election
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to illegally interfering in the 2016 election at the direction of the president.
The revelation is a bombshell. Cohen was the keeper of Trump’s secrets, and this admission reveals that the two men colluded to illegally affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

But he didn't do nothing wrong according to the deporables.
Don't we already have an article about this? (Not trying to be a jerk).
Not really, they are linked but, the other doesn't go into detail about the election thing.
Well, if so this article should be banned! (I am a loyal member of the so-called FAKE NEWS-- and as such intend to take full advantage of that!)
Again, I wasn't trying to be rude..

No problem!

found guilty on eight counts, likely destined to spend the rest of his life behind bars. ">Why does the media always say how much time he may face? Even if he was unanimously found guilty on all counts, I don't think he'll serve any time-- Trump will pardon him!
Schumer dared Trump to pardon him.
Heh
If Trump pardons him, it will be one more nail in his political coffin.
If Trump pardons him it is a tacit admission by Trump that Cohen is telling the truth.
If he thought having Trump as a client was more important than adhering to the law then he deserves just what he gets. He also needs to be disbarred.
I think he's automatically disbarred as a felon.
Excellent.
How many hours will we have to wait until the conservative media have their talking points about how to spin, deny or deflect this statement by Cohen?
I'd say that depends on when the president tweets them what to say.
Looks like Trump's base will have to wait until 3am.
Given how deep Donald Trump appears to be in legal hot water if I were part of the conservative media I might not want to be taking cues from him because that might be seen as an accessory at a later date. They can support him but still keep a legally safe distance from him. Maybe at some point, they will stop supporting Donald Trump and only support the GOP or conservative policies.
Well we should have the answer soon then eh ?
I'll bet O donny's head is SPINNIN about now ! Not much sleep tonight I'll bet.
Should be a good set of tweets forthcoming soon. "Du Pa da ..o...I'm great and cohen's a &%!#ing pig.. Duu,, ring a ding dong .."
...lol
I dont think this is anything close to being the end of donald duck trump.
I stopped underestimating this man before the election. He knew what shit was going on, hell he was directing at least some of it, But he's smart enough to do anything nefarious in a hands off manner. Even if he is caught directing somethings it will depend on the illegality of what he's proven to have been involved with. Hell he probably put his kid on the block before he endangered HIS own long sought after and personally expensive presidency.
I'm sure not holding my breath till this man is out of office.
I doubt that any one single action will be the end of Trump. His removal will be the result of the cumulative effect of a thousand small cuts.
I agree, and I have not ruled out his exit being at the end of a mental breakdown triggered by stress.
Either way, too many fuck ups or too much stress either one and trump trumps himself right out of office. Barring that don't see him going anywhere soon though.
I dont think he was foolish enough to do what he thought had a chance of de-presidencing himself, He waited too long, spent too much and worked to hard to risk it all too easily.
He would have hired people do do anything nefarious and that probably wont take him down with a republican held congress even if it happened.
If the man was a total idiot he would never have made it this far, IMO: Underestimating trump is foolish.
I don't think he's stupid but he is profoundly ignorant and he obviously has some kind of learning disability which causes him not to read much if at all.
Trump has the instincts of a conniver and crook. I wouldn't exactly call that intelligence, but he does how to proceed along the lines he prefers.
He is a terrible public speaker, has trouble explaining himself in the face of facts, appears to be ignorant of just about every subject on earth that is not among the few that interest him, routinely fumbles names and spelling of common words, etc.
I'm not sure what the criteria would be to declare him particularly intelligent.
He appears to be of no more than average intelligence at best.
I agree president trump probably is very ignorant of many things. Some of his decisions and actions show he has no idea of what he's even asking for and from people sometimes. President Trump's instantaneous implemented Zero tolerance immigration policy proves that. What a mess.
It's actually a combination of his ignorance, lack of effort of educating himself before saying or doing stuff, his apparent lack of attention to any details and his bulling attitude that really concerns me.
IMO: That these are not really traites I look for in a leader of men, nor a nation.
Good Luck America !
These are bogus charges and a bogus conviction orchestrated behind the scenes by Hillary and Obama who will both be going to jail for the rest of their lives when this 'witch hunt' against Trump is finally exposed!
The fake news claim might not work for the few supporters who have even a vestigial frontal lobe after his own lawyer incriminates him. The entire Manafort jury cannot be part of the Obama/Hillary/Pelosi deep state.
I watched part of Maddow tonight and she had a silly grin 90% of the time. It was amusing seeing her trying to keep a straight face as she interviewed Cohen's own lawyer.
I doubt these people found guilty or pleading guilt and cooperating think they would or will go to a "bogus"jail cell.
More than likely they're praying for trump to use his position to find some miracle to get their asses out of he mess he had a part in to begin with.
Moral of the story to me, Stay the hell away from this president.
