Campaign finance violations are federal crimes.

Mikey knowingly committed a federal crime at the direction of “the candidate”... it’s the very definition of a criminal conspiracy.

So now all of a sudden we believe everything he says because he switched sides and negotiated a deal not to go to jail once he was caught.

Where's the deal to keep him out of jail? 43 to 63 months in the big house is guaranteed.

Trump is clearly guilty of violating campaign finance laws and also guilty of federal conspiracy as well (because he agreed with Cohen, and possibly others, on a plan to violate federal law). Normally he would be indicted right away. But that won’t happen only because he’s the president. But I suspect he’ll be named as an unindicted co-conspirator and also there’ll be a separate section of the Mueller report titled “Conspiracy to Violate Campaign Finance Laws” or something like that.

It really would be funny if this is what takes down Trump, not the whole Russia thing. The amounts involved are tiny compared to what other people get away with...

Well there goes the theory that ICE are literally the gestapo

This case has been running since 2003, when he was found. Germany has refused his extradition. They only agreed to take him now.

People have been protesting this for years. This has little to do with the current ICE policies.

You'd better get a hat to hold on to. This is a mob roll-up and we're only on the peripheries... the underbosses. The mid-level bosses like Jared and Don Jr are coming up and the capo di tutti capi will be last to fall... But fall he will.

 

[daveza]

But fall he will.

He will have the best fall.

 

[rietrot]

He will have the best fall.

And then the real fun begins when Pence takes over. I can't wait.

 

[Unhappy438]

But Trumpets told us two terms?

That's still on. The lefties are getting a bit over excited with the which hunt.

Which hunt? The witch hunt!

 

[greg0205]

That's still on. The lefties are getting a bit over excited with the which hunt.

Fun fact: A total of twenty people were condemned and executed as witches on Gallows Hill during the Salem Witch Trials... So far, Mueller's tally is seven guilty, and another twenty nine indictments.

Womp womp

 

[R13...]

If it is just the lefties then why is Trump tweeting like "one angry (the irony) Bravo" about Mueller and the Angry Democrats? I mean he ostensibly cares nothing for the Fake News Media yet spends an inordinate amount of time ranting about both. He sounds so mad about it all.

When can we expect Agent Orange to "fall"? I almost feel sorry for these poor triggered snowflakes so obsessed with the Peachman.
They appear to forget that they need a slightly less BS candidate to win an election and the only race are winning at the moment is the race to the bottom.
Come on snowflakes, make a list of presidential candidates to compete in an election.

Kermit the frog will have more class.

 

[Techne]

Kermit the frog will have more class.

Imagine that, the Dems lost to a guy with less class than Kermit the frog. Kind of demonstrates how much the Dem candidates are liked. I am sure they can do better this time right? Right?

 

[greg0205]

LOL. Remember that one time Hillary won the popular vote by 3 000 000 votes. Good times.

Nevermind Techne... His Tinder date didn't show... Again. Now he's angry and drinking alone and posting here so folk looking at him imagine he has friends to text.

He'll be his usual self again in the morning.

Shame, still think the popular vote is important in American presidential elections.

And Tinder... lol that looks a lot like projection. Good luck finding friends there matey
