For those who missed today's news it will start of April 15. He does not have to prove there were violations of federal or state campaign finance law. He has to show there was a falsification of business records in an attempt to conceal or commit another crime. The crime for which Mike Cohen went to jail. Robert Khuzami, Attorney for the United States, Acting Under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, announced that MICHAEL COHEN was sentenced today to three years in prison for tax evasion, making false statements to a federally insured bank, and campaign finance violations. COHEN pled guilty on August 21, 2018, to an eight-count information before U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III, who imposed today’s sentence. In a separate prosecution brought by the Special Counsel’s Office (“SCO”), COHEN pled guilty on November 29, 2018 to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Congress and was also sentenced on that case today, receiving a two-month concurrent sentence. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/michael-cohen-sentenced-3-years-prison I think it's unfortunate, given the seriousness of the other indictments, that this will be trial #1. However, it is the first criminal trial of a former US prez in US history so Don has once again distinguished himself. How proud his dad would be if he were still alive.
Recall, the Trump campaign was in damage control mode after the Access Hollywood tape. Especially with suburban women. It gave Stormy lot's of leverage to get paid to keep her mouth shut just weeks before the election.
The reaction, or lack thereof, by The Following to Trump's admission on tape that he sexually assaulted women...........and laughed about it..........was the first inkling nothing he could do or say would affect the cult's devotion.
Like no one ever made hush money payments before. The left claim it is about election interference but with Biden's classified documents, Biden & Co knew about it just before the 2020 election and purposely kept it secret in order to do election interference. Where are the charges against Biden?
