In my opinion, I think Trump using his little chicken brain felt they were moving closer and closer to losing the arbitration request and going to a public trial/depositions/whatever--
And he couldn't face that---
Thought if he said he didn't know anything about the agreement or the payoff that HE was off scott-free...
In his thinking--by passing the buck to Cohen--Trump played Pontius Pilate and washed his hands of any involvement in this problem...and can get off w/o depositions or punishment...

So pity poor Michael Cohen---I am sure this came as a total surprise to him, that it was not planned ahead of time, and he has been thrown under the bus on national tv...
Classy Trump...
Just totally predictable and innately irresponsible...

Fortunately for the majority of us in this country, Trump is absolutely incapable of ever keeping his mouth shut. It's why he and his aides are trying so hard to avoid an interview with Mueller, because they know that he would let loose and his ego would run wild, revealing many things he'd not want to be known. Trump's henchmen are also very uneasy about him giving that interview, as they know he wouldn't hesitate to incriminate them, in trying to save himself.

So Cohen is probably going to get disbarred, Trump will pay him of, and pardon any crime. Stormy can talk her head off. Probably the best choice of all the bad ones he had.

Cohen will get a pardon, and some cash I suspect.

But its going to look corrupt as heck.

Doesn't matter. No woman deserves for her husband to cheat on her with a porn star, much less a pack of porn stars. I'm sure she knew he was a jacka@@, but she probably never thought he would do that.

Even if his crime is pardoned, I believe he would still be disbarred?

When you marry for money you earn every dime.

Could the pardon be why Cohen is trying to get the case from a state court to a federal one?

I'd bet Melania is not surprised and knows of others who've shared her hubby while she's been married to him........and I'd also bet she's relieved to have someone else do the scut work she probably hates. Sleeping with that slob is probably the worst part of her JOB.

What a guy.
Donny is the client every lawyer would want to represent! Right?! No wonder he's having such a tough time finding lead counsel in the russian probe.
