not illegal, probably unethical but not to the level to get disbarred. cohen is working as a "fixer" in this situation and not a lawyer.

It’s definitely to the level of getting disbarred, but I imagine Cohen is already getting disbarred for his other issues.

Trump's cult members don't think he's lying to them, rather that he's lying for them. They see him as their liar, never mind that the majority of them in red states, are going to suffer more hardships from his actions, than anyone else. They're just like the children of a village, following the Pied Piper.

With Trump and his associates so embroiled in, money laundering, prostitution, payoffs and cover ups it seems odd that Rudy Giuliani is Trump's lawyer. Maybe Rudy was the most obvious choice having taken down the New York Mob or maybe he
is working for the other side.

Trump is trolling Democrats hard by allowing these tapes to be released.
Sure that must be it, instead of just giving her cash set up a shell company for payment.

Wake up, Loonies. You are being manipulated through your emotions. Try using logic or maybe just turn off the damned TV.
That saying, fits Trump's mantra perfectly. Every time he opens his mouth, garbage and lies spew out. For now, he seems like the Teflon man; that will not and should not last forever.

People still believing in a pathological liar, with no morals or the critical skills it takes to be our commander in chief and president; are just dreamers, betting on a man that is falling apart at the seams.

Some day and I hope soon we will have a true leader, not some half baked con man, tearing our country apart with his tantrums and old 1920's ideals. We need a leader that looks forward not backwards.

Where is your logic? Plus, maybe you should turn off your TV and social media and get real.

It's cute how you see this as some sort of "disloyalty" play when the plain truth is there's no way these tapes would have been released without Trump's tacit approval. Otherwise Lanny and Cohen would, at the very least, be in serious ethical trouble if not facing criminal contempt charges.
I don't get my news from Breitbart, Fox, InfoWars, or Conservative Tree House. There are media outlets that still report news. You should try one.

I don't. That's why I used the word "possibly" originally to clarify that it was a raw guess. It still remains a "possibility", like it or not. Cohen was known to record his conversations. It all depends on how often Donnie called his capo.

What's even cuter is that you apparently forgot how to google "Cohen turns on Trump". I got 67 million hits.

Have you seen the list of charges in the Trump Foundation case in New York, and the pic of Donnie's signature on a voucher for an illegal $100,000 paynment? After that, it's really easy to believe anything anyone says about him.
