Dems are used to bend over comedy . I do stand up comedy.
Here I'm just putting out the facts for consideration.
I'll work on the comedy when I'm done watching CNN and getting that material.

Worth reminding folks, Michael Cohen also served as Deputy Finance Chairman for the RNC.

Main reason no...big part of it yes. As I said there was MANY other more conservative judges to pick from.

Michael Cohen will plead guilty to bank fraud, tax evasion, and campaign finance violations. Looks like he will serve anywhere from 7-11 years in federal prison. Donald Trump will not pardon him because Cohen would be forced to testify and not plead the fifth, so I guess he's willing to serve a decade of his life to protect Trump.

Either that, or like Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen fears for his safety and the safety of his family if he were to cooperate.

Wow, so it's possible that TWO people close to Donald Trump will be found guilty (one by trial, one by plea deal) of multiple federal charges on the same day.
Ha! Good. Another one the deep state can't get to flip.....must suck eh?

There is some indication that the condos Trump has been selling to foreigners for cash is a method of money laundering. Trump has been awash with cash since the big banks cut him off. If he has been laundering dirty money from overseas that is serious criminality. These connections could be a motive for betraying the nation and undermining the political process.

The Special Counsel team has several people who specialize in investigating organized crime and financial business crimes. I think there must be some reason they need that sort of talent on the staff.

Cohen, of course, was handed over to the Southern District of New York, because his major crimes are not related to the campaign and his finances were apparently not a motive for political crimes.

Those people claiming that this is nothing have put party before country and they are a disgrace.
you have it absolutely backwards. no one is saying this is nothing. people living in the real world who use their brains want the laws applied evenly and fairly with no political bias involved. The whole Trump "investigation" and investigations into people he has known is totally biased and even the judge in the Manafort trial said so. It is dems and liberals out on a witch hunt who are seeking anything to appease themselves in support of a child-like reaction to losing an election. 100% vindictive effort on their part.
