Awww, did the poll hurt your feelings? What can people do about Trump other than impeach? A sitting president cannot be indicted. The entire administration is a den of thieves.

What felonies? You must've heard that on CNN, who is just making stuff up.

If you're talking about campaign contributions and payouts, that is a civil violation, not a crime. Just ask Obama about the $375,000 fine he had to pay for campaign violations, the highest fine ever.

And through all of this Mueller nonsense, he STILL can't prove there was any collusion or conspiracy with Russia to win the election, which is what this was supposed to be about.

Clearly he has no problem lying. Is Cohen a credible witness?


Also, assuming Trump WAS involved in suppressing the stories, was it because of the campaign? Or was it so his family and friends wouldn’t find out?

Until these questions are answered, how can you say that “two felonies were committed”?
I'm pretty sure Trumps family and friends already knew about his little sexual adventures....We all know how he likes to brag.

He brags to his wife and children about his extramarital affairs?

No matter what the true answer is, it is very believable that ANYONE would want to keep these stories from getting out. Election or no election.

Be patient I see smoke, and we'll soon see fire... Regarding your whataboutism the situation regarding Obama's campaign was more of a technicality.

While it is true that President Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined a significant amount of money by the FEC, those fines covered civil violations that were different than the criminal infractions admitted to by Cohen.

From a legal standpoint, the Department of Justice has already proved that Cohen intentionally acted to facilitate and hide an illegal contribution for the purpose of affecting the election, because that is what he formally admitted to.

What ridiculous nonsense ... it takes a very low level intellect to get goosebumps over this load of manure.

First and foremost, we know for a fact now (other victims of Meuler’s shyster tactics have already revealed the pressure put upon them to provide false testimony against the President) that multiple felonies have been committed in the lead up to, the formation of the special council, and its ongoing tactics of extorting and tampering with witnesses (look that up in the law books pal). Very serious crimes have been committed, to include, but not limited to tampering with witnesses in a federal investigation, in the attempt to frame someone for a crime. When that someone happens to be the President of the United States, such felonious behavior indeed encroaches upon the slippery territory of sedition and treason.

Secondly, it seems the meat of the allegation revolves around the misuse of “campaign funds” for non-campaign activities. Given the immense wealth of Donald Trump, coupled with the fact that he largely self financed his campaign with his OWN MONEY, while he also donates his almost 1/2 Million dollar annual salary as President to charity, nobody with two functioning brain cells would believe that Trump would skim off money from a regulated campaign fund to pay off a two bit porn star/prostitute.

What’s next in the big headlines? Let me guess, Stormy Daniels will soon come forward and confess to being a Russian KGB agent, working directly for Putin.

FIND A HOBBY .... you have way too much free time on your hands.

Yeah... That's why I am in the "I don't care" club.
Just not interested; couldn't even have told you that the crimes described are felonies. In fact, I have clearly committed felonies and various acts of moral weakness in my own life. Trump runs the country better than I could while taking heat that I could not tolerate.
More power to him.
Rasmussen shows a 50% approval number.

Minor correction....Trump financed less than 20% of his campaign.
