Leave it to Trump supporters to try and downplay or dismiss federal crimes committed by the man who has been closest to the sitting president over the last 11 years.

Can you imagine what the reaction from the person you both quoted would have been if Obama's personal lawyer was sentenced to three years in prison?!

hypocrisy.

Trump doesn't do his taxes or is responsible for his personal taxes and whatever Cohen reported and not reported is not Trump's problem.
Blah blah blah. trump knew exactly what was going on.

Spin this and handwave it away however you want, these are crimes, he is a convicted felon, and he has gone on record that he was acting at the direction of Individual-1. Having gone through the Nixon era, albeit as a child, this is not a nothingburger as some try to claim.

I guess it's gotta be pretty difficult to somehow spin Trump's personal attorney for the last 11 years being sentenced to 3 years in federal prison for multiple crimes.



You knew they were going to try and spin it as if it was nothing, but this is very significant.


A song comes to mind about this latest Trump associate to go down:

Just wait until Trump bites the dust, that will be a great day.
