Paul Manafort Guilty of 8 Charges

[donner]

Oh come on. A speeding ticket is more concrete than this nonsense.

Cohen "did under a federal candidates direction". That's legalese for said candidate having an active retainer with him. Doesn't mean the "candidate" knew a damn thing about it. Like I said he screwed himself. And does anybody else think it odd that he turned 180 degrees with his statement and that Lanny Davis is his counsel? Things that make you gooo hmmmmm....

you could be right, or you could be wrong. It's a pretty ambiguous statement.

And did you see some of the statements Lanny Davis was making last night?

A Post article about it (sorry, gotta get the kid ready for school and can't find an AP article easily)

One possible answer came into view the very same day, as Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, suggested on television — and in an interview with The Washington Post late Tuesday — that Cohen had knowledge “of interest” to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and that his client was “more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows.”

Davis said that Cohen’s knowledge reached beyond “the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude” and included also the question of Trump’s participation in a “criminal conspiracy” to hack into the emails of Democratic officials during the 2016 election.

On “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Davis, who is a veteran of the Clinton White House, said his client had “knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on.”

But kudos for the correct use of counsel.

And no, pleading to (or being convicted of) a federal crime is not less 'concrete' than a speeding ticket. The implications might not be what people on the left want them to be, but make no mistake, these were crimes (even if other people were doing them too).

Seriously, who here hasn’t legally admitted to a crime they didn’t commit?

you don't do that all the time, too?

Joy returns to the Left. Enjoy the boost.

Mark Levin: ‘Donald Trump Is in the Clear’ — ‘Lanny Davis Blew It,’ ‘You Are a Dummy, Lanny’

…" The general counsel for the Clinton mob family, Lanny Davis, he had his client pleaded two counts of criminality that don’t exist. These campaign finance violations that is all over TV, they are saying implicates the president of the United States directly.

First, let’s back up. It is a guilty plea. It is a plea bargain between a prosecutor and a criminal. A criminal who doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison. That is not precedent. That applies only to that specific case. Nobody cites plea bargains for precedent. That’s number one.

Number two, just because a prosecutor says that somebody violated a campaign law doesn’t make it so. He is not the judge. He is not the jury. We didn’t adjudicate anything. It never went to court. That’s number two.

A campaign expenditure under our federal campaign laws is an expenditure solely for campaign activity. A candidate who spends his own money or even corporate money for an event that occurred not as a result of the campaign, it is not a campaign expenditure."...

In case you forgot: Congress paid millions in hush money to protect politicians
By Keith Edwards

…"The following is a list of articles from major news outlets with short excerpts written about members of Congress paying "secret settlements" for everything from sexual harassment to who knows what else – because we really don't know "what else" they did. It's a secret."...

G. Gordon Liddy offered to take the blame for the watergate scandal and stand on a designated street corner to be shot to death.

They just don't make criminal underlings like that anymore.
Sad!

I really can't tell if you wrote that or pasted an actual tweet.

Looks like Pecker is a flipper now. Pecker a flipper? The President has a very low opinion of flippers and rats and he talks about them like a straight-up mafioso. "Flipping should be against the law" he told a Fox interviewer this morning. He's seen a lot of flippers over the decades. Cooperating with prosecutors should be against the law. If another president said it...well another president didn't say it. Trump said it and Trump is Trump. At the same time he seems to be mystified that white collar crime is prosecuted at all. Everybody does that where he comes from. He just needs to keep talking just keep talking. He wants Mueller to wrap it up? Then STFU Mr. President, and stop taking the rope he's feeding you.

Bill Clinton, ‘No other president had to endure what I endured,!’

OH YES THERE IS, his name is Trump.
