Cohen was given his own authority to pay off gold diggers without bothering his boss.
The payoffs were so small that Cohen would cover them and then bill Trump. Every wealthy person in the US pays off gold diggers.
So, there's no way that the payoff can be construed as an illegal donation to the Trump campaign. This is garden-variety lawyer work. Cohen pleaded guilty to a non-crime.
The judge wouldn't have accepted a guilty plea, unless he broke the law.
Trump is recorded, trying to have Cohen pay her in CASH, Cohen says NO CASH.
Paying off a woman weeks before a presidential election, is the difference.
Its pathetic the way you are willing to accept such a corrupt, lying, piece of trash, who thinks of no one but himself. Have far have you fallen?
