This does not bode well. Cohen has plead guilty to a felony, and said Trump told him to do so. They’d have to have corroborating evidence, like the reimbursement Trump paid Cohen. But c’mon, there’s no way Trump didn’t know. The leaked tape shows Trump got involved in discussing the payment.
The question is, should Trump be impeached because he paid someone 150k? Is this worse than lying about a blow job?
Again, nothing’s been suggested about collusion. So anything other than paying a porn Star is not relevant, and is conjecture.
But Trump is now directly implicated in a felony. I expect Democrats to impeach in January, but is this enough to warrant the Republicans in the Senate voting guilty?

I'll throw you a bone here Flagg...I was excited for this...but now that it's actually happening, it actually has me scared.
Not because I feel bad for Trump...I hate that used car salesmen.
What scares me is that the American people put him there.

Imagine investigating Clinton for 7 years and all you could get him for was lying about a BJ. This investigation is minuscule compared to that, but the results already blow away the Clinton probe.
Yeah “this shit” is legit not matter if you like it or not. And it’ll go on for years more. Might as well get used to it.

Most of the country knows it is just to get to trump. There is so little evidence they are back to trying to bust Manafort on shit that is over 10 years old. As for Cohen, big fucking deal. Obama had 2 million dollars in campaign violations and only paid a fee. This is a witch hunt.

Why? What did Trump do to warrant a complete bullshit investigation whose only purpose is to malign his presidency?

Yup...still not sure what this all means. We’re in no man’s land now.
It means Trump is in a world of shit, that's what it means to me. His personal lawyer stood up in court today and implicated him in a felony. Saying he was "at the direction" of President Trump to violate campaign finance law.
Trump's former campaign chairman was found guilty of over a half a dozen charges and still has more to face going forward. Which says to me that he will probably, if he's smart, take this opportunity to work with the government and tell them everything he knows about Trump and the Russians.
It's only going to get worse.
