Renowned Lawyer Exposes Cohen’s Mistake

Alan Dershowitz, famous for his liberal leanings but his defense of Trump on legal grounds, has exposed Michael Cohen’s plea as nonsense. The Daily Wire reports:

Always ready to set the record straight, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is poking holes in former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s claims that the then-candidate illegally instructed him to pay hush money to his alleged paramours for the campaign.

In an exclusive interview with ABC on Friday, Michael Cohen not only told George Stephanopoulos that President Trump instructed him to pay off his mistresses but also knew it was the “wrong” thing to do.

“I knew what I was doing was wrong. I stood up before the world and I accepted the responsibility for my actions,” Cohen told Stephanopoulos. When asked if Trump knew it was wrong as well, Cohen said, “of course.”

On Wednesday, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for a whole host of crimes, including tax evasion, lying to Congress, and campaign-finance violations.

President Trump’s culpability in the scheme is not proven, and the campaign finance crimes that Cohen plead to could very well not be crimes at all for Donald Trump.

How could it be a crime against Trump if he paid a woman to “forget” they had sex together? Such an action, if it did occur, is personal, not political. Question: Why has Congress so easily forgotten about so many of them paying whores to “keep quiet” about their “occasions” with them? So it was OK to hand out our tax money to their events but crime for Donald Trump to use his personal money? BS. An accusation is one thing, proof is another; and I would say they are the only ones guilty of such actions.

John Edwards is one of the main ones they forget about. And, he DID use campaign funds for his mistress. He would’ve kept on too, except he got caught. He was running for VP then. (?) With Al Gore, if I remember correctly. As long as these bimbos weren’t paid with campaign funds, there’s NO crime! He can pay out his own money anyway he sees fit.

IF Donald Trump actually DID screw her! The “dog” was EXTORTING from candidate Trump. She knew he would want to put this “matter” behind him because 1) He didn’t need the publicity in this election run, 2) It would cost MUCH less to pay her off than to sue her for slander, and 3) it would be a BIG distraction from the good race and campaign. Stephanie Crawford is a whore. Period. What would stop her from lying to get money if she’ll have sex on screen for money? And Avenatti is a worm (no offense, Oligochaete). He was bankrupt before “Stormie” came into his view, and now he’s going to be someone’s girlfriend for a few years behind iron bars — where he belongs. The only good thing for him is that his IOU’s ware delayed ’till he gets out. But the “vig’ keeps going! Too bad, worm. Makes a good “law and justice” episode, though.

There are many people who are aware of the details regarding the crimes which have been committed by politicians inside our government, also known as the deep state, and we know that the liars in their corporate press have always protected them. Before the democrats take control of the congress please release all of he documents, without redacting any names, regarding the JFK assassination, the 9/11 inside job, the transfer of our uranium rights to the Russians, the Benghazi crimes and murders, the clinton foundation slush fund, and all of the school shooting hoaxes which were created as an excuse to disarm the American people. We, the people, need to have the facts released directly to us so that action can be taken to prosecute the guilty. We are waiting for the day when the D.C. swamp will be drained and the guilty will finally be prosecuted. Releasing the facts and names of the enemies inside our government directly to the people will begin the process of healing our country.

President Trump paid two women out of his own money to keep quite about consensual sex that he had with them PRIOR to him becoming President. Congress members paid 17 Million (not sure on the exact amount) out of TAXPAYER FUNDS, to women they either had consensual sex or sexually harassed, WHILE THEY WERE CONGRESSMEN! Now you tell me, who is the real criminal???

I just love it when the Democrats/Liberals/Leftists/Socialists take the “Holier than Thou” attitude they seem to forget that one of their idols was having sex in the Oval Office with Interns as well as when he was the Governor of Arkansas. And what about one of their VP Candidates, Edwards I believe, who was actually caught using Campaign Funds on his mistress. I don’t know if Donald Trump actually had any dealings with these two women and to tell the truth I don’t really care. If any of this happened it happened Before he was even a Candidate. If these women took money to keep their mouth shut they are guilty of Extortion. Any kind of extramarital affair is between Mr. and Mrs. Trump and has nothing to do with him being the president. All of this is just more crap from the Democrats/Liberals/Leftists/Socialists to try to derail the Trump Presidency. This is just more of the same; they have nothing to offer the American People except Obstructionism. They have no plan to fix any of the problems facing this country, they object to everything and anything that the President does. All they want is 5to once again have the power back in their hands so they can continue the Obama Socialist Agenda of destroying this country and turning into the next Third World Pest Hole with the promise of FREE Stuff for everyone with no idea of how to fund any of it.

Michael Cohen has become a puppet and mouthpiece for Robert Mueller. Cohen he has told so many different stories no one should believe anything he says. He is saying only whatever Mueller wants to hear.
