Jury reaches verdict on 8 of 18 charges...

Manafort guilty of eight counts:
  • All Five Counts of Tax Fraud (max three years per)
  • Single count of Failure to File a RFBA (max five years)
  • Two Counts of Bank Fraud (max of thirty years per)
Mistrial on the rest...

Let's be clear here folks. Paul Manafort never sees the inside of a courtroom had he not worked for the Trump campaign.

Trump stated today that while he felt bad for Manafort, he also made clear that the conviction "has nothing to do with Russian collusion"  and that  "it doesn't involve me." Both of which are absolutely true. But that will not stop the crazies on the left from trying to shove that round peg into that square hole and pretend differently.

Cohen committed crimes "In co-ordination with, and at the direction of" @realDonaldTrump . Thus, President appears to be co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor of a federal crime.

Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former fixer, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to campaign finance and other charges. He made the extraordinary admission that he paid a pornographic actress “at the direction of the candidate,” referring to Mr. Trump, to secure her silence about an affair she said she had with Mr. Trump.

Mr. Cohen told a judge in United States District Court in Manhattan that the payment was “for the principal purpose of influencing the election” for president in 2016.

He said that the candidate Trump reimbursed him for the silence on Stormy Daniels. I'm not a lawyer but if campaign funds were used to pay for the silence it is illegal.
If his private funds were used I don't know yet if it's illegal.

Cohen's lawyer a former prosecutor said that the main issue is that the rule of law matters.

Publicity of the information that could have influenced the outcome of the election was suppressed by a payment to the porn star. This was a violation of campaign regulations.

Trump will go on Twitter and call Cohen a liar. Scott will support him on the Coldheartedtruthlessnes.com

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

There is nor a confirmation of immunity. This is going to get interesting.

Cohen could be used in another investigation. The National Enquirer false reports that the candidate Trump didn't have an affair with a porn star. It's possible that this could lead us to more interesting questions.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The plea agreement does not call for Mr. Cohen to cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, but it does not preclude him from providing information to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining the Trump campaign’s possible involvement in Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign.

If Mr. Cohen were to substantially assist the special counsel’s investigation, Mr. Mueller could recommend a reduction in his sentence.

The guilty plea could represent a pivotal moment in the investigation into the president: a once-loyal aide acknowledging that he made payments to at least one woman who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, in violation of federal campaign finance law.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/nyregion/michael-cohen-plea-deal-trump.html

This is completely separate from the Muller investigation. This could lead into the investigation into the election.

Trump is saying that the Witch Hunt is not related to these stories. He avoided the Cohen case. I watched it live.

Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts that include bank and tax fraud and, importantly, a campaign finance violation. The charges stem from payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, both of whom claimed to have had affairs with Trump and were paid shortly before the 2016 election. That means, for the first time, a Trump aide has been found guilty of an offense.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/08/21/why-cohen-plea-deal-is-bad-trump-it-puts-him-very-close-an-actual-crime/
He stated under oath that received the reimbursement from the candidate Donald Trump.

Cohen also admit he worked “with and at direction of the same candidate” in providing a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during the campaign.

Not if they were designed to alter the outcome of the election.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Michael D. Cohen, said in court that he made the $130,000 payment “at the direction” of Mr. Trump.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Mr. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, directly implicated the president in a federal crime, alleging that Mr. Trump was actively involved in the decisions to try to bury the women’s stories.

Such payments to bolster a presidential candidate are considered in-kind contributions to a campaign and must be disclosed. Individual donations to campaigns are capped at $2,700 per election, and corporate contributions are barred, according to campaign-finance law.

Conspiring to cause an excessive campaign contribution of more than $25,000 is an indictable offense and a felony. Sitting presidents cannot be indicted under Department of Justice policy.

Rick Hasen, a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine, said Mr. Cohen’s admission could amount to an “impeachable offense,” particularly if Democrats retake the majority in the House this fall.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Fox News has been saying that it just another deep state conspiracy to destroy the President. It's not really a violation of the campaign laws.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The question about whether Cohen would cooperate with prosecutors was the big one here, but it seems almost moot now. He has already provided key evidence publicly, and now he has rather clearly suggested, via his plea, that Trump was involved. Cohen has also previewed a willingness to cooperate, even publicly revealing a tape of a conversation he had with Trump about buying the rights to the story of one of Trump’s accusers, McDougal.

We have crossed a new threshold in this whole matter.

Washington Post story

But it really comes down to this.

If the contributions to the two women to remain silent about their sexual relationships and not affect the outcome of the election made by Cohen as directed by Trump and he was reimbursed by Trump were a violation of campaign regulations?

If so, why won't the Republicans impeach the President?

Chuck Todd: ‘This Could Be Most Consequential Day of the Trump Presidency’

“It’s all happening,” said Chuck Todd at the outset of MTP: Daily Tuesday on MSNBC.

And indeed, it was. Simultaneously during the 4 P.M. ET hour on Tuesday, President Donald Trump‘s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty on fraud charges, and his former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign finance violations. And most damning of all, Cohen directly implicated the president during his plea in open court, saying that he helped pay off Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal “at [the] direction” of Trump.

“We begin tonight with breaking news,” Todd said. “And it’s all crumbling on top of the president’s head.”

In an administration with so many eventful days, it would seem understandable that Todd would proclaim any single one of them to be the most crucial. But the NBC News political director didn’t shy away from making the statement on Tuesday.

“This could be the most consequential day of the Trump presidency yet.”

James said...

Pressure Ratchets Up on Trump

Dan Balz: “No day during President Trump’s 19 months in office could prove as dangerous or debilitating as Tuesday. Everything that happened in a pair of courtrooms hundreds of miles apart strengthened the hand of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and weakened that of the president of the United States.

“This was a day when truth overran tweets, when facts overwhelmed bald assertions. Presidential tweets, however provocative, eventually disappear into the ether. Tuesday’s convictions could send two people who have had close relationships with Trump to prison for several years, while one of them brought the investigation to the doorstep of the White House.

“What took place Tuesday will ratchet up the pressure on the president, will embolden his critics, and will no doubt inflame and rally his supporters. If the past months have seemed increasingly hot, the coming months could be hotter still — there’s little doubt that the Trump presidency has now entered more treacherous territory, and no one can know where it will end.”

James said...

Cohen’s Lawyer Suggests Trump Knew About Collusion

Lanny Davis strongly suggested to Rachel Maddow that his client Michael Cohen has information for special counsel Robert Mueller on the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia and Daonald Trump’s personal knowledge of plans for Russian hacking before the hacking occurred.

Said Davis: “I can tell you that Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows; not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election, which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also 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.”

James said...

The Similarities with Nixon Grow

Bob Bauer: “How the case develops from here is not possible to judge at this time, but the Cohen campaign finance plea resonates unmistakably with the special counsel investigation, which also concerns what a candidate is prepared to do to win an election and then cover his tracks. The criminal information cites the involvement of unnamed members of the Trump campaign; the campaign, like the candidate, is now clearly in separate legal jeopardy.

”The similarities between Trump’s problems and those of Richard Nixon continue to grow. In the short term, should there be any doubt about Trump’s unwillingness to sit for an interview with prosecutors, this seems yet another reason why he had no intention to do so. His lawyers will now busily attack Cohen, as they have already begun to do, but they don’t know what he’s told prosecutors or what evidence he has supplied to back up his claims. Any interview with the president would touch on these issues, among others—and the president whose lawyer has proclaimed that ‘truth is not truth’ and who repeatedly rails about ‘perjury traps’ is surely not able to take his chances with his own version of the Daniels and McDougal tales.

“This is another possibility raised by the Cohen plea. It may not matter whether the president agrees to testify. Others seem prepared to bear that burden. As Nixon found when one of his lawyers also became a witness for the government, this can be the beginning of very hard times.”

James said...

Trump Is Now In Real Legal Jeopardy

Rick Hasen: “For the first time since the Trump presidency began, President Donald Trump is in some real legal jeopardy, providing potential grounds for his eventual impeachment, if not indictment.

“Most people watching the investigations involving Trump and his orbit have been focused on whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller is going to bring charges related possible illegal coordination between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russian government entities. But Tuesday brought news of a different kind of campaign collusion: between Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. Cohen’s guilty plea to campaign finance violations related to hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal bring the president front and center in a conspiracy to violate federal campaign finance laws.

”More importantly, assuming Cohen’s story can be corroborated with documentary evidence, the campaign finance violations could count as impeachable offenses that the House of Representatives could consider in any articles of impeachment against Trump.”

James said...

White House Starts to Think About Impeachment

Maggie Haberman: “Trump folks are worried about impeachment more than before. The thinking goes like this: this is something tangible, not a theoretical. And it didn’t come from Mueller. Does not mean it will happen, but this has moved to a different stage in their minds.”

James said...

A ‘Law and Order’ President Surrounded by Felons

Jonathan Chait: “Donald Trump ran for president as the professed candidate of ‘law and order,’ a phrase he borrowed from Richard Nixon. He successfully portrayed his opponents — not only the Democratic presidential candidate, but the entire Establishment arrayed against him — as a corrupt oligarchy enriching itself at the public expense. By now, at this probably still-early point in the Mueller investigation, we know that Trump’s campaign manager, national security adviser, and personal attorney, along with two other campaign aides, are convicted and confessed felons.

James said...

Cohen Implicates Trump In Campaign Violations

Michael Cohen said in court that he committed federal campaign finance violations in coordinating hush money payments to two women — Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal — “in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office,” Bloomberg News reports.

Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a bank and two campaign finance violations.

“Cohen was shaking head and appeared to be holding back emotions as judge reviews possible sentence. Cohen faces a likely prison sentence of 46 to 63 months, the judge said.”

The judge set sentencing for December 12.

The second talking point will be that no crime was committed by the candidate Trump. Cohen stated that the candidate Trump directed him to violate campaign law.
Who is more credible? A known pathological liar or a lawyer who lost his respect for the President after Helsinki where the President accepted the word of Vladimir Putin over every single intelligence agency in the country.

President Trump traveled to West Virginia to tout the planned measure, telling supporters, “We’re putting our great coal miners back to work.”

Yet the reality on the ground for the nation’s coal industry remains bleak. Even the Trump administration’s own numbers suggest that its latest proposal won’t reverse the sharp decline of coal power, which has been crushed by competition from cheaper natural gas and renewable energy over the past decade.

More than 200 coal plants have shut down since 2010, and another 40 plants have announced they will close in the years ahead, with virtually no new coal plants being built today.

At best, if finalized, the E.P.A.’s newest rollback could help a small number of those endangered coal plants stave off retirement for a bit longer, albeit at the expense of increased air pollution. But even in that scenario, the agency’s own analysis showed, coal power would still decline by 20 percent between now and 2030 and coal mining would drop by one-third.

The Manhattan prosecutor said Cohen paid hush money and subsequently seemed reimbursement by candidate's company by submitting invoice for services rendered. So by his own words, Cohen paid it not trump.

And let's add Tim geitner and tom daschle to the list of dem tax frauds who did not get prosecuted.

Two tier justice system in play.

LOL.



wp has decided to come out and take some sort of homophobic tea bag victory lap to celebrate convictions that manafort would otherwise not have suffered had he not known and worked for trump.

victory doesn't get more hollow than that.

Maybe we can get trump to accept the responsibility for this travesty!!!!

Yarrabee Farms, the Iowa farm that employed the suspect charged with killing Mollie Tibbetts, defended its vetting of Cristhian Bahena Rivera late Tuesday. The farm says Rivera passed the government's background check and it had no idea he was an undocumented immigrant.

Rivera, who the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Tuesday afternoon is responsible for the 20-year-old University of Iowa student's death last month, was called an "employee in good standing."

"This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government's E-Verify system, and was an employee in good standing," Yarrabee Farms said in the statement. "On Monday, the authorities visited our farm and talked to our employees. We have cooperated fully with their investigation."

Was the strange language in Michael Cohen’s guilty plea a set-up?

...But what law was broken? As Cohen agreed to a guilty plea, it was the federal prosecutor that enumerated, with Cohen’s attorney’s concurrence, what he would plead guilty to and which laws he violated. In the case of the so-called campaign contribution on behalf of Donald Trump, per Bradley Smith former Chairman of the Federal Election Committee, these payments do not constitute an in-kind campaign contribution.

...So, why did the Prosecutor include in the guilty plea that Michael Cohen violated campaign finance laws when clearly the monies came from Donald Trump’s personal funds and, per Mr. Smith above, had no direct bearing on the campaign?

It was apparent to me that Lanny Davis’s primary charge was to rescue Cohen from the prison term his innumerable foibles and illegalities would generate. But there was also a political and personal side benefit to Davis’s retainer: embarrass and indirectly charge Trump with a crime. Which would provide a fig leaf of legal grounds for impeachment should the Democrats take over the House of Representatives or, if that did not eventuate, to drive Trump’s approval down to the point that he would became essentially impotent and thus unviable in 2020.

...Did Davis, in negotiating Cohen’s guilty plea with the prosecutor, insist that the campaign finance charges be included? Would the prosecutor, anxious to notch Cohen’s scalp on his belt, agree, as these two charges of the eight were the least serious and, based on recent history of other violations of campaign financing, comparatively meaningless in terms of jail sentences or fines? It certainly appears so, as these two insignificant charges were important only to the anti-Trump cabal which includes Lanny Davis.
