(22,380 posts)- his tweets would then be even more entertaining - half the time I think he acts drunk as things are now.
Duppers
(28,125 posts)Which he's not handling well now. This is going to get even more "interesting" - and <gulp> dangerous.
When they eventually come to lock him up, it will be in a padded cell.

"In a startling admission, Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws at the direction of a candidate for federal office. Those charges concerned two payments one for $150,000 and another for $130,000 which were made to two unnamed individuals who Cohen said had information that was damaging to the unnamed candidate."
Soon to be indicted conspirator...have to get the underling before the boss, that is how mob takedowns are done.

(88 posts)I guess I'm alone. I would have much preferred to have had Cohen name "Donald Trump" by name, as opposed to referring to having been directed by "a candidate for federal office".
