- violating US sanctions on Russia, by conducting real-estate business with a sanctioned russian bank
- lying under oath, by giving a false written statement about the Trump Tower meeting to Robert Mueller
- lying under oath, by giving a false written statement about the Wikileaks-connection to Robert Mueller
- violating campaign-finance law, by paying hush-money to Stormy Daniels to influence the election
- bank-fraud, by falsely claiming that the cheques to Cohen were regular reimbursements
- tax-fraud, by giving the worth of his assets below their real value
- insurance-fraud, by giving the worth of his assets above their real value
A while ago I read an article saying that even though Trump himself is untouchable, prosecutors could destroy the Trump Organization while he is still in office, before his very eyes.
Cohen just increased the odds for that.

(11,885 posts)When asked about if he knew of other payoffs, then answered he knew that was the only direct trump payoff he knew about, but he knew a lot more were paid off I'd bet, especially from his other lawyer Kazowitz as was suggested b i think it was Steve Bannon who suggested he may have paid off 100's of others. He also didn't talk about how trump threatened many others using people to scare people with, like did he have any knowledge about who threatened Stormy Daniels, because I'd bet he was aware of who was used to do that, and was part of having that done. They also never asked about the Epstein connections , and what he knew about it. After Wesselberg, Pecker , and Jared and his wife and JR and Eric are all called before the House more will come out, and some will lie even more, and be looking at jail time. This will end badly for the trumps and those involved .
