Ted Lieu schools Trump this morning on the law (and prison)

Link to tweet

Ted Lieu
Dear @realDonaldTrump: In case you missed it, Michael Cohen IS GOING TO PRISON for the illegal hush money campaign payments. If you wrote those checks, that means you are what prosecutors would call a CO-CONSPIRATOR.

That's not fake news, it's the law.

In response to:

Donald J. Trump

It was not a campaign contribution, and there were no violations of the campaign finance laws by me. Fake News!

They're too dumb to know better and he's too dumb to realize that law enforcement isn't a popularity contest or something that enough muscle can overcome.

The protective cloak of the presidency is egregiously applied to this criminal, and I only wish the Constitution had a way to fast track due process under these type of circumstances, given the enormous power of the office.
