re: The entire “Cohen campaign finance violation” is a joke

This is what I don't understand. Trump has probably paid off plenty of people before his run for pres. Cohen is probably the person to pay them off. I am sure they can dig all of those out of the archives. It is what people with money do. Mr Trump we can fight this lawsuit in court and chances are good we will win. It will cost you a million in lawyer fees. Or we can pay them 130k and they will sign a nondisclosure so it doesn't go public and harm your family

Trump then just references the past payoffs Cohen made for him prior to running for pres and any direction was similar to past payoffs. He never instructed him to use campaign funds and he don't use campaign funds.

So what would be the crime?
