Ignorance of the law is not a defense. It never has been and never will be. IF you think about it, it is necessarily so.

“I think it is pretty realistic to say that somebody who is a celebrity who gets sued for these things would not know whether that’s a campaign violation or not

Please check the area around your seat and make sure to take all your belongings with you.

Mr. Short misspoke. I believe he meant to say “Atrocity”, not “Celebrity”.

Sure took a lot of effort to lie and cover up something that he thought was legal.

…a celebrity who gets sued for these things would not know whether that’s a campaign violation or not…

A “celebrity” that’s secretly directing his lawyer to make hush payments? Yeah, I’d say they definitely know that something’s not legit about it.

“I think it is pretty realistic to say that somebody who is a celebrity who gets sued for these things would not know whether that’s a campaign violation or not and again I think that’s open for a lot of debate.”

“Well that’s a fair point that clearly Michael Cohen does not know the law.”

How dare you say that about the pride of Thomas M. Cooley Law School, sir!

Just confirms that said “Celebrity” had no business running for office.

If Fat Nixon didn’t think there was anything wrong with the payments, then why did he lie about them for so long?

We will now hear endless variations of this:
“It was all so very confusing.”

If that’s what comes out of your mouth as you’re searching for words to defend the felon-in-chief, you might not want to book any more appearances.

When CNN has this guy on they never, ever mention that he is getting a monthly check to not say anything bad about Trump. Yet they have him on almost daily.

Beyond all the obvious outrage this sentiment elicits is the fundamental outrage that I must have sympathy for celebrities.

I cant even express how much that makes me want to break other people’s things.

And you let this guy be president?

Do you really think about what comes out of your mouth before you say it? Or, do you just spew!!

This defense that we elected an incompetent moron who is still wearing his TV makeup, and doesn’t know shit about anything is now the leader of the free world is just beyond words. But, that is what happened.

Stop defending the indefensible.
