Discussion: Trump Denies Wrongdoing, Says Cohen Is Making Up Stories

“They have survived the Russia thing, but no one knows what’s next,” said former campaign aide Barry Bennett.

Oh really? Tell us more Barry.

Come on who are you going to believe here? After all we all know that Trump is the kind of guy who when he’s paying large sums of money to pornographers to hide his sexual proclivities would always conduct such dealings above board.

“They have survived the Russia thing, but no one knows what’s next,” said former campaign aide Barry Bennett.

They did? When did that happen? I must have slept through it.

Also, what a great time for Rudy to be in Scotland and Paris Dennard getting himself suspended from CNN for acts of alleged harassment. Having to defend the orange-haired dotard full-time is about as hazardous as being a chimney sweeper.

I love how the convoluted way he talks about the situation reflects his lame attempt to minimize what Trump did. No Trump didn’t have “an” affair and then lie about it “with” a porn star and Playboy bunny. He had TWO affairs with those women and lied about them TO all the American people. (There is also the little detail that he directed his lawyer to commit two felonies in the process but never mind.)

Maybe it is time for Cohen or Omarosa to release some more tapes. I expect O. to release another recording soon, once things have settled down a bit. She likes to keep on the top of the newscasts and she is just waiting for another good opening.

It sounds like there’s emails, voicemails, canceled checks, memos… lots and lots of documentary evidence. This is no way, shape or form a he said/ she said type of situation.

Doofi (Doofuses?) are rarely at a premium where the GOP is concerned and damned if this guy doesn’t look the part. Looks like one of the progeny of a mating between Karl Rove and Virginia Foxx.

The only thing that I have done wrong, is to win an election that was expected to be won by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

Yes.

This involved directing your attorney to pay off a porn star and Playboy bunny to the tune of way more than campaign contributions allow. And you funneled the money through corporations and didn’t declare it and, et cetera. You broke the law.

And it also involved conspiring with Russia to hack DNC servers and defraud the citizens of the United States on social media. That’s, um, what’s the word? Highly criminal if not treasonous. That’s Watergate to the power of Watergate level bad.

Its just amazing how forces have aligned against Donald. Its almost as if the entire world is against him, everyone he knows eventually turns against him, he’s the lone truth teller, everyone else lies lies lies…OR…

It is reminiscent of Catch 22.

Oh those clever wordsmiths! Here is the lowdown Ari, Cohen is alleging the President was complicit in 2 separate crimes involving fraudulent use of campaign funds which is a serious felony. Glad to help out with this…

Cohen was indeed making up a story when he said he’d take a bullet for Trump.

“Having an affair and lying about it with a porn star and a Playboy bunny is not impeachable,” Fleischer said, “it’s Donald Trump.”

But a Democrat receiving a blowjob from an intern is impeachable because IOKFYAR.

Well, the fact that Clinton did so under oath does, y’know, count for something.

That said, it’s not the lying about the affair that’s impeachable here. For starters, as Neal Katyal pointed out in today’s NYT, it’s the conspiracy. And the willful nondisclosure of campaign contributions. For starters. And that’s before we even get to Russia.
