That probe had looked at whether to charge Trump Org officials who agreed to reimburse Cohen for hush money payments he made to Stormy Daniels — a possible campaign finance violation that, Cohen testified, occurred at the direction of President Trump.
But since Barr has already interfered in the tRump Org investigation, which seems also to have been shut down recently without much explanation, why am I not surprised this was the next step in making it all go away?

I’ve had a case in Judge Pauley’s court. He granted my motion to dismiss and warned the other side they were about to be sanctioned. He’s a good judge.

He personally intervened in the Eric Garner case and decided no charges for the murdering cop so that there will be more racial tension for the 2020 election.
