It does.
Another argument about reality.
In case no one posted, here’s the transcript of the sentencing.
Here’s from that statement made by the judge.
Further, Mr. Cohen committed two campaign finance crimes on the eve of the 2016 presidential election with the intent to influence the outcome of that election. facilitated payments to silence two women who threatened to go public with details of purported extramarital affairs, and Mr. Cohen admitted that he did so in coordination with and at the direction of Individual One.
Ruh-roh.
Uranium One is a nothing burger, but you keep believing it. (Even Shep Smith took the time to explain it on his show) Benghazi was tirelessly questioned until the cows came home. Acid Wash? hahahaha And exactly which campaign violation did Obama PERSONALLY commit? If I recall it was a timing thing where reporting campaign money had missed the deadline, and the fine was small.
Good luck
Interesting paragraph in the statement from the Southern District of New York’s sentencing on Michael Cohen. (The full link is below.)
According to the allegations in Information 18 Cr. 602 (WHP), filed by the United States States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (the “Office”), as well as previous court filings and statements in public court proceedings:
Between 2012 and 2016, COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the Internal Revenue Service, avoiding more than $1.3 million in income tax. COHEN also made false statements to a federally insured financial institution to obtain a $500,000 home equity loan. Finally, in 2016, COHEN made or caused two separate payments to women to ensure that they did not publicly disclose their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate in advance of the election. In one instance, COHEN caused American Media, Inc. (“AMI”), which was identified in previous court filings as “Corporation-1,” to make a $150,000 payment to one woman; in the other, COHEN made a $130,000 payment to another woman through an LLC he incorporated for the purpose of making the payment. COHEN was reimbursed for the latter payment in monthly installments disguised as payments for legal services performed pursuant to a retainer, when in fact no such retainer existed. COHEN made or caused both of these payments in order to influence the 2016 election and did so in coordination with one or more members of the campaign.
The SDNY isn’t done with this yet. They’re going after those involved in Corporation 1 – members of the Trump family. Watch out, kiddies.
(Apologies for the duplicate postings. Didn’t wade through the thread initially and just saw the others. But the links are here.)

Here we go! It’s time for Trump to desperately reinterpret events.

Part 3 is out…
Lol
Just threw Cohen’s family under the bus, what despicable slob. Why do people still support this piece of ■■■■■ Seriously?
Can’t stop laughing at that garbage human.
You gotta love how he has not mentioned AMI at all…
I noticed that. That was his buddy of over 25 years. 
■■■■■■■ imbecile.
No way Donald wrote that on his own.
Disagree… The last line in the third tweet is the clue… “As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!” is a lightly veiled threat of a malpractice suit…
So…his argument is that Cohen is responsible for the decision to pay off porn stars, buy their silence right before an election, create shell companies to hide the transactions and to pay his lawyer…but…he didn’t know that was illegal and that it was Cohen’s “mistake”?
Ad then Trump goes on to say but even if he did it, its not a campaign violation and Cohen pleaded guilty to something he shouldn’t have just to embarrass the president?
Dude…your base would believe you if you just said. “Yeah I did it but no one can stop me so ha ha!”
The rest of us are simply waiting for the inevitable indictment.
Good tweet out there…
So we’re officially in the yes-I-paid-off-a-porn-star-to-defraud-the-American-electorate-but-I-was-too-stupid-to-know-it-was-illegal phase of the defense. Good luck.

Old timey conservatives are a riot. They just won’t give up their belief that they are THE REAL conservatives.
