Trump lawyer 'paid by Ukraine' to arrange White House talks

Or is it part of the case against Cohen?

Wow.

So who investigates this? Do we need another special counsel or can Mueller handle this?

If I were a betting man I’d say that Mueller already knows about this. Maybe he adds it to the obstruction of justice investigation against Trump. Also, there’s nothing that says that Mueller isn’t also going to go after Cohen in the end. This seems more his purview. Ukraine and Manafort. The separate FBI raid by the southern district of New York may just be wire/campaign fraud or who knows what. Certain things Mueller wasn’t interested in.

Silence from the Trumpers.

They’ll just go back to “collusion isn’t illegal”.

I’m betting it will be: Wait where’s Russia? This is Ukraine. Mueller fails to find Russia collusion!!!

Looks like Kim’s check to Cohen for the Summit must’ve bounced.

It’s not collusion if they pay you!

It’s not against the law if the president’s lawyer does it.

It’s weird, because even if Trump is ■■■■■■■ with an investigation to protect his associates involvement in serious crimes like money laundering and bank fraud–that’s still reprehensible and inexcusable behavior on the part of a president.

Hmm, not a peep from trump huggers.

I know. Very surprising. Not yet sure how to try and spin this one perhaps?

Everybody knows the Trumpstain gets his cut, even if it’s just paying the bills.

And still nothing. How odd.

Holy cow no Trumpkins in here yet?!

Color me surprised, I mean their ability to spin is only rivaled by Trumps porn stars.

Sean and Rush were both off the air today, so likely that is the reason why none of them responded here. They are unsure how to spin this on their own. I would be unsure if I were them as well. This is pretty damning.

Pay to play was only bad until January 2017.

Judging by the lack of condemnation from Trump supporters, so it would appear.

Go look up the roger stone news…

It always was this way…cry foul till you are in charge, then it doesnt matter

DougBH · 2018-05-24T21:46:59.634Z

I’m sure Mueller is interested. The article is a hodgepodge of conflicting reports from anonymous people. It could be bad for someone…depending on which truth is the real truth.
