TrumpsEndIsNear I'm sorry, since Mel went blond it appears Don is doing the same thing, yes?

Why does this even matter? When has 'I didn't know it was illegal' EVER been a legitimate defense?

Investigate Clinton bitch. She spent 3 times more legally and used corruption schemes extremely widely. Rating agencies lied in her support, all media, American and European defamed Trump. How much it costs? $Billions.

that shouldnt even be a defense!! ignorance of the law is no defense!!!

My thoughts.... I fully expect another one of his staff to end up with federal charges and wouldn't be surprised to see him admittedly embrace ignorance to weasel out of this. He's the world's most powerful constant victim. I swear he's like an overgrown orange toddler

Lock him up

He also claims to be the best President in American history.

He is an angel compared yo the Clintons, dig up there littke rock real estate debacle WSJ

No one understands campaign finance law. If you think Trump does, the you need to stop calling him stupid. Most lawyers don’t get it.

Many experts today, including the FEC commissioners don't believe paying for a confidentiality agreement with private money is a campaign violation.

Oh please, the man is an idiot. He lied then and continues to lie now.

Não leva nada pelo lado pessoal, mas não vou postar nenhuma imagem de Trump. Só notícias que não mostra a imagem dele, apenas notícias faça comentários de Trump sem sua imagem. Isso quer dizer geral...

He was a donor then not a candidate. Big difference.

Lol

Hillary also indicated at one point she knew the 'C' on the classified docs meant Classified.. yet she was able to convince jim comey she didnt .. hahah wink wink

Guilty ✅😜😡🤡🎬o_O

DUH! Cohen didn't have access to campaign funds and Trump didn't need them..... Paint yourself into a corner....PLEASE.

He has the most bigly knowing

Is the WSJ Twitter intern the same person who tweets for the NYT? Because this is not the type of story a responsible WSJ would cover.

This is the winner. They say he knows nothing but on an uncorroborated statement he is an expert and going to jail. Close the bar.

He was probably lying about that as well

Hey. If you have to pick a defense for a Donald J. Trump felony? 'He had no clue what he was doing' is actually pretty good.

I now believe the WSJ is part of the swamp in Washington DC.

This cat can't remember yesterday.

The Рresident of the SovietUnion,Gorbachev, publicly stated that it was easy to deceive and confuse Putin. Even in matters of disarmament he was deceived and confused. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS

And gosh knows the law hasn't changed.

I understand that robbing a bank is wrong. But if my lawyer robs a bank, that doesn't mean I am guilty, you know? The person breaking the law willingly in this case is the lawyer. And when Cohen allegedly violated campaign finance laws, that was him pulling the trigger.

'deep understanding' translation - he doesn't have the slightest fucking clue about campaign-finance law

Stop.

Understanding doesn't mean he is guilty when HIS LAWYER (who violated the law) willingly broke the law, if at all. His lawyer Cohen could have said 'can't do that, chief.' But...he didn't.

He doesn't know shit!
