Michael Cohen pleads guilty to campaign finance fraud, tax evasion

Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and “fixer,” Michael Cohen, has pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud stemming from hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal.

The 51-year-old Cohen entered the plea in federal court in New York on Tuesday. The other charges involve bank fraud and income tax evasion.

As part of his plea agreement, Cohen agreed not to challenge any sentence from 46 to 63 months.

Cohen’s plea follows months of scrutiny from federal investigations and a falling out with the president, whom he previously said he’d “take a bullet” for.

FBI raids in April sought bank records, communications with Trump’s campaign and information on payments to Daniels and McDougal.

Both women claimed Trump had affairs with them, which Trump denies.

I personally like to see us actually doing something about white collar crime for once. The middle and lower classes are always the ones who suffer because laws are for poor people.

Follow the money. If there was, or was not any Russian collusion is it wrong to catch a criminal or is he a hero like Al Capone was

He and his shady cronies are the evil agenda. The plan is: keep getting rich while dividing the middle and lower class so they cant assemble and hold us accountable for what we're doing to a once great nation

Cohen has turned to Lanny Davis, President Clinton's former attorney and close friends of the Clintons. .Lanny Jesse Davis is an American lawyer, consultant, lobbyist, author, and television commentator. He is the co-founder and partner of the law firm of Davis Goldberg & Galper PLLC, and co-founder and partner of the public relations firm Trident DMG. From 1996 to 1998, he served as a special counsel to President Bill Clinton, and was a spokesperson for the President and the White House on matters concerning campaign-finance. Why isn’t congress doing anything about this Mueller mess???? Doesn’t seem to be an investigation about Russia. Mueller going after anyone and everyone who knows the President to frame them into telling the story they want for $$$$. It is nothing more than a FRAME UP!!!
