Do you know that literally every person in politics that opposes Trump is war mongering corrupt devil, like everyone! I was in on Obama I finally thought we might get somewhere as a human race, I was played, he proceeded to be one of the worst human beings ever if that’s possible, after Clinton or Bush.. he dropped more 💣 s on innocent children than anyone else before him! These trials against Trump are a joke, you do even know what he is charged with in this Stormy Daniel’s trial, they are saying he should have used campaign funds to pay her off instead of private funds? But if he used Campaign funds that would be illegal!!! No matter how bad Trump is at the very least he didn’t start wars killing innocent babies! Do you not understand that! You have never seen war so you believe that it has merit in some instances! It’s doesn’t my friend only innocents suffers! Name 1 policy of Trumps you think is bad 1! I’ll wait!

Prof. Cominsky said Trump could be convicted if it was shown that he paid the money at least partly to protect his 2016 presidential campaign even it was also to avoid private embarrassment with his family. Chas, is that different to what you have said previously that if there is any private motive he can’t be convicted?
@kathyconway5327 27 күн бұрын
I believe Chas said that if the motive were merely personal the case could be chucked. If it were merely personal I imagine he would have divorced as he had done twice previously. But that is why Cohens statements are so pivotal.
