Trump Lawyer Cohen On Tax Con, Being A 'Political Prisoner' & Why The Trump Org Is Tiny | MSNBC
The Republican Party is no longer a political party/movement
Not that I don’t agree, but can you post anything else.
@Peaceful Wind
😳😳😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a BOWEL “MOVEMENT!”
Republicans are nothing but thugs and hoodlums.
Unfortunately, neither is the DNC. They’ve both proved they’re too corrupt for any reasonable person to side with either of them.
The song by Lee Greenwood, God Bless the USA, the lyrics need to be changed to God help the USA under donald the dumb
I never liked that song anyway.
TRUMP KNOWS HE HAS LOST AND WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO STAY OUT OF PRISON
@Darrell Smith
Nope! You know what Putin does to people that disappoint him…RIP
Well I didn’t know that so he’s lying about millions of staffers how in the world can this be happening a false company like a made up corporation Wow WOW 📣
Hahah, Who is for mass mail in voting? (Joe) Who’s district was caught? (Ilhan diper head) Who is in bed with billionares letting fellons out on bail? (Joe, Kamala and Bloomberg) Who wants to pack supreme court adding multiple justices to make liberal judgments. Trump will get Amy in that justice spot so fast and make sure we have a fight. Joe will lose so hard he will defect to China with Hunter. When it is too late to run, the navy blows up their plane and they all die. Trump will win, and we will fight to death, to save this great nation from leftist terrorists stealing our democracy.
Sadly I think he’ll be reelected there’s too many morons who support him
@Anonymous 2020 Nooooooooo!
Micheal is really p.o.’d at Trumpo
Al Capone was taken down on tax evasion charges – if they take Trump down based on that, God bless them.
There is no evidence Trump broke any tax law.
Nah, it’s gonna be both.
@zeppo shemp I didn’t say there was – innocent, until proven guilty.
@zeppo shemp There is plenty of evidence, just wait.
God bless Al Capone soul🙏🏻
Donald J Trump is killing this country
Wait until you see what the CCP does to it if Trump isn’t there.
The man child destroys any business no he runs. After the cheating and scamming, he then hide behind lawsuits and lawyers. It’s the same game and he does it because that is truly the only thing he knows how to do.
@dim pool he is our reward/punishment for all that.
Small correction, people who support people like Trump are killing this country. Trump isn’t doing anything differently than he has in the past 50+ years.
And his not the root cause, but simply the results. And if you think he’s bad, wait till the following election cycle where another GOP wins the presidency. You have seen nothing yet.
Rat Vermin
So he calls Americans that pay taxes stupid and didn’t answer the question. That’s what I got out of that.
Or, maybe he did pay millions, but to whom? Not the USA.
Hahah, Who is for mass mail in voting? (Joe) Who’s district was caught? (Ilhan diper head) Who is in bed with billionares letting fellons out on bail?

@Justin Babe You need to get a job

@Justin Babe duped
Narcissist,lier,bully. He will go kicking and screaming. Luckily our forefathers put in place ways to get rid of want to be tyrants.
Fishing God. Checks and balances? These haven’t worked so far!
LIAR is traitor trump. That is his name forever more!
Never count a narcissist out. I’m warning and with Barr , kushner and uncle BIBI
Trump crime family are going down.

Barr needs too be in prison along with Trump 2 corrupt men, one is our President!
The whole insidious group needs to be in prison .
Trump probably already sold him a condo in Trump Tower Tbilisi or Moscow.
Don’t drop the soap.
The heads of HHS and Education
By now Barrry is strategising how to breakaway, unless he is brain dead. Note mikey is pleading to his own core supporters shamelessly in the fox knowing that his support for Dumb in return for campaign financially has disappear in thin air.
AMERICA; WAKE UP!!! LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR COUNTRY!!! YOUR DEMOCRACY IS BEING DISMANTLED FROM THE TOP DOWN!!!
Are you on the White House FB page, many there worship him. So much it is scary.
Just like Capone, the IRS is the only way to get him on something he can’t lie about. he’s going away for a long time, some members of the family too most likely. Please televise it when he goes out in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit!
He’ll get the ratings he’s always wanted if they televise it.
@Chris Morrison
I will go out and purchase a tv just for that courtroom “show!” It will be epic!
That’s what I thought too. So much law and order and they can’t get these criminals in jail. Wow!
Congress has cut IRS funding so it is 1/3 understaffed! Gee, whose advantage was that!
Yes, the TRUMP CLAN belong to the cells.
Cohen, keeping telling the truth about the coward.
He’s gonna keep on too. He loves it because he was used like everyone else and now he’s in a GREAT position compared to his former boss.
Trumps business is a scam, a ponsy scheme, all that glitters is not gold & trumps all show & no substance.
P T Barnaum CLOWN LOSER
Can’t wait to see Ivanka getting a new job in prison. Them women just gonna love the sugar britches. Perhaps she should’ve been a little more nicer when millions lost their jobs.

And the Trump boys…..they’ll keep them well doped up when they go to prison. Shouldn’t be a problem for them.
Mr. Cohen…bad company corrupts good character. You knew that going in.
That being said, welcome back.
Agreed, look at how many have had that happen to them professionally and personally. Hope Melania has taken precautions.
And of course you know who makes up the taxes Trump doesn’t pay.
Trump: I was a private business “people” 🤣 trump’s stupidity large or little has no bounds

He pluralized the word to also cover the “Folks” that live inside his head.. the ones he always refers to by saying “People are telling me…”

The day *The Trumps* do the _Perp Walk_ is going to be a glorious day… It should be named a national holiday 😂
And everyone gets to throw cooked cold Goya beans at them while repeating the word SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
argentin3 😂 classic
If I was a Donald Trump supporter I’m not sure if I would be embarrassed or pi$$ed or both for being conned by the biggest grifter in American History.
Trump only care about his 🍄 taxpayers cover Trump’s 🍄 controversies
