Cohen Sentenced

Enka, Cohen confessed to two violations of campaign finance law that implicate Trump:

1. The law prohibits individuals from giving more than $2700 to a campaign.   Cohen paid Stormy Daniels $150,000 out of his own funds to help Trump's campaign.    So the contribution was illegal and he also lied about it, and said that he did it at the direction of  his client Donald Trump.  

Normally an illegal campaign contribution like this one, is a civil, not a criminal violation. But Cohen, at Trump's direction,  devised an elaborate scheme to avoid getting caught.  So they did it intentionally and knowing it was illegal and made efforts to cover it up.  That makes their actions a criminal violation.  

Because he said Trump directed him to do it,  Trump is also responsible for committing the crime. 

2. Also the CEO of the tabloid newspaper the National Inquirer, also admitted to making an illegal payment to the Trump campaign by paying Karen McDougal, the Playboy model, to save the Trump campaign. Because they made the payments to save Trump's campaign and win an election, it makes these payments campaign contributions.

Because corporations are not allowed to donate to election campaigns, their action was illegal.  [Corporations can donate to PACs but not election campaigns.]  They didn't donate the money to a PAC because it was a secret donation to hush up Karen McDougal and a PAC would not have spent the money to hush up McDougal. 

Once again, the normally civil violation became criminal because they  knowingly made the payments as part of an elaborate scheme to avoid getting caught.  They also  declared that they did it at the behest of Donald Trump which makes Donald Trump a co-conspirator in a criminal crime.  

So Trump is implicated in committing two major campaign contribution crimes that influenced a narrow election which contributed  to stealing the presidency from Hilary Clinton. 

Experts are saying that these crimes alone are probably not enough to get the Congress to impeach him.  Impeachment has to be for "high crimes,"  but Mueller will show they are part of a series of crimes  Trump's close associates committed at Trump's direction and with his knowledge, in order to get him elected.

The greater crimes against the country are collusion with foreign governments to enrich Trump's businesses in exchange for swaying U.S. foreign policy -- essentially taking bribes from Russia.   These are definitely "high crimes" and thus impeachable offenses.  

Michale Flynn's disclosures are likely to be the most damaging to Trump in this way. 

Cohen also admitted to trying to get a deal with the Russian government back in 2013 for a Moscow Trump hotel.  This disclosure will feed into Trump's collusion with Russia evidence.

I believe that  Donald Trump has been running a crime syndicate, involving  money laundering activities and bribe-taking from foreign governments in order to get rich and to get elected.   In exchange, he has tried to influence our country's foreign policy in  order to pay back foreign governments, mainly Russia.  These two crimes are very serious and represent a level of criminal behavior never before seen in a U.S. president.  

I also have in meditation seen that Robert Mueller  has uncovered a vast network of organized crimes by Donald Trump, the likes of which have never been seen in a U.S. president. 

Mueller has documented the evidence for these crimes and we will eventually be able to see that evidence.
