Why can't the MEDIA STOP calling it 'hush money'...call it what it is..
ELECTION INTERFERENCE! Period. Thanks!!!!

[CorvusTX]

Traitors don’t deserve pardons. Traitors must be made an example.

[wesleyc.]

But Nixon actually had the sense to resign... immediately and unequivocally.

[stevejette]

WHAT ??? Romney suggested that trump get a pardon ??? For anything ??? How totally clueless is Mitt ???

[kylecarney]

Cohen might not have been credible in the past but I've got 11, 780 reasons to believe him more than Trump.

[purplespiritzone]

😆 Fact: Michael Cohen is NOT on trial, defendant Trump is.

[MikeMontgomery]

We have entirely too many elected officials that are totally out of touch with 99% of the citizenship.

[ITGuy]

As it's always been, it's up us in November. We cannot count on the corrupt court system to rid us of this malignant narcissist. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY THIS NOVEMBER!

[SNOOPYSNOOPA]

WHO CARES WHAT MITT ROMNEY HAS TO SAY ON HIS WAY OUTTA THE 🚪 DOOR, KICK ROCKS😂😅😂

[dannyspitzer]

Put King Donnie on the stand, and let's check his credibility...😆

[raymondkymsuttle]

Why are they giving him a platform outside the court at all????

[Jean-kpcu]

I was against the pardon of Nixon back when it happened; both because of Nixon and exactly for how it is now influencing Trump.

[greghelton]

Nothing the defense said is relevant as far as whether trump falsified business records. Cohen is being honest about how he feels about trump, a sentiment sharged by millions. The evidence is there and that’s what matters.

Why isn't gaetz in prison for messing with minors?

[philscott]

Gaetz heard there would be a 14 year old in court.

[cgarrett]

No pardon for trump. Period. I call B.S.

[TonyaTipton]

If Cohen has evidence to backup the things he is saying then how is this harming his credibility?

[lorenzrey]

It's Trump, who is on trial. Not Cohen.

[chaupham]

Does any one want to give $130, 000 away and doesn't want to get any money back.

[roachtoasties]

Correct me if I'm wrong: A president can't pardon someone from state charges.
