How Cohen’s Money Trail Could Capsize The Donald Trump Presidency | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

The Stormy Daniels scandal and the Mueller Russia probe appear to converge around Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen, as Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti alleges corporate and foreign payments to Cohen may have entered the same account used to pay his client $130,000 in hush money. Former U.S. Attorney Randall Eliason tells Ari Melber that corporations paying Cohen might be “sleazy and unethical and the Washington swamp, but not necessarily illegal”. Rev. Al Sharpton notes that Michael Avenatti has “identified Cohen” as the person to “penetrate” to understand Trump’s exposure.

How Cohen’s Money Trail Could Capsize The Donald Trump Presidency | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

[theblade]

Anyone else tired of this circus? Impeach and be done with it. Best for the country.

[ryanchardon]

Cohen's gonna flip and Trump feels it

[valturner]

Trump is tweeting nervously today.. can't even take a day to show respect on Memorial Day

[tanazinn]

I can almost hear the sound of handcuffs clicking...can't wait!!

[antitrumpster]

Pay Foreplay!!!! Enough Foreplay!!!! Let's do it!!!! Get rid of Trumpty Dumpty and his

[papaburger]

I think the media should not give too much info to trump . If you truly want trump out, then keep trump in the dark .

[AzimuthTao]

1:28 "pay for pay"
He can't even get 3 words correct.

[redjack]

So tired of the what if’s, 1 1/2 years and he’s still in office WTF !

[dawnoceanside]

When will Americans rise up?
Silence is complicity.

[justagamer]

Micheal Cohen, the MVP on Mueller's team, Rudy Giuliani coming in a close second.

[johnedwardjones]

Can you say RICO.
THE DON could not pass up a pile of $$$$ or the opportunity to pursue it.
His self-esteem along others in in his regime is based on dollars, image, power.

[rule-of-three]

"...The kind of pay for play work that can break the law without the right registration."

What kind of country is this, where corruption is so brazen that line makes it into a teleprompter?

[valtosheva]

Even now Michael Cohen on his Twitter account claims to be "the President's personal lawyer".

[taterkaze]

Somewhere ... someone is making a nice orange jumpsuit ... for Spanky Orange Dennison.

[abundantYOUniverse]

FOX AND FIENDS THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD!

[Go-Dawgs]

Lol "which is illegal illegal illegal" my Lordy that sounded exactly like SNL said it!! So funny

[captainswag]

Donald is making it painfully hard for his supporters to have his back, with this whole 'says something is 100% illegal, then does exactly that thing'.

So if any Trump fans are reading this, just know that you have my sympathies. It's perfectly normal to want to believe in your guy, and he's not making life easy for you.

[mae]

That would be funny if Trump turns out to be the head boss of a cartel.. lol

[kimcoates]

Mueller is strategically tightening the noose around Trump. Experiencing the drip, drip, drip of damming revelations & indictment of his inner circle must be excruciating for him. Panic ensues as he awaits 'paying for his play'😉.
Rudy, you're running out of time & your smoke screen isn't working. I suspect "times up" somewhere after The Blue Wave overtakes Congress. Without the spineless GOP to cover-up for him, Trump will have to testify UNDER OATH!! Everybody, get your buttered popcorn & hot wings ready. Trump on the witness stand is gonna be a good one😉!

[Ansonidak]

Say hello to the late empire phase of the American hegemony. It's all downhill from here.
