Former FEC Commissioner Hans Von Spakovsky debunked the argument that President Donald Trump broke campaign finance laws by paying women he allegedly had affairs with prior to becoming president.
The president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail on Wednesday for a litany of crimes, including making an illegal campaign contribution amounting to $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, who alleges she slept with Trump in 2006, so she would keep quiet about the affair.
Despite the guilty plea, Spakovsky said that Trump should not be worried because it would have to be a “campaign-related expense” for the contribution break any campaign finance laws.
He also pointed out that the only other time the Justice Department tried to say payments like these were campaign-related expenses was with John Edwards. Donations to Edwards’ campaign actually went to paying his mistress, a woman who worked for the campaign and ended up having his child.
A jury, however, ruled that Edwards’ donations were not a campaign-related expense.
Spakovsky went on to say that Trump has nothing to worry about and that the U.S. attorney’s office is being “overly aggressive” in their pursuit of the matter
good luck with this strategy to undermine the President's crimes, but, I sincerely doubt it's going to change very many people's minds.
What is not in doubt is that the correct reasoning from Spakovsky won't change YOUR mind.

Its possible Cohen lied when he admitted to campaign finance charges just so he could get a better sentencing dealSo let's see. Attorney Michael Cohen, Michael Cohen's attorneys, Robert Mueller, and the entirety of the SDNY are all wrong.
If this is what you have to hang on to in order to feel better, then do it. But nobody who thinks about it with a clear and fully functioning critical thinking process buys it
Its possible Cohen lied when he admitted to campaign finance charges just so he could get a better sentencing deal
And have you seen the contents of these emails??The SDNY and Mueller's team have possession of all of Cohen's emails, computers, phone records, etc. They didn't name Individual 1 (Trump) on Cohen's word. They did it because they had the proof
And have you seen the contents of these emails??
I'll take that as a no, you havent seen the contents of these emails. So how do you know if they are incriminating or not.Are you here to ask stupid questions?
I use my brain. Don't you?

Cohen may have pled guilty to a non-crime to get a lesser sentence on a real crime
Cohen couldve lied to get a better prison deal. This is quite possible since Cohen is a proven criminal who cheated on his taxes.Yes, you're right. They all just did this on Cohen's say so. That's what Trump told you to say, and you obey.
I'll join the rest of the adults who know that Cohen didn't plead to something based on no proof. In other words, the people who think for themselves and don't let the reality TV game show host tell them to let common sense fly out the window because he's so awesomes
Cohen couldve lied to get a better prison deal. This is quite possible since Cohen is a proven criminal who cheated on his taxes.
How you can you blindly trust someone like that??
It sounds like you do. You're putting your blind trust in a criminalI don't blindly trust anyone
