Michael Cohen pleads guilty to 8 Counts:
Counts 1-5: Tax evasion 2012-2016
Count 6: False statement to financial institution Feb 2015-April 2016
Count 7: Willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution June 2016-Oct. 2016
Count 8: Excessive campaign contribution on Oct 27, 2016
#BREAKING: Michael Cohen admits he violated campaign finance laws re Stormy Daniels payment AT THE DIRECTION OF DONALD TRUMP. That means the POTUS is a co-conspirator in a felony. It would be a mockery of American justice if Trump isn’t indicted OR if he pardons a co-conspirator.
Michael Cohen admits to essentially a conspiracy w/ Trump to defraud the public. Prediction: We will soon learn 1) Trump knew and directed Flynn to discuss sanctions w/ Kislyak, and 2) Trump knew & authorized Trump Tower meeting with Russians & his campaign—Manafort, Jr, Kushner.
“We are a nation of laws”—US Attorney says, outside NYC Courtroom where Michael Cohen just pleaded guilty to 8 felonies, including 2 campaign finance violations “in coordination & at the direction of a candidate for federal office…principal purpose was to influence the election”

>> BOOM >> Mueller has evidence Manafort shared polling data about the 2016 presidential election with Russian intel asset Kilimnik. And lied about it. His lawyers bungled redactions in filing and here we are. #TrumpRussia #Conspiracy #Collusion #RussiaGate #MuellerInvestigation
My favorite part so far (paraphrasing): OK, so Manafort shared [presidential polling data] with Kilimnik. But why assume he lied when he failed to tell Mueller? He just forgot! He was so busy! After all, he was running a US presidential campaign. He can't remember EVerything. lol
Not only is NO COLLUSION a big lie. There’s so damn much collusion, it’s more like TREASON. We learned today 1) Manafort met Russian agent Kilimnik in Madrid during campaign, 2) Paulie shared polling data w/ him, & 3) They discussed “Ukrainian peace plan.” While Russia attacked.

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press
