NY prosecutors: Cohen’s campaign crimes for Trump “struck a blow to one of the core goals of the federal campaign finance laws: transparency.”
“Cohen deceived the voting public by hiding alleged facts that he believed would have had a substantial effect on the election.”
Prosecutors argue Cohen’s crimes, taken together, reveal a knowing effort to “undermine core institutions of our democracy.”
Cohen’s gambit of touting that he did not seek a *pardon* from Trump backfires with prosecutors — they cite that very claim as further evidence he has a criminal “mindset” that he believes “he is above the law.” Snap.
